As Country Thunder – the largest Country music festival brand in North America, gears up for Country Thunder Florida 2026, it has today (4/29) revealed plans for its Shoreline Stage.
Taking place May 8th – 10th in Clearwater, Florida, Country Thunder Florida 2026 will add even more music to the event through the Shoreline Stage. In between main stage acts, the Shoreline Stage will spotlight up-and-coming artists – bringing fresh voices to a premier festival destination.
Featured acts are set to include CROSSFIRE CREEK, NATE VENTURELLI, TAILGATE REVIVAL and more, plus emerging singer-songwriter NOAH HICKS, whose barbed-wire vocals and high-intensity sound have already produced Country hits like “Dirt On It,” and “I Can Tell You’re Small Town.”
They’ll join Country Thunder Florida 2026’s top shelf headliners ZACH TOP, GAVIN ADCOCK and KANE BROWN, and a stacked lineup featuring RANDY HOUSER, MAX MCNOWN, SHABOOZEY, DASHA and more. It’s all set to make this year’s three-day event the perfect kickoff to summer festival season.
