Sunfest announces final headliners joining Keith Urban at 2024 festival

Sunfest Country Music Festival has announced the final headliners joining their main headliner, Keith Urban, at the 2024 event in the Cowichan Valley.

On BC Day Long Weekend, country music lovers will gather for four days of top performances at Laketown Ranch.

“Designed to appeal to music lovers of all ages, the 2024 Sunfest Country Music Festival lineup features some of country music’s biggest acts from across North America,” festival organizers said.

That will include Washboard Union, Lee Brice, Cole Swindell, Steven Lee Olsen, Josh Ross and The Reklaws.

Sunfest announced this past summer that Urban would headline in 2024. Keith Urban’s 24 number one hits, including “Wasted Time”, “Blue Ain’t Your Color“, ”Somebody Like You” and “The Fighter” promise to make next year's festival an unforgettable experience. This will be his first visit to the Island since 2015. He is set to take the stage on Friday, Aug. 2, 2024.

Also performing on the main stage on Friday is Canadian Grammy nominee, Steven Lee Olsen, who is “among this generation's most promising and exciting country singer-songwriters.”

Lee Brice is a Grammy-nominated musician with multiple platinum-selling albums and a string of number one singles. Brice will headline on Saturday. Support will be provided by Ontario native and multi-CCMA nominee, Josh Ross.

On Sunday, ACMA winning songwriter and singer Cole Swindell will headline. Swindell’s songwriting credentials include singles for Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Craig Campbell and others, as well releasing an impressive string of number one hits to his own credit. Also on Sunday, The Reklaws, Ontario’s superstar sibling country music duo will light up the Sunfest stage.

Thursday August 1st will start the long weekend with a kick-off party on the Lakenight Stage, featuring Vancouver’s own multi-award winning, harmonic country trio, The Washboard Union.

Festival attendees can expect three stages, a festival village with food, vendors, activities and full service bars, a VIP area, flush toilets, showers and more.
