The TODAY Show just announced the lineup for it’s annual Summer Concert Series, and it is STACKED. Dierks Bentley, Shawn Mendes, DNCE & more will all hit the Rockefeller Center stage this Summer. If you’re in NYC, you can watch the show in person! Head over to the TODAY Show concert site for all the info. We suggest showing up no later than 5am as there is usually a crowd. Also make sure you sign up for the mailing list so you can get info on the Fan Pass. A Fan Pass is awesome and gets you first entry into the show. All concerts take place from 7am to 9am and most likely you’ll get to watch the artist soundcheck as well!

After months of counting down, it’s real y’all! FarmBorough Festival is here! We’ve already previewed days 1 and 2 of the festival, now it’s time to look at which artists are a must-see on Sunday.
1. The Railers – Next From Nashville Stage – 3:40pm We’ve been lucky to catch The Railers at a couple of shows with Hunter Hayes. They are one of our top artists to watch, with their gift for musicianship and chilling harmonies. Their live show is not to be missed!
2. Lindsey Ell – Main Stage – 3:30pm She’s often referred to as “the female Keith Urban” and we’ve heard nothing but high praise for her guitar skills.
3. Logan Mize – Next From Nashville Stage – 5:35pm You won’t be able to get away from a Good Time during Logan’s set!
4. Cassadee Pope – Main Stage – 4:40pm Make sure you stick around for this set from the former Voice champion and see how she blends a little pop punk with her southern roots!
5. Luke Bryan – Main Stage – 9:10pm
What better way to end the festival than shaking it in the city with Luke Bryan? Shake it for the big rats running down deep on the tracks / For the pigeons and the bankers and the squirrels / Shake it to the Bronx, shake it for me girl / City girl shake it for me now
We are T-minus 36 days away from FarmBorough Festival, New York’s first country music festival, and what is sure to be one of the most memorable weekends of the Summer! The Festival just released the full lineup and schedule, so you’ll have plenty of time to plot which sets you’d like to catch. Canaan Smith will kick off the festivities first on the Main Stage Friday afternoon, while Luke Bryan will have you singing “I Don’t Want This Night To End” when he closes the fest Sunday night.
In between, we can’t wait to catch Dierks Bentley, Kip Moore, The Railers, The Cadillac Three, Chris Stapleton, Logan Mize, Mickey Guyton, Maddie & Tae, Charlie Worsham, and more. Visit FarmBoroughFestival.com for the full schedule and get ready for when NYC Goes Country!

In between sets, or when you need a break from it all, FarmBorough will have plenty of other activities! Everything from a giant slide to an epic burger cook off, and even a beach house! You’ll find us in the “Festival Fare” section, with some of our favorite eats from Luke’s Lobster and Handsome Hanks.
It’s shaping up to be a very good Summer for country music fans! We’ve got new albums on the way from Kacey Musgraves, Canaan Smith, A Thousand Horses… and now Luke Bryan just announced his latest, “Kill The Lights” will be released on August 7th! Luke also premiered his new single, the namesake of his Summer Tour, “Kick The Dust Up” today. Listen to the track below! We think we’ve got another contender for Song of the Summer.
Pickup a copy of the single on iTunes now! Visit LukeBryan.com for upcoming tour dates including Dustin Lynch and Randy Houser. Thomas Rhett and Florida Georgia Line will join in the fun on select stadium shows!
