C2C Festival 2024 Photo

Wow - what a weekend it was at C2C Festival 2023. In the following months, members of the UK's blossoming country music fanbase were forced to groggily return to their regular lives, where bars only play cheesy pop, nobody appreciates the beauty of ‘She Had Me At Heads Carolina’ and friends think Zac Brown and Zach Bryan are the same person.

But not to fear, because we can do it all over again in 2024, with C2C Festival set to return on March 8-10 2024. Shortly after announcing his 2024 

Kane Brown self-confirmed his appearance on the C2C Festival 2024 line-up

Now, we have the full headlining trio, with 

Old Dominion and Brad Paisley set to join Kane Brown at the hotly anticipated 2024 extravaganza

. They'll be joined by the likes of Jake Owen, Brothers Osborne, Carly Pearce, Lauren Alaina, Elle King, Brian Kelley and more. 

In addition, the Spotlight Stage performers for London and Glasgow

 will be Wyatt Flores, Carter Faith, Colbie Caillat, Mason Ramsey, Chapel Hart, Fancy Hagood and Restless Road.

Here, we'll have all the up-to-date news on line-up announcements, the latest ticket and festival pass details, and any further exciting info and details for C2C Festival 2024.

Excitingly, the line-up has also been unveiled for the much-loved CMA Songwriters Series at the London leg of C2C Festival 2024, with Holler favourite, Stephen Wilson Jr., set to take the Indigo at the O2 stage on March 7 as part of an incredible line-up that includes Charlie Worsham, Lauren Alaina and Colbie Caillat. 

For the full C2C Festival 2024 London line-up so far, see below:

CMA Songwriters Series with Stephen Wilson Jr., Charlie Worsham, Lauren Alaina and Colbie Caillat

Attendees will be keenly looking forward to hearing Old Dominion dust off hits such as ‘I Was On A Boat That Day’ and ‘One Man Band’, as well as an array of tracks from their new album, 

Brad Paisley and Kane Brown will undoubtedly deliver stellar headlining sets, while fans will also be excited to hear Carly Pearce perform a number of songs from her upcoming record. 

Jake Owen and Brian Kelley will bring a joyously Tropical Country ambience to London, Glasgow and Belfast, with 

BK having impressed during his recent Jags Country UK performance

The 2023 instalment featured powerful, evocative sets from Morgan Evans, Ashley Cooke, Lady A and Zac Brown Band, along with high-octane, electrifying performances from the likes of Thomas Rhett, Lainey Wilson, Jordan Davis and Drake Milligan.

For the 2024 festival, it's been revealed that C2C Dublin will be moving to the SSE Arena in Belfast, while the other two legs will remain at London's O2 Arena and Glasgow's OVO Hydro. 

The last thing any of us want after screaming along to ‘Like I Love Country Music’ is a long, tiring and most likely delayed train journey home with our sweaty flannel shirts, crumpled cowboy hats and ‘Marry Me Kane’ placards that same evening. 

Therefore, if Kane rudely refuses your proposal and you're looking for somewhere to stay during the C2C Festival 2024 weekend, here are some options near London's O2 Arena, Glasgow's OVO Hydro and Belfast's SEE Arena:

£ - 4-star - Around 20 minutes from the O2 Arena via DLR and Jubilee tube line
