Brett Kissell, High Valley, and The Reklaws are coming to Saint John this summer.

They are the headliners for this year’s Boxcar Country Music Festival, running from July 25 to 27.

“We are thrilled to be able to build on the success of the inaugural Boxcar Country Music Festival and bring another extended weekend of music to the waterfront,” said Founder Ray Gracewood.

“We had incredible feedback from country music fans after last year, and we’ve been working hard to deliver another exciting west-meets-East Coast experience that really extends beyond the concert.”

A total of 17 artists will take to the stage during this year’s festival, which has expanded to include a third day.

They include Tenille Arts, Ben Chase, The Mainlanders, The Brent Mason Band, Lindsay Ell, Jess Moskaluke, Chris Cummings, Hope King, Josh Norrad, Tyler Joe Miller, Kalsey Kulyk, Tristan Horncastle, Mike Biggar Band, and Waylon Napadogan.

The festival will take place in the space adjoining the AREA 506 Waterfront Container Village, which will host a wide array of activities throughout the weekend, including a line-dancing workshop, food trucks, and the vendor market.

Festival passes and single-day tickets are now on sale.
