C2C Country To Country announces it all
Here we go everyone, the full C2C Country To Country line-up is out and it’s filled in the gaps in excitement levels. As is usually the case the most exciting acts are on the festival stages and playing across the weekend. Yes seeing Lainey (again) is gonna be great, and yes Dierks making his return after so long is extremely exciting, and yes, Cody Johnson is growing in reputation, but now we know exactly how much there is to get the country music juices flowing.
For this update we’ll forget everything already announced and focus on the new stuff.
The Bluebird Cafe
One of the highlights of the weekend are the three rounds of The Bluebird Cafe. This year Saturday morning sees Kashus Culpepper, Lanie Gardner, and Tyler Halverson, of the three Lanie released a lovely record last year so should be a delight. Saturday afternoon sees Kyle Daniel and Zach John King being joined by an unknown third person, Kyle’s got a solid couple of albums behind him so will be a highlight. Finally the Sunday morning show will see country-popper Abby Anderson bring the sunshine, Kaitlin Butts bring the drama and the dark, and Mickey Guyton bring some lightness and depth; it should be a great show.
Festival Stages
In C2C speak the Festival Stages are everything outside the Main Arena and are generally dotted throughout the whole of The O2, from the large BBC Radio 2 Stage to the tiny stage which has changed its name this year.
Some of the acts appearing are already on the Spotlight Stage or the Bluebird Cafe, so the others to check out over the next month are:
