Sunfest Country Music Festival announces 2027 lineup: What to know about the four-day event

The annual Sunfest Country Music Festival has announced its B.C. Day long weekend headliners for the 2027 event.

And it’s big.

The event has one of its strongest lineups to date with American heavyweight Luke Bryan opening the Friday night and Zac Brown Band closing out the festival on the Sunday. Nanaimo-born-and-raised rising Canadian singer Cameron Whitcomb will fill out the roster closing out the Saturday night fun.

Celebrating its 25th year as one of the province’s signature country music showcases, Sunfest Country Music Festival takes place over four days. The first day is a fan favourite, with a soft opening often featuring some of the most popular performers in the Canadian country scene. Then the big stars twang out for the main stage shows.

Along with the music, the site hosts a number of outdoor activities, games and more.

Sunfest runs July 20 to Aug. 1.

For the past decade, the festival has taken place at Laketown Ranch, Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island.

The start time of the festival on July 20 is still to be announced, but visit the sunfestconcerts.com for updates to the daily schedules.

Camping and event passes go on sale Nov. 13 at 9 a.m. at sunfestconcerts.com.
