Your Country Thunder Arizona 2025 guide: tickets, set times and more

Dust off your boots, y’all, and get ready to party. Arizona's biggest country music event of the year is this weekend, and thousands of local cowboys and cowgirls will be in attendance.

Country Thunder Arizona 2025 takes place from Thursday through Saturday on the grounds of Canyon Moon Ranch in Florence. The four-day music festival attracts an estimated 30,000 people each day, including a huge number of party animals.

If you’re just there for the tunes, this year’s headliners include such superstar recording artists as Keith Urban, HARDY, Riley Green and Bailey Zimmerman. If you're in it for the party, Country Thunder is equally notorious for its rowdy, anything-goes campground scene.
