COUNTRY THUNDER ARIZONA REVEALS DIAMOND-SELLING SUPERSTARS FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE AS 2027 HEADLINER

Country Thunder — the largest Country music festival brand in North America — is doubling down on star power for 2027, unveiling DIAMOND-selling duo Florida Georgia Line as the latest headliner for Country Thunder Arizona. Giving fans a chance to catch Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard back together onstage on Saturday, April 10, next year’s edition of the must-attend festival returns to its longtime home of AZ Talio Ranch in Florence, AZ, from April 8-11. Limited single day tickets are available for purchase here as well as weekend passes for Country Thunder Arizona 2027.

After building major buzz with a blitz of hint-filled billboards, Country Thunder revealed that Florida Georgia Line will join previously announced headliner Megan Moroney for Arizona’s biggest Country music blowout. The newly reunited hitmakers will take the Main Stage for the third time in the festival’s history, following explosive sets at Country Thunder Arizona 2016 and 2022.

“Florida Georgia Line has been a huge part of some unforgettable Country Thunder moments over the years, so having Brian and Tyler back together on our stage is going to be really special,” said Troy Vollhoffer, CEO of Country Thunder Music Festivals. “Our Arizona fans bring an incredible energy every year, and we know they’ve been waiting for a moment like this. Between Florida Georgia Line, Megan Moroney and everything else we still have coming, 2027 is shaping up to be one hell of a weekend in the desert.”

With more headliners and the full lineup set to be announced soon, Country Thunder Arizona is answering the massive demand for Florida Georgia Line’s awaited return. Part of a limited run of appearances on next year’s ANYTHING GOES AGAIN: THE FESTIVAL TOUR, Country Thunder Arizona is putting fans at the heart of the duo’s wildly anticipated next chapter.

Longtime masters of the supersized Country show, Florida Georgia Line deliver a high-impact live set loaded with mega-hits like their 14X PLATINUM #1 breakthrough smash  “Cruise” (the best-selling digital Country single of all time). Known for setting stadiums ablaze with their feel-good energy, the duo draw from a generation-defining catalog that began with their 2X PLATINUM 2012 debut Here’s To The Good Times — a Billboard 200 Top 10 hit that established them as a game-changing new force in Country music. With 19 career #1s (including “Meant to Be” with Bebe Rexha, an 11X PLATINUM #1 that spent a record-setting 50 weeks atop Billboard’s Hot Country Songs), Florida Georgia Line have left an indelible mark on the music world at large.

A long-running destination festival built for nonstop fun, Country Thunder Arizona extends the action well beyond the Main Stage, offering a wide-ranging mix of food, drinks, shopping, fan experiences, and late-night entertainment. On the Copperhead Stage, rising artists from The Grand Canyon State take the spotlight, while the Songwriter Showcase features the writers behind some of Country music’s biggest smashes and the Electric Thunder tent keeps festivalgoers dancing long after dark. Adding another jolt of adrenaline to the weekend, Country Thunder Arizona 2026 marked the launch of Buckin’ Thunder Pro Bull Riding — a sanctioned National Senior Pro Bull Riding event that allowed festivalgoers an up-close look at bull riding from lifelong cowboys with deep ties to the sport. Stay tuned for further details about Country Thunder Arizona 2027.
