PENDLETON – Pendleton Whisky Music Fest is a go for July 10, and it’s more than a little bit country. Toby Keith will headline the summer event at the Pendleton Round-Up Grounds. The Songwriters Hall of Fame Inductee and two-time ACM Entertainer of the Year will be joined on the marquee by county music’s Clare Dunn, Clay Walker, and Cole Swindell.
The four country music stars continue the legacy of top-tier entertainment to appear at the annual festival as it enters its fifth year. The new line-up for this year replaces the original headlining artist Eric Church and Macklemore who will now perform at the 2022 event.
This year’s Pendleton Whisky Music Fest kicks off as usual with a party in downtown Pendleton on Friday night. Kurt Van Meter, Precious Bird, and DJ Sovern-T will perform downtown. This year’s main event will have a reduced capacity of 12,000 fans. Title sponsor Pendleton Whisky will provide face masks for all who attend the Saturday event, if they choose to wear them. The festival will follow all recommended health and safety guidelines.
Those who purchased tickets and camping packages for the 2020 Music Fest will have their tickets honored for the July 9, 2022 event. No action is required. Ticket holders who can’t attend next year can have a full refund. Those current ticket holders can also purchase tickets for the 2021 concert Thursday, June 3.
Tickets for the 2021 line-up will go on sale to the general public on Friday, June 4. People can stay informed for both the 2021 and 2022 events at www.pendletonwhiskymusicfest.com.
