Jason Aldean and Kane Brown Lead Massive 2026 Hoofbeat Country Fest in Wisconsin
Big-name country stars are officially flocking to Wisconsin in 2026. The state’s concert calendar is quickly filling up, following the earlier announcement that Garth Brooks will kick off Summerfest in Milwaukee that June.
Just a few weeks after Brooks’ show, Jason Aldean and Kane Brown will take the stage as the top-billed acts for the massive Hoofbeat Country Fest in the small village of Cadott, located in Chippewa County. Maybe the two headliners can finally collaborate on a song while they are there!
Hoofbeat Country Fest Dates and Location
The festival will run from Thursday, June 25th to Saturday, June 27th, 2026.
The event takes place at its longtime home in Cadott: 24447 County Highway S. Hoofbeat is renowned for bringing major star power to this quieter corner of Wisconsin every summer.
A Tradition of Music and Camping Since 1987
According to the event’s website, Hoofbeat boasts the title of the “largest 3-Day Country Music and Camping Event in the US,” a tradition running strong since 1987.
Beyond the stellar music lineup, the festival offers fans plenty of “finger-lickin’ food, and barn loads of interactive exhibits” to keep the party going all weekend long.
Festival Promoter Wade Asher emphasized the enduring appeal of the gathering. “Hoofbeat has always been about tradition—friends, family, and music in the hayfield,” says 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.”
With both the Summerfest and Hoofbeat lineups announced, Wisconsin is shaping up to be the ultimate destination for country music fans in the summer of 2026.
