Country to Country 2027

C2C: Country To Country

Country To Country Festival returns in March 2027 for three-days of live music across the UK, with a revolving line-up of country music’s biggest stars and most-exciting newcomers travelling between London, Glasgow and, for the first time, Manchester.

Taking place from Friday 12th to Sunday 14th March 2027, this year’s country extravaganza is headlined by first-time C2C bill-toppers Ashley McBryde, Riley Green and Jelly Roll.

Also on the stacked line-up are Cooper Alan, Midland, Cole Swindell, Jackson Dean, Dasha, Chase Matthew, Carter Faith, Emily Ann Roberts, Kashus Culpepper, Blake Whiten, Mack Geiger and Laci Kaye Booth.

Tickets will be available via the C2C 2027 Official Presale, powered by AXS, from 10am on Wednesday 30th September. General sale begins at 10am on Friday 2nd October.

Brittany Schaffer, CMA’s Incoming Chief Executive Officer, says: “Bringing the CMA Spotlight Stage to all three cities this year is a wonderful reflection of C2C’s continued growth and the appetite UK fans have for what’s next in Country music.

“This lineup shows just how global our genre has become, with artists from around the world sharing the stage. As a trade association, CMA works year-round, well beyond our awards show and festival, to support the people who power this industry.

“Part of that work is helping artists build careers beyond the US and supporting our growing community of international industry members, and it’s a joy to see it come to life at C2C.”

Absolute Radio Country will be bringing listeners coverage, interviews and highlights from across the weekend in Manchester.

Ricky Marshall, Head of Content at Absolute Radio Country. says: “C2C Festival coming to Manchester is the next step in celebrating how big country music is becoming in the UK.

“Absolute Radio Country has proudly been a trailblazer for introducing audiences to the genre and we’re delighted to be working with C2C Manchester to showcase the amazing talents of the performers in a city with such a proud live music heritage.”

C2C has also recently announced a new partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library UK. The partnership will raise funds to provide books for young children across the UK.

A donation of £1* for every day ticket, and £2* for every weekend ticket will be added for C2C 2027 with all proceeds going to the Imagination Library UK to provide children aged 0-5 with access to a new, age-appropriate book every month.
