| Country Thunder Arizona returned to Canyon Moon Ranch in Florence on Thursday for a four-day weekend with headlining performances by Riley Green, Keith Urban, Hardy and Bailey Zimmerman on a bill that also features Tucker Wetmore, Justin Moore, Ashley McBryde, Luke Bryan and more. |
| The festival attracts an average of more than 25,000 people a day. Roughly half of those attendees spend the weekend in the more than 8,000 campsites at Canyon Moon Ranch that sell out long before the festival begins. |
| And we’ve got an in-depth look at Country Thunder in the ‘90s , when the festival was launched at Queen Creek Mayor Mark Schnepf’s family farm as Country Jam USA. |
