In a stunning announcement that has sent ripples through the music community, The Long Road Festival has confirmed that the sensational Dasha will be headlining the event on Sunday, taking center stage on the Interstate. This move is seen as a significant concert coup for the festival, which is already renowned for its eclectic mix of Country, Americana, and Roots music.
Dasha, the California singer-songwriter who has been making waves with her viral hit single ‘Austin‘, is set to bring her unique blend of music to the UK-based country and Americana extravaganza. The festival, scheduled to take place at Stanford Hall, Leicestershire from August 23-25, is gearing up for what promises to be an unforgettable weekend.
The ‘King of California’ crooner’s addition to the lineup has been met with great enthusiasm, especially following her recent high-profile performances, including a blockbuster appearance at the Nissan Stadium as part of CMA Fest 2024. Fans are particularly excited to hear live renditions of ‘Austin’, which marked Dasha’s first Billboard Hot 100 entry earlier this year and led to her debut UK Country Radio Airplay No. 1 in April.
With her sophomore project ‘What Happens Now?’ released in February 2024, and a new album on the horizon, Dasha’s performance at The Long Road is highly anticipated. It’s expected that she might even tease new music from her upcoming record during her set, adding to the already palpable excitement.
The Long Road Festival has established itself as a cornerstone event for country music lovers in the UK since its inception in 2018. It has consistently provided memorable performances from a host of artists, and this year’s lineup is no exception. Alongside Dasha, the festival will feature a stellar array of talent, including Russell Dickerson, The Red Clay Strays, American Aquarium, Don McLean, Chapel Hart, Paula Cole, and many more.
As the festival approaches, tickets are expected to sell out quickly, with fans eager to witness what is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about performances of the year. Dasha’s headline act on the Interstate stage is not just a testament to her rising star but also to The Long Road’s commitment to bringing the best of country and Americana music to its audience.
