Hey there, country music fans! Get ready to dust off your cowboy boots and grab your hats because Colorado’s biggest country music festival, Country Jam, just dropped its 2025 lineup—and it’s a doozy. Set for June 26-28 at the Jam Ranch in Mack, just outside Grand Junction, this year’s event is shaping up to be one for the books. Headliners Luke Bryan, Cody Johnson, and Bailey Zimmerman are leading the charge, with a stacked roster of talent joining them under the Colorado sun. Whether you’re a die-hard country fan or just looking for a good time, this festival’s got something for everyone. Let’s dive into what’s in store for Country Jam 2025!
A Star-Studded Lineup That’ll Knock Your Boots Off
First things first, let’s talk about those headliners. Luke Bryan, Cody Johnson, and Bailey Zimmerman are three of the hottest names in country music right now, and they’re all converging on Colorado’s Western Slope for three nights of pure country goodness. Luke Bryan’s no stranger to the spotlight—he’s a five-time Entertainer of the Year winner from both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. With hits like “Country Girl (Shake It for Me)” and “Play It Again,” plus his gig as an “American Idol” judge since 2018, Bryan knows how to work a crowd. He last played Country Jam in 2019, and fans are buzzing to see him back on that stage.
Then there’s Cody Johnson, the Texas cowboy who’s bringing real-deal country vibes to the festival. Known for sticking to his roots with songs like “Til You Can’t” and “The Painter,” Johnson’s got a loyal fanbase— affectionately called CoJo Nation—that’s sure to turn out in droves. He’s fresh off five CMA Award nominations in 2024, including Male Vocalist of the Year, and he’s no stranger to Colorado either, having rocked Country Jam in 2023 and the Las Colonias Amphitheater in 2022. This guy’s the real deal, and his set’s gonna be one to watch.
Rounding out the headliners is Bailey Zimmerman, the 24-year-old rising star who’s making his headlining debut at Country Jam. You might know him from his monster hit “Rock and a Hard Place” or his record-breaking debut album Religiously. Zimmerman’s got a raw, emotional sound that’s been lighting up the charts, and he’s already got four No. 1 hits under his belt. He’s played the festival before, but stepping up to headliner status in 2025 is a big moment for him—and for fans who love discovering new talent.
More Than Just Headliners
But Country Jam isn’t just about the big names. The 2025 lineup is packed with over 15 acts, bringing a mix of legends, fan favorites, and up-and-comers to the stage. Tracy Lawrence is one to watch—he’s been a staple in country music for decades with hits like “Time Marches On,” and he’ll even host his “Honky Tonkin’ with Tracy Lawrence” show during the fest. Then there’s Cooper Alan, whose viral TikTok covers and originals like “New Normal” have made him a fresh face to cheer for. Flatland Cavalry’s bringing their Texas Red Dirt sound, while Ashley Cooke adds a modern twist with her heartfelt songwriting.
Nostalgia fans, you’re in luck too—Diamond Rio and Rodney Atkins are on the bill, promising throwback vibes with classics like “Meet in the Middle” and “Watching You.” Billy Dean’s smooth voice will take you back to the ‘90s, and Josh Ross is ready to keep the energy up with his gritty style. The lineup also features newcomers like Bayker Blankenship, Timothy Wayne, Owen Riegling, and Mae Estes, giving you a chance to catch the next big thing before they blow up. It’s a perfect blend of old-school and new-school country, all set against Colorado’s stunning red rock backdrop.
Why Country Jam’s a Colorado Must-Do
If you’ve never been to Country Jam, let me paint the picture for you. It’s not just a concert—it’s a full-on experience. Held at Jam Ranch in Mack, about 260 miles west of Denver, this festival’s been a Colorado tradition for 33 years. Picture this: thousands of fans camping out under the stars, the smell of barbecue in the air, and the sound of steel guitars echoing off the mesa. It’s the kind of place where you can kick back with friends, make new ones, and soak up some of the best live music around.
The festival runs Thursday through Saturday, June 26-28, and it’s got options for everyone. Want to rough it? Grab a tent and camp onsite. Prefer a little more comfort? RV spots are available too. There’s even VIP packages if you’re looking to go all out with perks like private acoustic shows, food and drinks, and prime parking. Tickets start at $109 for a single day (for a limited time), and there’s a new one-day bundle that throws in parking and pit access. It’s all designed to make your weekend as easy and fun as possible.
What to Expect in 2025
So, what’s the vibe gonna be like at Country Jam 2025? Based on past years, you can bet on a mix of high-energy performances, laid-back hangs, and that unbeatable Colorado summer feel. The headliners will likely each take a night—say, Cody Johnson kicking things off on Thursday, Bailey Zimmerman heating up Friday, and Luke Bryan closing out Saturday with a bang. The rest of the acts will fill out the days, with multiple stages keeping the music going from afternoon to night.
Last year’s fest featured heavy hitters like Thomas Rhett, Jelly Roll, and Parker McCollum, so you know the organizers don’t mess around when it comes to booking talent. The 2025 lineup promises more of that same magic, with a little something for every kind of country fan. Whether you’re into honky-tonk throwbacks, modern chart-toppers, or the raw sound of the next generation, you’ll find it here.
Tips for Making the Most of Country Jam
Planning to go? Here’s a quick rundown to help you prep. First, snag your tickets early—they go on sale Friday, September 27, at 9 a.m. MT on CountryJam.com, and the good ones (like VIP and camping passes) tend to sell out fast. Second, pack smart—think sunscreen, a hat, comfy shoes, and layers for those cool Colorado nights. If you’re camping, bring a cooler for snacks and drinks (check the rules on what’s allowed), and don’t forget a chair for chilling between sets.
Getting there’s a breeze too—Jam Ranch is right off I-70 at exit 11, so it’s an easy drive from Denver or wherever you’re coming from. Just keep an eye on traffic, especially heading out of Grand Junction, and give yourself plenty of time to settle in. Oh, and pro tip: follow Country Jam on social media for updates—they’ve been known to drop surprises like bonus acts or schedule changes.
Why This Lineup’s Got Everyone Talking
Let’s be real—this lineup’s got buzz for a reason. Luke Bryan’s a household name who brings the party, Cody Johnson’s the authentic cowboy keeping country true, and Bailey Zimmerman’s the young gun shaking things up. Throw in legends like Diamond Rio and fresh faces like Mae Estes, and you’ve got a recipe for a weekend that’ll have folks talking all year. It’s not just about the music either—it’s the whole vibe of Country Jam, from the fans to the setting to the way it captures that Colorado spirit.
