Calgary may be deep in freezing temperatures right now, but there’s reason to look ahead to sunshine, warm temperatures, and blisters from your cowboy boots — the Country Thunder Alberta 2026 lineup is out!
The festival, which is trialing a new date next year, will feature Lainey Wilson, The Red Clay Strays, and Kane Brown as headliners.
Country music lovers will descend on The Confluence from June 26-28, 2026 to take in the high energy performances.
2026 will mark the festival’s 10th anniversary.
“We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate ten years in Calgary than kicking the party off earlier in the year,” said Troy Vollhoffer Country Thunder CEO. “Kane, Lainey and The Red Clay Strays represent everything that makes country music so exciting right now; fresh energy, incredible talent and true connection with their fans. This anniversary year is all about celebrating where we’ve been and where we’re going, and we can’t wait to spend an unforgettable weekend in Calgary this June.”
Other acts set to grace the stage include Tyler Hubbard, Ian Munsick, Mark Chestnutt, Noeline Hofmann, Elizabeth Nicols, Logan Layman, Tony Stevens, Adrien Nunez, Chevy Beaulieu, Alee, and Jaiden Riley, who won this year’s Ranchman’s Rising Star competition.
