County In The Burg Announces Star-Studded 2026 Lineup After Highly Anticipated Reveal
County In The Burg dropped its much-anticipated 2026 festival lineup today, sending a wave of excitement through Cedarburg and the wider Midwest country community. Known for delivering powerhouse weekends packed with chart-toppers and crowd favorites, the festival has once again curated a lineup that blends modern country energy with timeless talent. This year’s reveal confirms that 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most memorable editions yet.
Friday night will deliver a triple dose of country excellence with Scotty McCreery, Josh Turner, and Rodney Atkins. Each brings a distinct style that has shaped the genre over the past two decades — from McCreery’s relatable, down-to-earth storytelling, to Turner’s iconic baritone, to Atkins’ string of feel-good, radio-dominating hits. Together, they set the tone for a weekend built on strong vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and the kind of performances Cedarburg crowds have come to expect.
Saturday’s lineup brings just as much firepower, headlined by the always electric Brantley Gilbert. He’s joined by platinum-selling hitmaker Mitchell Tenpenny, whose modern blend of pop and country continues to dominate playlists nationwide. The night also marks the long-awaited festival debut of Drake White, who was originally scheduled for the 2025 event before having to withdraw. True to his promise, White is making it up to Cedarburg in 2026 — a gesture that already has longtime fans buzzing.
Unlike many Wisconsin summer festivals that call fairgrounds home, County In The Burg has carved out a unique identity by transforming downtown Cedarburg into an immersive music destination. The charming historic backdrop, paired with the town’s community-first atmosphere, creates a festival experience unlike any other in the region. With local businesses, food vendors, and families all woven into the weekend, the event feels as much like a small-town celebration as it does a major country showcase.
With the lineup now public, anticipation officially begins. Additional announcements about activities, vendors, and community events are expected in the coming months, but today’s reveal confirms one thing: County In The Burg 2026 is set to deliver a powerhouse weekend of country music, Cedarburg charm, and unforgettable summer moments.
