Big-name country stars are flocking to Wisconsin in 2026. Earlier this month, we shared the news that Garth Brooks was kicking off Summerfest in Milwaukee in June. A few weeks later, Jason Aldean and Kane Brown will lead the lineup at Hoofbeat Country Fest in the small village of Cadott, located in Chippewa County. Maybe they can finally work together on a song while they are there.

The festival will take place from June 25-27, 2026, at 24447 County Highway S in Cadott.
According to the event website, the "largest 3-Day Country Music and Camping Event in the US" has been around since 1987. In addition to the music, it will also feature plenty of "finger-lickin' food, and barn loads of interactive exhibits."
"Hoofbeat has always been about tradition—friends, family, and music in the hayfield," says Festival Promoter Wade Asher. "Year after year, our loyal fans return, and new fans join the party. This lineup carries that spirit forward, honoring the roots of country while celebrating the next wave of artists our fans will be talking about for years."
