Everything’s bigger in Texas – including country music festivals. And just in case you’re skeptical, consider Exhibit A: The Big State Festival set for Oct. 13-14 at Texas World Speedway in Bryan-College Station, TX, a star-studded extravaganza that will spotlight the likes of Tim McGraw, Willie Nelson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lyle Lovett and His Large Band, Trace Adkins, Miranda Lambert (recently named Best New Female Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music), Los Lonely Boys, The Wreckers, Robert Earl Keen and many, many others.
But wait, there’s more: During the two-day festivities, attendees also will be treated to stock-car races presented by the Richard Petty Racing Experience, and a barbecue cook-off showdown that boasts one of the biggest cash prizes offered at any U.S. event of its kind.
“Our goal is to deliver an experience that is loaded with music talents,” says Charlie Walker of C3 Presents, producer of the Big State Festival (and, not incidentally, the Austin City Limits Music Festival). “But we also want to give fans lots to do, see, hear, drink and eat – at a great price.”
Texas native Miranda Lambert fully expects the Big State Festival to be a big-time blast: “I don’t know what’s going to be more fun – performing for that many country music fans in my home state, or watching all the other great acts that I love.
“Not to mention,” she adds, “I have a big weakness for kickin’ Texas barbeque.”
Sounds tasty, doesn’t it? Tickets can be ordered here.
