About WE Fest
The event that's been at the pinnacle of country music festivals for nearly four decades, WE Fest returns Aug. 1-3 to the Soo Pass Ranch in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. With Chris Stapleton, Keith Urban, Brooks & Dunn, and many more artists all set to take the stage, the 37th annual edition will surely exceed even the highest expectations of the more than 150,000 country fans who come to the festival from across America and all around the world.
The best artists in country music treasure their experience at WE Fest just as much as their fans do. Every year, the festival is proud to present 20 of the biggest names in the business, all playing to some of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences they've ever seen. The 2018 mainstage headliners were Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, and Florida Georgia Line. They join an incredible list of past performers including Big & Rich, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Merle Haggard, and Alabama, the first-ever headliner back in 1983.
This year's slate of headliners more than matches the standard set by past editions of the WE Fest. Topping the nightly bills are hit songwriter turned hard-edged roots sensation Chris Stapleton, multi-platinum favorite Keith Urban, and country music's preeminent duo Brooks & Dunn. Two hugely successful singer-songwriters, Billy Currington and Jake Owen, add more star power to WE Fest's unbeatable roster of country music legends and exciting new talents.
