Randall's Island will be the site of FarmBorough, New York City's first-ever country music festival. The all-star event is set for June 26-June 28, 2015.
Dierks Bently, Luke Bryan and Brad Paisley are at the top of the festival's marquee. Other artists already signed for the three-day festival are Wade Bowen, Brandy Clark, Maddie & Tae, Kip Moore, Ashley Monroe, Randy Houser, The Cadillac Three and Dwight Yoakam. More performers will be announced over the coming weeks.
The festival is a joint venture between Live Nation Entertainment and Founders Entertainment. FarmBorough comes from the creators of premier country music festivals Watershed, Faster Horses and Route 91 Harvest, in partnership with Founders Entertainment, producers of the ever-popular Governors Ball Music Festival.
"We've been dreaming about bringing a country festival to New York for a long time, and we feel like the time is right now. We have the perfect partner in Founders and the perfect location on Randall's Island to really bring fans and artists something special," said Brian O'Connell, Live Nation president of Country Touring. "New York City is a global destination. Country fans from all over the world can come to the city and take advantage of all it has to offer, while enjoying three days of the best country music acts too."
Three-day passes start at $225 (plus applicable service charges and fees) and go on sale Thursday (Nov. 6) at 10 a.m. EST. Fans will also have the option to upgrade to VIP three-day packages with access to Skyline Lounge featuring skyline views, private bars and more.
