Cody Johnson, Bailey Zimmerman, Old Dominion To Headline Country Thunder Alberta

Cody Johnson, Bailey Zimmerman and Old Dominion are set to headline Country Thunder Alberta, taking place Aug. 15–17 in the heart of downtown Calgary.

This will mark Johnson’s first Country Thunder Alberta appearance, and Zimmerman will return to the festival after performing in 2023. Old Dominion will make their Country Thunder Alberta headline debut, following their performance in 2017.

Ashley McBryde, Jake Owen, Riley Green and Clint Black join Canadian talent Tim Hicks, James Barker Band, Lindsay Ell and Owen Riegling to fill out the festival lineup.

“We can’t wait to bring this star-studded lineup to Calgary,” says Country Thunder CEO Troy Vollhoffer. “Alberta is home to some of the most passionate country music fans in the world, and our top priority is to deliver world-class entertainment to them year after year. I think we’ve knocked it out of the park this year and I know fans will think so, too!”
