Festival organizers announced that Eric Church and HARDY will headline the first Boots On The Bend festival this summer in South Bend, Indiana. The two day event is set for August 14 and 15 at the St. Joseph County Fairgrounds, marking a new addition to the region’s live country music calendar.
The announced lineup also includes Brandon Lake, Flatland Cavalry, Chase Rice, Ashley McBryde, Ella Langley, Treaty Oak Revival, 49 Winchester, Charles Wesley Godwin, Ole 60, and Tucker Wetmore. Organizers said the event is designed to bring a mix of established stars and fast-rising acts to one outdoor setting.
The launch gives fans in northern Indiana a new large-scale country festival at a time when artist-driven events continue to draw strong interest across the genre. Along with the performances, attendees will have access to camping options and hotel packages tied to the weekend.
Ticket sales are expected to begin with an early presale window before general public access. More event details, including pass options and festival information, are expected to roll out closer to the on-sale date.
