DIERKS BENTLEY IS THE HOST WITH THE MOST AT SEVEN PEAKS.

Artist: Dierks Bentley

Dierks Bentley, who just scored his 21st No. 1 single with “Beers On Me,” is excited to be back after two years with his Seven Peaks Festival. The three-day musical event will take place this Labor Day Weekend (September 2nd – September 4th) at the new location of Villa Grove, Colorado.

Dierks has a packed schedule during the festival, but that’s just the way he likes it. Not only does he headline one night, but he’s also hosting the entire event, as well. “I almost forget that I’m playing the festival,” he says. “You know, I’m so busy running around and try for every band to just let them know, ‘Hey, I’m the guy that’s putting this on,’ and I’m not just backstage hanging on my bus. I go to see, I only missed like one or two performances in 2019, that’s just because of a meet and greet I was doing or something. So, I go watch everybody. You know, I get up on stage and I sing with a lot of people. I’m out in the campgrounds a lot, you know, and then all of a sudden, it’s like, Oh, Sunday night, like, I actually have to play a show to watch this year, like hosting this. I’m also like, I got to go up and do the whole thing, kind of switch gears.”

The lineup includes Morgan Wallen, with additional main stage performances by Boy Named Banjo, Ashley Cooke, Jordan Davis, Jackson Dean, Travis Denning, HARDY, Kendell Marvel, Ashley McBryde, Old Crow Medicine Show, Caitlyn Smith, Rapidgrass, Alana Springsteen and Lainey Wilson. Friday night of the festival will kick off with a special stacked lineup of 90’s acts including Hot Country Knights, Tracy Lawrence, The Frontmen and Pam Tillis, while AYDAMN will be deejaying throughout the weekend. Passes are now on sale at sevenpeaksfestival.com.

“I almost forget that I’m playing the festival.

I’m also like, I got to go up and do the whole thing, kind of switch gears. So, yeah, a lot of it’s just hosting, but then yeah, our set list, it’s going to be similar to what we do on the rest of the tour because there’s that much time that goes in that particular setlist. I’m not really trying to change up the set list a lot night after night. I just went like a month of working to getting exactly right set list with little sections that make it different if I choose to add a new song or do something specific to that town. But we really try to put on the best show and then present that to different audiences every night…So, it’s going to be mostly that. But yeah, obviously guests are gonna get up to sing with us, and that’s a different deal than usual where there are so many friends sticking around.”
