The Long Road Festival, the UK’s premier country music event, has revealed its first lineup for its seventh edition, featuring Nashville star Russell Dickerson as the main stage headliner on Saturday night.

Dickerson, who is nominated for the ACM New Male Artist of the Year award, is expected to perform his hit songs “Yours”, “Blue Tacoma”, “God Gave Me a Girl” and “Love You Like I Used To” at the festival, which will take place from August 23-25 at Stanford Hall in Leicestershire.
He will be joined by a stellar lineup of artists across five stages, including Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat, southern rock band Red Clay Strays, alt-country band American Aquarium, and rising star Brittney Spencer.
The festival will also feature a special treat for weekend ticket holders, as New Orleans trio Chapel Hart will headline the main stage on Friday night. The sisters, who have been featured on the Today Show, Billboard, and The Kelly Clarkson Show, will showcase their harmonies, charisma, and sass with songs like “Jesus & Alcohol”, “You Can Have Him Jolene”, and “I Will Follow”.

Commenting on today’s announcement, TLR’s Tennessee-born Creative Director Baylen Leonard said, “We couldn’t be happier with how this year’s line up is shaping up, and can’t wait to welcome this growing community home to The Long Road again this August, after last year’s sell out. The countdown to TLR 5 begins!”
The Long Road Festival, which celebrates the diverse and vibrant culture of country music, will also offer a range of festival activities, such as workshops, talks, food stalls, and camping options. Tickets are on sale now, and more information can be found on our Long Road Festival page.
