Brantley Gilbert joins country music festival lineup
GLENMOORE >> Country music superstar Brantley Gilbert will join Dierks Bentley and Chris Young to headline the third annual Citadel Country Spirit USA, a three-day country music festival coming to Chester County Aug. 28-30.
The festival will again be held at Ludwig’s Corner Horse Show Grounds off Route 100.
Brantley Gilbert, who made his bones as a professional songwriter, moved into the big leagues with his “Just as I Am” album in 2014 and has gained notoriety ever since.
Distinguished by a newfashioned style of traditional country, his music is rooted in the countrypop and arena music fusions of the 90s, receptive to sly, modern R&B as well as electronic flair.
Recently, he followed up his No. 1 single, “What Happen in a Small Town,” with the release of “Fire’t Up” from his No. 1 album, “Fire & Brimstone.”
Heralded as a Great American Festival Experience, Citadel Country Spirit USA will feature 20 country music acts performing nearly 30 hours of live music on two stages — 14 nationally recognized artists on the GMC Sierra Stage and popular up-and-comers on the Citadel Rising Star Stage. WXTU is the festival’s media partner.
Citadel Country Spirit USA’s three-day schedule and remainder of the lineup will be announced at a later date.
While music is the main attraction, attendees are treated to a celebration with like-minded country music fans, an array of activities and fanfare, a wide selection of food vendors, restaurants, libation establishments and lounges for socializing and having fun.
Hosted by the Chester County Conference &
Visitors Bureau, approximately 20,000 fans from across the country attended the festival in August 2019.
