WEST CHESTER, Ohio — Blake Shelton is the first headliner to be announced for next year's Voices of America Country Music Festival, festival organizers announced Thursday morning.
Shelton is not only the only headliner announced so far — he's the only performer listed on the event's 2026 roster at this point. That will change, though, as festival organizers have slowly announced performers over time, including who will headline each night of the festival.
The four-day-long festival will run from August 6 through August 9 in 2026.
According to festival organizers, the VOA Country Music Festival brought more than 100,000 people to Southwest Ohio for its festivities in 2025, when headliners were Carrie Underwood, HARDY, Bailey Zimmerman and Darius Rucker.
The festival will again bring over 30 country music artists to perform at the Voice of America MetroPark in West Chester. In a press release, organizers said they anticipate the festival will again be a sold-out event.
The 2026 festival will be the fourth year since its inception. The West Chester Festival made its debut in 2023, when around 80,000 country music fans packed the Voice of American MetroPark. The event was even more popular in its second year, with more than 100,000 attending to see the more-than 30 artists lined up throughout the day perform.
Festival passes are on sale starting at $220.29 for a 4-Day General Admission Pass, but the festival said prices will go up on November 9. To purchase a pass or to sign up for the mailing list, go to www.voacountrymusicfest.com.
