More Artists Announced For Chester County Country Music Festival

Several additional performers have signed on for the upcoming country music festival in Chester County.

Stars like Trace Adkins, "The Voice" winners Cassadee Pope and Danielle Bradbery, Billboard Top 10 New Artist Brett Young, and number one single singer Tyler Farr are among the new additions to the Citadel Country Spirit USA festival. The event will take place at Ludwig's Corner on Aug. 24 through Aug. 26.

Headliners for the inaugural event - Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, and Alabama - were announced back in March.

The event is organized by the minds behind Country Summer, Northern California's biggest country music festival, which is now in its fifth year. The festival will include a wide array of activities, food, and drinks, featuring a Barefoot Wine Garden, Jose Cuervo Saloon, and Sierra Nevada beer.

"It's exciting to expand our portfolio to the East Coast," said Alan Jacoby, executive producer with Impact Entertainment, which created the project. "Our goal is to create the Mid-Atlantic region's foremost annual country music festival."

There will also be a competition for three local bands to play on the "Rising Star Stage." Details on that are forthcoming.

Organizers expect thousands to come out to the 33-acre grounds for the event. They said the festival's capacity will be about 15,000 per day. Tickets, $79 for one day and starting at $219 for three days, are available here.
