WE Fest has announced Tim McGraw, The Red Clay Strays and Riley Green as headliners for its 2027 return to Soo Pass Ranch in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. The festival runs August 4-7, with a Wednesday kickoff included in festival admission.
The lineup also includes Sam Barber, Russell Dickerson, Dustin Lynch, Midland, Ole 60, Waylon Wyatt, Braxton Keith, George Birge, Neal McCoy, Tracy Byrd, Kassi Ashton and Tyce Delk. More artists are scheduled to be announced.
Alongside the music, WE Fest is introducing a GA+ option and making changes to its campgrounds. The new GA+ area will occupy the tent and lawn space previously used for the Country Club, with seating, exclusive bars, an executive restroom trailer, complimentary snacks and performances on a dedicated stage.
Camping changes include additional electrical-access sites in the Lake Sallie campground’s new South Sallie area and an expansion of VIP Camping’s west-side electrical-access section. Viking campground will move next to Oatfield. A new bluegrass destination, Fiddler’s Den, is also coming to the Neon Saloon.
“Our theme this year is ‘Country Heaven in ’27,’ and that feels fitting when you look at the broad spectrum of talent in this lineup,” WE Fest owner Matt Mithun said.
