The Barefoot Country Music Fest promised a major artist announcement this morning, and we would have to say that they delivered:
A double-shot reveal saw Trace Adkins and LANCO added to the line-up of the three-day festival, which will take over the Wildwood Beach from Friday, June 19 to Sunday, June 21.
They will join previously-announced headliners Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton and Dan + Shay, along with Billy Currington, Jimmie Allen, Colt Ford, Filmore, High Valley and more, with a total of 30+ artists set to perform.
Safe to say, this is shaping up to be a momentous weekend - not just the biggest country festival, but the largest concert event in Wildwood history!
Adkins, one of the most colorful and endearingly-popular artists in country music, has been a hit-producing machine since he burst on the scene in 1996. The towering Louisiana native, known for his trademark baritone, has produced 10 studio albums and two greatest hits compilations.
His long list of hits includes 'You're Gonna Miss This,' 'Ladies Love Country Boys,' 'Songs About Me,' 'Every Light In The House,' 'Hillbilly Bone' (with Blake Shelton), 'Just Fishin' and 'Lit.'
Adkins is also noted for his many charitable endeavors and business acumen. He made two appearances on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice, winning the competition in 2013.
LANCO, meanwhile, perfectly fits the festival's bill as one of the top "up and coming" bands in country music today.
Founded in 2015, the group consists of Brandon Lancaster on vocals (LANCO is short for "Lancaster & Company), Chandler Baldwin on bass guitar, Jared Hampton on keyboards, Tripp Howell on drums and Eric Steedly on guitar.
LANCO's debut album, Hallelujah Nights, was released in early 2018. It features single hits 'Born to Love You,' 'Long Live Tonight,' and 'Greatest Love Story,' which reached No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts at the end of 2017.
