Country groups Montgomery Gentry and Little Big Town are scheduled to headline Country Stampede 2010, according to a news release yesterday.
These two groups are scheduled to join Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert, who were announced as part of the lineup in July, at the festival, according to the release.
Wayne Rouse, president and general manager of Country Stampede, said the festival has been a tradition that has taken place in Manhattan for the last 14 years.
The lineup will also feature Billy Currington, Darius Rucker, Tracy Lawrence and Gloriana, among many others. Along with music, the event will have food, shopping and fun activities.
Rouse said some activities would include a mechanical bull and a climbing wall. Merchants will also have shops set up selling cowboy hats and other souvenirs.
There will also be more than 2,500 campsites where people can stay during the four-day festival, according to the release.
Country Music Television, which has partnered with Country Stampede before, plans to do so next year, according to the release.
Rouse said the schedule is yet to be determined.
"Last year, they did a Top-20 Countdown from the event," Rouse said. "Right now, the network is still putting a plan together."
The festival is scheduled from June 24 to 27 at Tuttle Creek State Park in Manhattan. Tickets and general campsites are on sale now, according to the release. Four-day tickets are $95 and single-day admission tickets are $55.
The Tuttle Creek Dam Safety Assurance Program has wrapped up construction this year so the event will no longer have to work around it, making parking and camping more convenient for festival patrons, according to the release.
Complete ticket and camping information can be accessed by calling 1-800-795-8091, or visiting the festivals Web site at CountryStampede.com. Preferred camping with electrical hookups will go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday by telephone.
