Braves Country Fest Brings Major Country Stars to Truist Park for Inaugural Festival

The Atlanta Braves and Live Nation have announced the inaugural Braves Country Fest, a day-long country music celebration taking place at Truist Park in Atlanta on Saturday, June 13, 2026. This first-of-its-kind festival combines country music with baseball culture, featuring major headliners inside the stadium and free performances throughout The Battery Atlanta.

Major Venue Coverage Opportunity

For media professionals, this event presents significant coverage potential at one of the Southeast's premier entertainment venues. Truist Park, home to the Atlanta Braves, offers a unique stadium setting that differs from traditional concert venues, providing distinctive visual opportunities for photographers and videographers covering country music events.

The festival's dual-venue format creates multiple coverage angles, with ticketed performances inside the 41,000-capacity stadium and free showcase events at The Battery Atlanta's outdoor spaces. This setup allows media to capture both intimate performances and large-scale stadium production elements.

Headliner Lineup

The main concert inside Truist Park features four prominent country artists. Cody Johnson, fresh off his CMA Male Vocalist of the Year win and ACM Song of the Year recognition for "Dirt Cheap," headlines the event. His recent album "Leather" won the 2024 CMA Album of the Year, cementing his status as a major draw for media coverage.

Ella Langley, the 2024 ACM New Artist of the Year, brings her chart-topping success including "you look like you love me," which made CMA history by winning four major awards. ERNEST, Nashville's prolific songwriter behind hits for Morgan Wallen and Post Malone, performs alongside rising star Mackenzie Carpenter.

Free Showcase Events

The Braves Country Hot Prospects showcase at The Battery Atlanta's Georgia Power Pavilion features emerging artists including Zach John King, Colton Bowlin, and Scoot Teasley. These non-ticketed performances offer additional coverage opportunities for media focusing on up-and-coming talent in country music.

Tickets for the main concert are available through Live Nation and the Atlanta Braves, with proceeds supporting the Atlanta Braves Foundation. The event continues the venue's expansion into major music programming, building on Truist Park's growing reputation as a premier entertainment destination beyond baseball.
