Announcing the headliners
Since last August, festival organizers have announced the names of its headliners and featured artists. This is the first time Shelton, Malone and Green will perform at the decade-old festival.
During his decades-long career, Shelton has recorded 30 No.1 singles and sold 13 million albums. The Grand Ole Opry member has also been involved with television, starring as a coach in NBC’s “The Voice” back in the 2010s and co-producing a new CBS series, “The Road,” according to CCMF.
Post Malone’s debut country album “F-1 Trillion” reached No.1 on the Billboard 200 and garnered him eight 2025 Grammy Award nominations, according to CCMF. Malone collaborated with Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Luke Combs on the project.
Before that album, some of Malone’s most popular hits included “rockstar,” featuring 21 Savage, “I Fall Apart,” “White Iverson,” “Better Now,” “Congratulations” featuring Quavo, and “Sunflower” from the hit film, “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse.”
