Dauphin’s Countryfest – who’s a headliner for 2018 and the stats for 2017

Florida Georgia Line confirmed for the 2018 Festival!

As the Club Regent Casino & Event Centre Main Stage geared up for the Saturday night’s shows, Countryfest organizers took the opportunity to make a special announcement to the sold-out amphitheatre. Florida Georgia Line will play at Countryfest next year. The crowd found out through a video that was set up and seen on the Jumbotron. The screams were ear deafening.
