Already considered a hub for Latin, hip hop and electronic music, Miami is now going country.
FILE - Leo Brooks, left, and Andrew Millsaps of Neon Union arrive at the 58th annual Academy of Country Music Awards, May 11, 2023, at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas. Neon Union will be performing at the Country Bay Music Festival, which is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 11, and Sunday, Nov. 12, at the historic Miami Marine Stadium, just southeast of downtown on Virginia Key in Biscayne Bay, Fla.
The headliners scheduled for the event are Thomas Rhett, Sam Hunt, Chris Young, Lee Brice and Lainey Wilson. Other performers include Randy Houser, Chris Lane, LOCASH, Elle King, Restless Road, Blanco Brown, Josh Ross, Hailey Whitters, David J. and Kat & Alex. During Brooks' time with Pitbull, they collaborated with Tim McGraw and other country artists. Brooks started sharing some of his country songs with Pitbull, hoping to pass them along to established country acts, but Pitbull encouraged Brooks to perform the songs himself.
“While we were recording, our hairs were standing up,” Brooks said."We’re like, ‘This is a God thing. This is meant to be.’ And that’s just the feeling I still have.” “We believe that this could become a destination festival, where people come for Miami and country music,” Albareda said. “And we’re seeing that in our tickets sales. We are selling an equal amount of tickets in South Florida as we are outside of South Florida.”
"We have a long-term commitment to Country Bay as a festival, and we have a long-term commitment to Miami," Albareda said.
