The Country Stampede Music Festival is an outdoor country music and camping festival held at Tuttle Creek Lake State Park, north of Manhattan, Kansas. The festival has been held annually since 1996, on the last weekend in June.[2]
It is the largest annual music festival in Kansas. Total combined attendance for all days exceeds 170,000 – in 2012 it was approximately 175,000. The record for largest single-day attendance was set on June 23, 2012, when an estimated 55,000 fans watched Toby Keith perform.
The festival began as a two-day weekend event and has expanded to a four-day format, lasting from Thursday through Sunday. Camping is common for attendees, and 2,400 camp sites are available on the grounds. Vendors, and many activities are also present at the festival. A sister festival was held at the Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Kentucky in 2003 and 2004.
The 2015 festival takes place from June 25th-28th. The lineup features headlining acts Blake Shelton, Florida Georgia Line, Travis Tritt, and Thomas Rhett. Other performers include Sara Evans, Jerrod Niemann, Craig Morgan, LOCASH, Love & Theft, Angeleena Presley, Chris Lane, and The Kristina Craig Band. This year's festival is the 20th annual edition of the Country Stampede, and is being billed as the "party two decades in the making". Not surprisingly, ticket demand was at an all-time high, with VIP seating and preferred campsites selling out well in advance of the festival.[3]
