Sunfest Concerts is busy preparing for its 10th anniversary and has just confirmed that Dierks Bentley, Chris Young and Charlie Daniels will be headlining at the 2012 festival this summer! Historically, Sunfest has been a three day festival, however, due to its tremendous growth and popularity over the last two years, Sunfest Concerts will now be offering a jam packed four-day event with an incredible artist lineup. To accommodate the additional day, Sunfest has moved its festival to August 2-5 and Early bird tickets are available by clicking the above "Tickets Buy Now" button. They will make a great Christmas gift and with the addition of a payment plan, those who wish to purchase them over several months can do so according to their budget.
Dierks Bentley is a Nashville-based American Country Award winning artist with sixteen singles on the country singles charts and eight No.1 hits to his credit, including "Sideways", "Feel That Fire" and "Free and Easy." Bentley's seventh studio album Home is scheduled for release in early 2012, leading with the No.1 hit single, "Am I the Only One."
Chris Young is country music's next big act. He is hotter than a comet right now and just secured his place amongst the industry's top performers with two huge wins at the December 5 American Country Awards where he was awarded Breakthrough Artist and Single of the Year for the No.1 smash hit "Voices." His current album, Neon, which was released last summer has garnered Young his fourth straight No.1 hit with "Tomorrow", while his current single "You" is flying up the charts.
Charlie Daniels is no stranger to country music fans. He is widely acknowledged for his contributions to country music as well as southern rock and is best known for his Grammy award-winning hit, "Devil Went Down to Georgia". Other hits include "Simple Man", "Drinkin' My baby Goodbye" and "Million Mile Reflections."
Fans of the festival will notice many changes in 2012, the most notable being a new and permanent stage that will provide opportunity for added concerts throughout the year at the Cowichan Exhibition grounds. Wideglide Entertainment has been busy expanding the grounds of the natural amphitheater, allowing for an additional five hundred camping spaces and a significant increase in seating. Prices this year reflect the increase in infrastructure as well as an added day of entertainment, camping, security and services.
Along with the additional day of entertainment, festival goers will get to enjoy a boon of on-site activities, contests and a Battle of the Bands. More information regarding band submissions will be released in the near future and news updates will be available here on a regular basis. Interested ticket buyers are encouraged to purchase tickets early and visit us often to keep abreast of Sunfest events and contests. Also, watch for the Sunfest 2012 Ultimate Fan Contest on Facebook.
We're looking forward to seeing you all again at Sunfest 2012!!
