He's now positioned as Saturday night's headliner
Following Carrie Underwood's cancellation due to sickness, The Long Road Festival have announced that Aaron Watson will be taking the Saturday Night headliner slot at this weekend's festival.
Writing on Facebook, the festival team explained the changes...
We’re overwhelmed by the support we’ve received from our Country Family both on and off stage. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Carrie is of course irreplaceable, but we’ve listened to your suggestions and Aaron Watson has kindly offered to step into Saturday night’s headline slot on the Rhinestone Stage. Danielle Bradbery has also shown her support by extending her set, so we are now busy updating all of the timings for you.
With over 70 acts, 5 stages and plenty of experiences around every corner, we’ve created something truly special and we can’t wait to share it with you.
