Country Thunder is rolling out its first-ever beachfront festival in 2026 with Country Thunder Florida in St. Pete Beach May 8-10, for the brand’s biggest event yet.

The star-studded lineup will be led by headliners Zach Top, Gavin Adcock and Kane Brown, with Randy Houser, Max McNown, Shaboozey, Gretchen Wilson, Braxton Keith, Dasha, Cole Goodwin, Elizabeth Nichols, Solon Holt and Jay Webb set to perform throughout the weekend. More performers will be unveiled soon.

This year’s festival will take place on the 40-acre grounds of the TradeWinds Resort, the beachfront escape home to Island Grand and RumFish Beach. Along with the music, the concourse will feature cowboy hat and apparel vendors, a wide range of food, carnival rides, plus an additional stage spotlighting rising artists from the Sunshine State, as well as a Songwriters Showcase. Tickets and Premium packages are available here.

“Bringing Country Thunder to St. Pete Beach marks an exciting new era for our festival,” says Troy Vollhoffer, CEO & President of Country Thunder. “From the moment we first stepped onto the white sands at TradeWinds, we knew this was the perfect home for an elevated fan experience. Partnering with a world-class resort that has been a cornerstone of this community allows us to deliver something truly special — not just for our fans, but for the entire region. With the Gulf as our backdrop and country music’s biggest artists on our stage, 2026 will be one for the books.”
