Boots and Hearts have revealed their 2025 headliners for the annual event, taking place next year on Aug. 7-10 at Burl’s Creek Event Grounds in Oro-Medonte, Ontario.

Bailey Zimmerman will headline night one (Aug. 8), with Tyler Hubbard hitting the stage before him. Night two (Aug. 9) will feature a headline set from Sam Hunt, with support from Chase Rice. Koe Wetzel will warm up the crowd for the night three (Aug. 10) before headliner Hardy. More performers will be announced in early 2025.

“This year is truly special as we welcome three headliners who have been with us from the very start of their careers. It’s a genuine Boots and Hearts love story, shared with our Canadian fans,” shares Brooke Dunford, Director of Booking at Republic Live. “Hardy first captured hearts on our stage in 2019, and his journey since has been nothing short of thrilling. Sam Hunt stepped onto our side stage in 2014 for his Canadian debut, becoming an instant fan favorite. Zimmerman joined in 2023, and it was clear he was bound to headline the main stage. Moments like these remind us how incredible it is to support an artist’s rise while creating unforgettable memories for our fans. Together, we get to celebrate these milestones and share in the journey.”

Festival producers Republic Live have received a multitude of awards for their camping and festival experiences. Accolades include recognition from the Academy of Country Music for Festival of the Year and seven CCMA Award wins for Country Festival of the Year, their most recent being for the 2024 event.

Festival Co-Founder Eva Dunford says, “Our festival is more than just music—it’s where hearts meet, and friendships are made. Every year, we come together to create memorable experiences, celebrate our favorite artists, and build connections that last. I’m so proud of all the hard work the entire staff put into creating such a special event for the community and the country genre.”

Weekend passes will be available for pre-sale beginning Wednesday (Oct. 30) at 10 a.m. ET, with public on sale to follow on Friday (Nov. 1) at 10 a.m. ET.
