The event takes place in Houston in May 2024
Thomas Rhett, Dierks Bentley, Billy Strings, Dwight Yoakam, Midland, Morgan Wade, and others are set to perform at the inaugural Big As Texas Festival in 2024. The independently-produced country and Americana festival will make its debut at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds outside of Houston, Texas on May 10-12, 2024.
With aspirations as large as the Lone Star State itself, the new three-day outdoor celebration features a world-class music lineup, plus dozens of Texas vendors and artisans alongside custom exhibitions, immersive art installations, live-fire grilling, carnival games, and more for attendees of all ages.
Tickets are on sale now with ten percent of net ticket proceeds going to benefit suicide prevention. Ticketing options include three-day general admission, VIP, and RV and camping.
“Our team’s mission at Big As Texas is to have a positive and substantial economic and cultural impact on Montgomery County and the surrounding region; become one of the most anticipated annual events across the state of Texas while complementing to cultural fabric of our home state; and provide life-saving education and financial support to some of America’s most vulnerable communities that continued to be impacted by suicide,” organizers share.
“To fulfill this final goal, we’ve chosen to launch our three-day festival in one of the fast-growing counties in the country – Montgomery County – which also happens to be facing an unprecedented epidemic with rapidly rising rates of suicide deaths. With an estimated 100+ suicides in America per day, suicide remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States impacting millions of Americans and their families each year, with a growing number of deaths in Texas each year.
“Due to these alarming statistics, we’ve decided to donate ten percent of net proceeds from each individual ticket sold to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that promote suicide death prevention both in Montgomery County and across Texas. Plus, we invite local experts, doctors, therapists, elected officials, and nonprofit organizations to join together each spring and help us make a major impact long after the festival ends on Sunday night.”
Clay Walker, Warren Zeiders, Breland, Alana Springsteen, Maddie & Tae, Tracy Byrd, Anne Wilson, Drake Milligan, Amanda Shires, Kidd G, and more are also on the lineup. The event is dubbed as “Texas’ largest outdoor country music festival.”
