about

The Country Stampede Music Festival is an outdoor country music and camping festival held annually at Azura Amphitheater in Bonner Springs, Kansas and is known as one of the biggest music festivals in the Midwest.

​

The festival was founded in 1996, being held at Tuttle Creek State Park outside Manhattan, Kansas through 2018 where it was known as the largest annual music festival in Kansas, and brought many of the largest Country music stars to the area. In 2019, potential flood conditions caused the festival organizers to make a timely move to Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka, Kansas where the festival would be held from 2019-2023. In 2023, Heartland Motorsports Park closed, and Country Stampede was forced to find a new home. After considering multiple sites, it was decided that the festivals new home would be Azura Amphitheater in Bonner Springs, Kansas. The Amphitheater offered the festival amenities it had never had, including a permanent stage, concession buildings, permanent bathrooms, permanent seating, and much more. Country Stampede had its first festival in Bonner Springs in 2024, and organizers are looking forward to many more years at the facility, to continue to bring nationally-recognized and up-and-coming Country artists to the Kansas City area.

​

 The BIGGEST names in country music have performed on stage such as Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, Taylor Swift, Chris Stapleton, Jason Aldean,  Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen and so many more. Check out the full list of performers below.
