Saturday, July 10
After a long night of doing the hoedown throwdown, we encourage everyone to get a second wind because Saturday has a star-studded lineup that will make up for the lost time we experienced.
Before you head to the stage, take an ice cube shot of tequila at the Federales pop-up and do your best pitcher throw at the legendary bell, and don’t forget to send your videos over to @CS_Country to be featured on our social media.
3:00 PM: Nashville-based artist Angie K will be bringing the heat at 3 PM. Angie is known for her time on NBC’s hit TV Show, The Voice. During her time on the popular vocal completion, she had the opportunity to learn from country music legend Blake Shelton. After the world fell in love with her incredible sound, she hit the road to open for Tanya Tucker, Jake Owen, Trace Adkins, Chris Janson, Sammy Kershaw, Jordan Davis, and more! Country music fans could expect to hear tunes off of her five successful albums.
4:15 PM: Does the name Ross Ellis ring a bell? Well, you may recognize the name because he is the powerful songwriter behind the chart-topping Tm McGraw hit “Neon Church.” However, he quickly put his name on the map with his own material! In fact, he became Sirius CM’s “Highway Find” with his first single called “Home for the Weekend.” Recently, the rising star gained traction and positive praise for his chilling single “Ghosts,” which became the top 10 most played song on The Highway. Ellis is currently touring with leading names in the industry – Brett Young, Chase Rice, Raelynn, and Eli Young Band.
5:30 PM: If you don’t consider yourself and country music fanatic, don’t sweat it! Cody Canada & The Departed will be introducing Chicagoans to a new genre of music that might surprise festival-goers. The American Rock/alt-country group is set to deliver toe-tapping melodies and hip-shaking beats.

7:00 PM: After eating your body weight in mouthwatering barbecue, head on over to the stage to sing along to one of Nashville’s rising stars. The singer and songwriter behind “There Was This Girl,” Riley Green, is set to bring down the house Friday night, and Celeb Secrets Country will be up close and personal to document the entire live performance! It was just last year when the blue-eyed heartthrob received the title of “New Male Artist of The Year” at the 2020 ACM Awards. Since then, the breakthrough star hit the road with Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley, and Jon Pardi. Come August 13, Green will join Dierks Bentley’s Beer on Me Tour.
8:30 PM: Dierks Bentley is set to headline Saturday night at 8:30 PM! The award-winning artist known for dominating country radio will be sharing his honky-tonk hits with the Chicagoland area. His music has earned him prestigious accolades throughout the years – countless nominations from the ACMS, CMAs, Billboard Music Awards, and even 14 GRAMMY nominations.
