Three Country Concerts Fans Can’t Miss in 2025

As 2025 rolls on, country music fans have a lot to look forward to, and three shows in particular are shaping up as must-see events.

Coming in at number three is Cole Swindell’s Happy Hour Sad Tour. With about a dozen dates still on the calendar, Swindell is bringing his chart-topping hits to fans across the country. One highlight sure to please is his smash “She Had Me at Heads Carolina.” While Thomas Rhett recently put his own spin on the tune alongside rising group The Castellows, Swindell’s performances promise the original, plus much more.

At number two is the annual Stars and Strings showcase. The lineup this year is stacked from top to bottom, with Dierks Bentley headlining and a supporting cast of Zach Top, Dasha, Nate Smith, and Hudson Westbrook. Hosted at Hard Rock Live in Fort Lauderdale, the event is expected to draw fans from across the Southeast for an evening of pure country energy.

Finally, topping the list is Chris Stapleton. Known for his heartfelt lyrics, powerhouse vocals, and guitar mastery, Stapleton continues to prove why he is one of country music’s most respected artists. With only a handful of chances left to catch him live this year, his shows are quickly becoming the hottest tickets in the genre.
