iHeart Country Fest

The iHeart Country Fest is mere days away which means a slew of country music stars are headed to Austin.

And that’s not all, part-time resident Bobby Bones is also back as host of the big show. And now, not only can we call him a radio star, he’s a legit TV star as well. Bones serves as a mentor on the new season of American Idol, currently airing on ABC.

And he’s not the only one with Idol ties who will appear at the fest. Current judge Luke Bryan will perform as well as former judge Keith Urban. Plus, former finalist Lauren Alaina takes part in the free daytime village.

The rest of the daytime performances include Brett Young and Luke Combs (both also appearing on the main stage), Dylan Scott and Danielle Bradbery, who won season 4 of NBC’s The Voice.

Admission to the daytime village is first come first served starting at 1 p.m. through 5 p.m. Performances start at 2 p.m.

In addition to Bryan and Urban, the other country superstars set to hit the main stage are Dustin Lynch, Cole Swindell, Maren Morris, Sugarland, Billy Currington, Dan + Shay and Jon Pardi.

The official festival site still hints that there may be surprise performers as well.
