Just as the chill of autumn settles on the Chippewa Valley, Country Fest has unveiled a hot, star-studded lineup for next June: Headliners for the three-day festival outside Cadott will be Zac Brown Band, Dan + Shay, and Jon Pardi, organizers announced Tuesday.

Other top acts among the 50-plus bands scheduled to perform June 22-24 include Billy Currington, Brett Eldredge, and Russell Dickerson.

“Fans can look forward to the same organized festival they love, but with a new overall theme in 2023,” festival promoter and General Manager Wade Asher said. “If you grew up in Wisconsin, Friday nights likely found you in a friend’s field cheersing to the summer ahead. A grown-up version of a coming-of-age tradition, we’ll pay homage to our roots through a variety of Wisconsin-themed activations and experiences. We can’t wait to reunite with our Fest Family at the country’s largest party in a hayfield … and show out-of-towners what it means to ‘party like a Sconnie.’ ”

Here’s the rest of the lineup announced Tuesday:

Thursday, June 22: Jon Pardi, Russell Dickerson, Joe Nichols, Pam Tillis, Elvie Shane, Kidd G, Matt Koziol, Chris Colston, and more.

Friday, June 23: Dan + Shay, Brett Eldredge, Sammy Kershaw, Larry Fleet, Cooper Alan, Jackson Dean, Alexandra Kay, Tanner Adell, and more.

Saturday, June 24: Zac Brown Band, Billy Currington, Ernest, Mark Chesnutt, Ingrid Andress, Breland, Caroline Jones, Lauren Watkins, and more.

Wednesday, June 21 (Tailgate Party exclusive to 3-day ticket holders): Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jake Worthington, Frankie Justin, and Nathan King Band.
