Just Announced: Northern Wisconsin Music Festival Adds Award-Winning Country Star

A relatively new music festival in Northern Wisconsin is continuing to announce performers for its 2025 event, sharing the addition of an award-winning country music hitmaker to the lineup.

The Concert in the Corn got started in 2021 in Mason, Wisconsin, just a short drive south of Ashland on Highway 63. Since its inception, popular acts like Joe Nichols, Justin Moore, Dustin Lynch, RaeLynn, Sammy Kershaw, Chris Janson, and Sara Evans have all played at the event.

The festival features two stages, the Hilltop Stage and the Main Stage. The Hilltop Stage features regional and up-and-coming acts, while the Main Stage features the marquee performers for the festival.

As the name would suggest, the festival is held down-home style - in a field at White River Ag just southeast of Mason. Just like many other country music festivals, there is also on-site camping available as part of the multi-day experience.
