Thomas Rhett, Megan Moroney part of iHeartCountry Festival lineup at Moody Center
AUSTIN (KXAN) — The 2025 iHeartCountry Festival is returning to Austin's Moody Center this spring, and the lineup has just been released.
The festival happens on Saturday, May 3, and will include performances from Brooks & Dunn, Thomas Rhett, Rascal Flatts, Sam Hunt, Megan Moroney, Bailey Zimmerman and Nate Smith, according to an announcement from iHeartMedia.
The festival will be hosted by iHeartMedia's top on-air country personality Bobby Bones.
A couple of artists on the lineup were recognized in November with Country Music Association Awards, including Brooks & Dunn for Vocal Duo of the Year and Megan Moroney for New Artist of the Year.
The Moody Center was also named the top-grossing arena of its size in Billboard’s 2024 year-end venues ranking.
“We are so excited about this year’s lineup and bringing these artists to fans all in one night at Moody Center in Austin,” said Rod Phillips, iHeartCountry executive vice president of programming, in a statement. “It’s a thrill every year to watch so much great music come to life on one big iHeartCountry stage.”
