Summer may seem lightyears away, but Country LakeShake is already anticipating one of the best seasons yet with the announcement of the festival lineup to include Dierks Bentley, Blake Shelton, Florida Georgia Line and many other country artists next year.

Known as one of the hottest country music events throughout the festival season, Chicago plays host to the three-day concert fest where some of the biggest names in the genre headline and the up-and-comers get the crowd pumped for what’s to come. Joining Bentley, Shelton and FGL on the lineup will be Cole Swindell, Lee Brice and Billy Currington.

Smaller stages will hold sets for other festival acts like Jillian Jacqueline, Russell Dickerson, Chris Lane, Tracy Lawrence, LoCash, RaeLynn, Runaway June, Dylan Scott and Jackie Lee. Additional country artists will be announced closer to the event’s scheduled dates.

Although many festivals encourage country music fans to come out and witness a plethora of their favorite stars rock the stages set up around the field, Country LakeShake provides a setting like none other with Lake Michigan as one part of the backdrop and the Chicago city skyline highlighting the other side of the venue.

Chicago’s Country LakeShake will be held June 22-24, with tickets going on sale for the festival starting on December 8 at 10 a.m. CST through the LakeShake website.
