Country Megaticket in Concert
Back in the mid-2000s, somebody had a brilliant idea. Since summer concert schedules tend to be chock-full of country stars who draw thousands of fans to their concerts, why not make things a little easier on those fans? Why not take a whole batch of those shows and package them together, letting lovers of country music pay a single price for their tickets to all of them? It's cheaper and simpler for the fans, and it’s the sort of thing classical music venues have been doing for eons. So if it's good enough for classical, isn't it good enough for country? Thus was the Country Megaticket born into the world. Every summer, the series brings a different combination of country talent together and gives fans the chance to catch them all as part of the same big musical splurge.
When those Country Megaticket shows started coming around each year, it was like an answer to every country aficionado's dream. And eventually the anticipation would ratchet up, as concertgoers waited to find out which of their favorite singers would be taking part in the next summer's run. The lineup has shifted from year to year, but they've always had one thing in common: Every show would feature a straight-up superstar as the headliner, on a bill filled out by country hitmakers of various levels of renown. In 2017 for instance, you could catch Dierks Bentley supported by Cole Swindell and Jon Pardi, among other bills. In 2018, you might have seen Brad Paisley with Kane Brown and Dan Tyminski. The 2019 offerings included shows like Thomas Rhett with Russell Dickerson, Dustin Lynch and Rhett Akins.
The 2020 lineup features Brad Paisley, Brooks & Dunn, Chris Young, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Lady Antebellum, Luke Bryan, Old Dominion, Rascal Flatts, Sugarland, Thomas Rhett and Tim McGraw. The fact is, if you go crazy for country music, the Megaticket offers an awesome value and a boatload of top-tier talent.
