Chase Rice is the main headliner on Saturday night

As the inaugural event, you can bet the weekend lineup is pretty stacked.

Friday night is all about celebrating Canadian musical talent. The headliner is one of Canada's most decorated country singers (and 23-time CCMA Award winner), Brett Kissel.

The "She Drives Me Crazy" singer will be the final performance of the day, which also includes Jade Eagleson, Madeline Merlo, and Ryan Langdon.

International artists bring their talent to the Golden Horseshoe on Saturday with headliner Chase Rice, a multi-platinum country artist and international touring act. The co-writer of "Cruise" by Florida Georgia Line, Rice's performance is accompanied by day sets from Chayce Beckham, Tyler Braden, Angelica Appelman, and Andy Colonico.

Even better, both festival days will be marked by a special-off stage acoustic set from Cam Brown.
