The Windy City is about to get blown away by the star-studded lineup for the third annual Country LakeShake Festival.

Announced today, the three-day, two-stage festival will feature country megastars Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts, Thomas Rhett, Little Big Town, as well as Lauren Alaina, Gary Allan, Big and Rich, Brothers Osborne, Craig Campbell, Dan + Shay, High Valley, Randy Houser, Mo Pitney, Michael Ray, Chase Rice, The Cadillac Three and William Michael Morgan, with more to be announced soon.

“I’m from Chicago, and hopefully that means I know a bit about what the people of the city want from this festival,” said Brian O’Connell, President of Country Touring at Live Nation. “We’re in our third year now and so it’s a big year for us really becoming an annual event, and I think we have a really great, current lineup of the hottest acts in the genre right now to help us do that. We’re also committed to making Country LakeShake an experience, not just a regular show, and so we’ve ramped up the activities onsite so pass holders can fully enjoy the amazing surroundings.”

In addition to the many superstar acts taking the stage, the festival will give fans a well-rounded experience with the return of the popular Blackhawks Bar, as well as new offerings, like silent disco line dancing, a wine lounge, food trucks, a kids zone, putt-putt, and much more.

The 2017 Country LakeShake Festival will take place June 23-25 at Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island (formerly FirstMerit Bank Pavilion). Three-Day and Single-Day tickets will go on sale beginning Feb. 3 at 10am CT.
