Willie Nelson, Billy Craig and Rodney Atkins
Just a couple of the country music artists that will make May 15, 16 and 17th a huge weekend for WYCD’s Downtown Hoedown in the city of Detroit.
This marks the festival’s 27th Anniversary bringing over 800,000 attendees participating in 3 days of country music. This year will be the biggest ever and is expected to surpass all the rest with other National Artists such as Zac Brown Band and Lee Ann Womack.
The Downtown Hoedown was established in 1983 and is widely recognized as the largest Country Music Festival of its kind in the world. Hosted by 99.5 WYCD, Detroit’s Best Country, the Hoedown is regarded by the Country Music Industry as a premier showcase opportunity for new and established artists. Located at Hart Plaza in the heart of downtown Detroit, the event attracts hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic country music fans from the Midwest and beyond.
This year is expected to surpass all the rest with over 30 artists taking to the stage, including local Detroit artists and many of country music’s biggest national stars! Not surprisingly, many artists have gotten their big break at the Downtown Hoedown, namely Rascal Flatts, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Montgomery Gentry, Big & Rich, just to name a few.

I’ve been to Detroit’s Downtown Hoedown a few times and it’s always so much fun and definitely worth the trip.
I’m excited to see Willie Nelson and Zac Brown but the artist that I’ve heard so much about in the the Detroit area is Billy Craig. My friend saw him perform at DTE Energy Music Theatre last summer and he said that Billy put’s on an absolutely fantastic show……….
Can’t wait!

OK, the hoedown was fantastic…….Loved Rodney and Willie and I did catch Billy Craig friday night and although it was rainy……he was an absolute firecracker on stage. It’s been a while since I’ve seen that kind of energy coming from a performer……he was awesome………One of the best national artist of the weekend.
