If you attended (and probably enjoyed) the successful Country Thunder Florida music fest last month at Osceola Heritage Park, you can already start looking forward to next year's event Oct. 20-22, 2023.

Festival officials announced the upcoming all-star lineup Thursday morning. It features Cody Johnson, HARDY, Keith Urban as headliners, and jam-packed three-day lineup of country music luminaries and up-and-coming acts.

“When you have the world’s greatest country music fans show up the way they did in Florida in 2022, you owe them a follow up of epic proportions,” says Country Thunder Music Festivals CEO, Troy Vollhoffer. “and we’re making that promise with one of the best lineups from start to finish we’ve had in years. We can’t wait to bring Cody Johnson, HARDY, and Keith Urban to the fans in Florida!”

The rest of the three-day stellar lineup also includes Parker McCollum, Kip Moore, Lonestar, Parmalee, Jo Dee Messina, Megan Moroney, Tracy Byrd, Shane Profitt, Hailey Whitters, Josh Ross, & The Reklaws. Vollhoffer said more will be announced.

Urban, two-time CMA Entertainer of the Year, has spent the better part of his life harnessing a deep-seated passion for music.  This, when combined with his authenticity, talent and driving musical inquisitiveness, helps to understand why he is one of the most successful and well-respected artists in the world.  He’s won four GRAMMY© Awards, thirteen CMAs, fifteen ACMs, three AMAs, two People’s Choice Awards and celebrated nine consecutive gold, platinum or multi-platinum albums. His concerts have become legendary - as unpredictable as they are explosive.

Country superstar Cody Johnson joins the lineup fresh off his 2022 Country Music Association award wins for Music Video of the Year & Single of the Year and leading the country genre nominations at the upcoming American Music Awards. With his two-week number one single, “Till You Can’t”, sold out shows across the country, and four billion streams, Johnson has given country music just a little taste of what his loyal fanbase, CoJo Nation was already on to, and we can’t wait to join the club!

Big Loud Records' HARDY has never been just one thing. Uncaging his next chapter on January 20, 2023, HARDY will introduce the mockingbird & THE CROW, his dichotomous, 17-track sophomore album and the follow up to critically acclaimed 2020 debut, A ROCK. HARDY is the reigning ACM Songwriter of the Year, the 2022 BMI Country Songwriter of the Year, and a two-time AIMP Songwriter of the Year, additionally nominated for New Artist of the YearSong of the Year, and Musical Event of the Year at the 2022 CMA Awards. HARDY has co-penned 12 #1 singles since 2018, including his own, double platinum #1 "ONE BEER" feat. Lauren Alaina + Devin Dawson, and most-recent gold #1, "Beers On Me."
