On Tuesday, Trackside Music Festival announced their full 2018 lineup... and it's a good one. The two-day festival, scheduled for the Canada Day weekend (June 30 & July 1) is bringing a dozen exciting country music acts to the stage, and it should be one hell of a party.
There is a disclaimer to add that this is the main stage lineup, so there's still a chance that more artists will be announced for secondary performances, but now we have a clear look at what's going to make Trackside 2018 special in London, ON.
At two days and 12 artists, Trackside may not be the biggest festival on the circuit, but the combination of Canada Day weekend, a great crowd, and talented and entertaining artists on stage will make this weekend in London a beauty!
Trackside Music Festival 2018 Lineup
London, Ontario
Saturday, June 30, 2018
Dierks Bentley
There shouldn't be much we have to say to get country music fans excited to see Dierks Bentley on stage.
However, we'll say this...
1) Bentley has new music coming in 2018, so there will be new songs and energy for him to add to his live show.
2) There are more hits and fan favourites in his library than he can fit in a show, which means that some people will leave without hearing their personal favourite Dierks Bentley song, but nobody will leave without hearing a set full of hits.
3) Dierks is a maniac on stage. We've seen it, lived it, and loved it.
Dean Brody
If you wanted to bet on something, you could bet that Dean Brody is going to bring down the house when he hits the main stage at Trackside. This Canadian superstar has songs and stories to share - and he's great in front of the crowd.
If you've seen him before you know it will be good. If you haven't seen him before, you should.
LANCO
These five dudes are big time up and comers in country music, and 2018 could be a HUGE year for them. Trackside fans should be ready for a lot of energy as LANCO continues their quest to gain fans everywhere they go - including their stops with Bentley on the Mountain High Tour.
Emerson Drive
These Canadian stars have been playing stages all over for years, and they haven't lost a step. Emerson Drive will bring a list of hits and fan favourites that will have the Trackside crowd singing along, dancing, and having a great time!
Eric Ethridge
Ethridge has been putting in work to take his career to the next level. And with an energetic show, radio singles to sing with the crowd, and an effort to win some new fans, we're sure this one will be fun!
Julia Haggarty
This London, ON native will be in a mood to party with her hometown at Trackside! Julia Haggarty brings a powerful voice and a solid selection of songs to the stage with her, and will be a great way to start the weekend.
Trackside Lineup - Sunday, July 1, 2018
Dustin Lynch
We've heard a lot of great things about Dustin Lynch live on stage, and we can't wait to see it. With hits and momentum and fan love, Canada Day is going to close with a bang!
Tim Hicks
He'll bring the thunder and stronger beer to the party, and we have no doubt that the London crowd will blow up for Tim Hicks. This guy knows how to get everyone involved and fired up, and it's going to be good!
Chase Rice
Chase Rice 's career is blooming and his star keeps rising... and when he comes to Trackside, it's going to get loud. Be ready for a good time!
Jojo Mason
2017 CCMA Rising Star nominee Jojo Mason is a blast on stage. He's got hits and fan favourites from Both Sides Of The Bar, he kills some surprise covers, and there's new music on the way. Good dude, good music, good fun.
Midnight Shine
We caught Midnight Shine on the fabled Horseshoe Tavern stage during Canadian Music Week 2017, and have no doubts that they can hit the Trackside stage and entertain the crowd!
Runaway Angel
Cadence, Ann, and Stacey will play Trackside and share tracks from Runaway Angel's first and second albums ( No End In Sight, Zero) and we know that they'll facilitate the country music party atmosphere. Enjoy!
