Yeehaw! Arizona’s massive annual country music festival is back for its 30th installation, and it is packed and stacked with a lineup of genre favorites.
Country Thunder Arizona 2026 is a four-day party that takes place April 9-12, 2026. Once again, attending will have you making the trek to Canyon Moon Ranch in Florence to hoot, holler, stomp and engage in whatever boot-scootin’ fun that suits your fancy.
Headliners for this boot-laden, multiday jamboree are Gavin Adcock, Lainey Wilson, Zach Top and Brooks & Dunn.
Currently, tickets, from general admission to an array of VIP choices and packages that accommodate perks like camping and renting a port-a-potty rental are numerous. A big bonus is that you can reserve any choice that suits your needs for only $20 down and pay on a layaway plan.

As much as this party is about country music rocking the stages, there is so much more to keep you entertained. Rides, for one, are prevalent at this western carnival, complete with midway-style games. Food and drinks are also plentiful, offering options for a multitude of tastes. According to a festival statement, it’s the event’s CEO and President, Troy Volhoffer’s, lifetime love of the circus that brings these large-scale fair elements to this festival.
Vendors will be on site, too, offering all kinds of goods and services. Need a custom trim on your western-style hat? Covered. Want to cover some flesh with brand new ink? Yep, that’s an option, too.
The Copperhead Stage is where the spotlight will shine on Arizona artists, and the Singer Songwriter Showcase lets attendees meet the writers behind some of the Main Stage artists’ biggest hits.
If you want to show off your moves, dance competitions and parties abound — make your way to the Electric Thunder attraction for that action. With a name like that, it shouldn’t be hard to find.
