Wisconsin festival

Held in the lake district of Wisconsin, Country Thunder hosts the music festival on one of the most scenic festival sites in the country. With a natural grass amphitheater in the main stage area, to the treed common areas, the festival site offers a little nature in the middle of one of the biggest festivals in North America. This event has become so popular that it was awarded the "Festival of the Year" Academy of Country Music Award in 2015.

In Wisconsin there are mainly two types of tickets that can be purchased, general admission and reserved. General admission allows fans to enter into the festival grounds and has lawn seating. Reserved seating is a seating area in front of the stage that allows one to enjoy the shows at a closer view and with every two seats purchased fans can receive a reserved parking pass which is a closer parking area than general parking.
