Jake Owen, The Band Perry and Brantley Gilbert Headline Country Summer 2015

Country Summer, Northern California's biggest country music festival, gets even bigger in 2015, featuring three epic days and 14 top country artists June 5 to 7 at Sonoma County Event Center at the Fairgrounds, 1350 Bennett Valley Road.

Superstar headliners include Jake Owen on June 5, The Band Perry on June 6 and Brantley Gilbert on June 7.

In addition to the headliners, to date, the June 5 lineup includes Gary Allan and Chris Young; June 6 includes Lee Brice and Jerrod Niemann; and June 7 includes Trace Adkins.

The remainder of marquee entertainers will be announced soon.

Country Summer is produced by Impact Entertainment and Sonoma Media Group, the owner of Froggy 92.9 and other leading radio stations serving Sonoma County.

"Once again, we're delighted to be bringing such a powerful lineup of country music stars to Sonoma County," Lawrence Amaturo, Sonoma Media Group owner, said. In its inaugural year, beautiful Santa Rosa became the epicenter of country music attracting thousands of fans from across the nation.

In 2015, Country Summer anticipates attracting more than 33,000 fans with more video walls and an enhanced staging and sound. Between main acts on the Montgomery Village Stage, there will be a secondary stage featuring local musicians and groups.

While performances by country music artists are the main attraction, great festivals are more than great music. Country Summer is a destination country celebration with Western-themed attractions, an expanded 2015 Food Court with country-inspired delights and an array of libations from Bud Light for beer drinkers to a wide selection of wine and spirits to please every palate.

"We set the bar high with our success in 2014," Alan Jacoby, executive producer of Impact Entertainment, said. "For Country Summer 2015, we're definitely surpassing fans' expectations."
