Morgan Wallen, Blake Shelton, Florida Georgia Line and Riley Green will headline Country Thunder Arizona when the four-day festival returns to Canyon Moon Ranch near Florence from Thursday, April 7 to Sunday, April 10.

When the festival was last in Arizona in October 2021, it brought in an average of 36,000 people a day, including fans, staff, law enforcemen­t, press and vendors.

If you’ve never been to Country Thunder and you’re wondering what the parking situation there is like, a lot of that comes down to whether you intend on camping there or driving to and from the festival.

Parking passes may be purchased at the Country Thunder website.
