Curated by Tennessee-born country music specialist and radio presenter Baylen Leonard, the event will take over the grounds of Stanford Hall between September 7 and 9. Speaking about the festival, Leonard said:
"Being from Tennessee and having lived in the UK for close to 20 years, I’m thrilled to bring the music and culture of both together in one festival. The dedication and passion of the UK country community is so amazing, we wanted to put together a festival that celebrated the music and lifestyle they love as a thank you to the fans for supporting country music. Whether you're a country fan, an Americana fan, or a fan of great music in general, we wanted a welcoming place where everyone could come together to celebrate. This is a festival for the fans and we’re excited to share it with you."
