Burlington’s Sound of Music Festival has grown into Canada’s Largest Free Music Festival, and in 2018, they look to continue the tradition they’ve started.

UPDATE, April 3, 2018: Kip Moore has been officially announced as the Sunday, June 10 co-headliner! 

As a multi-genre festival, Sound of Music has been known to include everything from rock and roll to blues, jazz, folk, and more. They also have a strong reputation for supporting and presenting country music on stage at Burlington’s beautiful waterfront.

The 2018 festival lineup is starting to take shape with more artist announcements having been released. And the country music lineup for Sunday, June 10, has been released for fans to take in and start planning for their trip to Burlington.

So far six names have been announced for country day with the potential mystery of a big name headliner to be added based on the row of question marks on the image shared on Thursday.

Note: Other artists already announced for the festival include Simple Plan, The All-American Rejects, Everclear, Eve 6, Sublime with Rome who will perform on Saturday, June 9.

The lineup for Burlington’s Sound of Music Festival will continue to grow, with tons of artists still to come. So, check out the country names we’ve got so far, and be ready for more announcements as we get closer to the June 9 to 17 festival.

2018 Sound of Music Festival Country Artists

Kip Moore

Set Time: 8:15 pm

Coming off of a Canadian tour that has wrapped in Ontario, and moves west to Manitoba, Alberta, and BC in May, Moore will be ready to light it up in Burlington. We saw one of the Toronto shows on the Plead The Fifth Tour, and can tell you that if Kip Moore and his band put on the kind of show we saw at The Danforth Music Hall, a lot of country music fans are going to have a great night.

Brownlee has been one of Canadian country music’s biggest names over the last few years with nine Top 10 singles since 2010. He’s a fan favourite when he stands on stage, often bringing a combination of his hits and great covers to his set.

Emerson Drive

Set Time: 4:15 pm

Emerson Drive have put 16 singles into the Top 10 since 2006. Their high energy show is always a hit with their fans, and their collection of hits and fan favourites from 2001’s I Should Be Sleeping to 2017’s Just Got Paid will keep fans entertained from start to finish.

Madeline Merlo

Set Time: 3:15 pm

Merlo continues to be a rising star in Canadian country music, taking 2017’s Motel Flamingo to #8 on the charts. The BC singer keeps getting better and better on stage as her career progresses, and we expect her to wow the crowd at the Sound of Music Festival.

Cold Creek County

When the six members of Cold Creek County take the stage together, they start a party. They bring all kinds of musicianship to go with catchy hits like Homemade and Our Town, and they never fail to entertain.

With every show and single release, Leaving Thomas proves to be one of the hottest new country acts in Canada. And with increased exposure in the United States via SiriusXM The Highway and CMT, tracks like Waiting Kind Of Girl and Blame It On The Neon are helping the band become future stars.
