St. Pete Country Fest 2026 runs Friday, November 20 through Sunday, November 22 at Vinoy Park on the downtown St. Pete waterfront, with Riley Green, Bailey Zimmerman and Koe Wetzel headlining on the official lineup.
This is the festival's second year. The inaugural festival sold out. “Selling out in our inaugural year was an incredible milestone,” founder Braxton Wilson said in That's So Tampa's October 30 report.
St. Pete Country Fest 2026 lineup runs past the headliners
Beyond the three headliners, the official lineup lists Stephen Wilson Jr., Dylan Gossett, Charles Wesley Godwin, Chase Matthew and Corey Kent. Rising acts named include Ernest, Tucker Wetmore, Cameron Whitcomb and Warren Zeiders. The official site says there are over 40 more acts beyond the named artists, for more than 50 artists across five stages over three days.
The grounds also include pop-up shops, bars, food trucks and interactive experiences, and each day has its own theme.
Gates open at 1 PM, parking is at SouthCore
Gates open at 1 PM each day, Friday through Sunday. A city ordinance requires all amplified music to end by 10 PM each night.
Parking is at the SouthCore Parking Garage, 101 1st Ave S. Limited paid street parking is on the surrounding blocks, and ride share or other alternative transport is recommended.
Food comes from several local food trucks and vendors, with vegetarian and vegan options. Full bars for 21+ attendees are spread throughout the venue.
A medical team is on site. Private security and local police provide security.
Tickets: single-day GA is on sale, VIP is sold out
As of November 2, the official ticket page lists single-day general admission on sale at $138.11 for Friday, $149.56 for Saturday and $138.11 for Sunday. A three-day GA pass is $229.66. GA is standing room only with re-entry all day.
Every VIP tier is listed as sold out, including Main Stage VIP, Super VIP and the 10-person VIP Sky Box. StubHub is the official secondary ticket marketplace. Payment plans offer four payments, with sign-ups ending about five weeks before the event, so that window appears to have closed as of October 31.
Box office hours on the official info page list weekday and date pairs that don't match November 20-22, so confirm them there.
Wristbands, kids and what to leave at home
Entry requires a valid 2026 Festival Wristband worn at all times. Wristbands are non-transferable and non-exchangeable once applied, so wait to put yours on until plans are settled. Kids 5 and under are free with a wristbanded parent or guardian. Children 6 and older need their own wristband.
Prohibited items are outside food, alcohol, drinks, glass containers, coolers, tents and umbrellas.
The accessible viewing area is first-come, first-served. One companion is allowed per ADA guest, and seats can't be saved or reserved.
Who plays which day
The official lineup now lists artists by day. Friday, November 20 is led by Koe Wetzel, with Stephen Wilson Jr., Ernest, Charles Wesley Godwin and Josh Ross. Saturday, November 21 is led by Riley Green, with Tucker Wetmore, Cameron Whitcomb, Chase Matthew and Evan Honer. Sunday, November 22 is led by Bailey Zimmerman, with Warren Zeiders, Dylan Gossett, Corey Kent and Pecos & the Rooftops.
That's So Tampa reports each day closes with a headliner on the Busch Light Main Stage. Check the lineup page for set times before you go.
