Nickelback, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw to headline Boots & Hearts

Multi-day country music and camping festival will take place Aug. 10-13, 2023 at Burl’s Creek Event Grounds in Oro-Medonte Township

Christmas has come a little early for country music fans with the release of the musical lineup for next summer's 2023 Boots & Hearts music festival.

The popular, multi-day country music and camping festival, which is produced by Republic Live, is held annually at Burl’s Creek Event Grounds in Oro-Medonte Township, halfway between Barrie and Orillia. The 2023 festival is slated to take place Thursday, Aug. 10 to Sunday, Aug. 13, 2023.

This year’s lineup boasts some of country music’s top hit-makers, including soon-to-be Canadian Hall of Famers Nickelback, who will take the stage on the Friday night, and St. Catharines native Tim Hicks.

Josh Ross, Hardy, Dallas Smith, Lauren Alaina, Riley Green, and Travis Denning are also set to perform throughout the weekend, while chart-topping country superstar Keith Urban will headline the show on Aug. 12.

Country music legend Tim McGraw is slated to close out the festival fun on Sunday, Aug. 13. 

Tickets will be available for purchase online soon, according to the event’s website.

This past summer's festival was mired by heavy rain, with Shania Twain's headlining performance being delayed, but the Canadian superstar put on a dazzling 90-minute set in front of an estimated 50,000 fans at Burl's Creek.
