New Camping Area Along With JT Hodges, Sara Jean Kelley And The Roys Added To Arizona Country Thunder

Florence, AZ (Feb. 8, 2012) – Our patrons have spoken, and we have risen to the challenge. With only a couple months until Country Thunder hits the ground running in Florence, Arizona, organizers are excited to reveal Encore Camping.  “With six camping areas already at capacity, we had to open up a new camping area ‘Encore Camping’ to accommodate the demand,” says Andrews.  Encore Camping prices are $150 per campsite, only 90 sites are available, these are going to disappear fast! In addition, Country Thunder releases even more talent to already impressive list of country stars set to perform.  Brian Andrews, producer of Country Thunder, is pleased to announce the addition of JT Hodges,  Sara Jean Kelley, and The Roys to the 2012 festival line-up. 

The newly-announced performers will share the stage with headliners Dierks Bentley, Big & Rich, Blake Sheltonand Alan Jackson, as well as the Eli Young Band, Craig Morgan, Kellie Pickler, Thompson Square, Phil Vassar, The Band Perry and many more at the premiere country music, camping and entertainment festival taking place on April 12-15, 2012.

Country Thunder will also keep the party going at Moonshine Willy’s, offering music, alcohol and food to the VIP's from 11am-10:30pm daily. Moonshine Willy's opens at 10:30pm to the public, with live entertainment. Every night after the headliner, don't miss Harry Luge Jr. and his band Dually Stoned on the Moonshine Willy stage, with a ‘bucking good time’ happening their performance with Midnight Madness featuring bucking bulls, saddle bronc and bare bronc riding!
