Country music fans in West Chester are gearing up for a boot-stomping good time at next year’s Voices of America Country Music Festival, which now officially features Darius Rucker.
The VOA Country Music Fest will also have Bailey Zimmerman and HARDY on its lineup, according to recent releases. Rucker, a Grammy Award-winning performer with country crossover appeal, is set to headline Thursday night, according to FOX19.
Following their winning strategy of combining famous stars with up-and-coming talent, the VOA festival appears to boldly add a fourth day of music, no doubt to satisfy the country crowd’s ravenous appetite. This extension adds to a rising trend of long-lasting celebrations that entice both diehards and new converts.
“We wanted to kick things off in a major way moving into year three,” festival organizers told FOX19. “The kick-off concert is for our fans! Adding a fourth day of country music to this event, headlined by Darius Rucker, was our way of saying thank you to our fans.
The festival, set against the picturesque backdrop of the Voices of America MetroPark in West Chester, Ohio, will take place from August 7 to August 10, 2025. Previous event iterations saw significant attendance growth, with last year’s festival attracting over 100,000 country music fans.
The festival’s diverse lineup of headliners, which has included Dan + Shay, Old Dominion, Jason Aldean, and Keith Urban in recent years, demonstrates its growing popularity. WLWT obtained a release from the organizers, which promises that the 2025 edition will “return bigger and better.”
Passes are already on sale for those who want to quickly grab their cowboy hats and secure their spot. Options range from four-day general admission to super VIP packages, catering to a variety of preferences and budgets.
Seasoned festivalgoers may be particularly interested in the newly introduced Main Stage VIP Seated option, which improves the experience for those who want to enjoy their favorite tunes more comfortably.
Apparently, organizers are betting not only on great headliners but also on an immersive and inclusive fan experience, as detailed on their website by WCPO.
As this burgeoning festival cements its place in the pantheon of must-see country music events, it’s clear that the heart and soul of country music will be beating strongly in West Chester next August.
With an array of musical talents, a fusion of old-school country sounds with modern influences, and the charm of Southern hospitality, the Voices of America Country Music Festival hopes to hit all the right notes again in 2025.
