After a very successful inaugural event last year, True North Sports + Entertainment and the Winnipeg Football Club are excited to announce that Country Thunder 2026 at Princess Auto Stadium will be headlined by country superstar Bailey Zimmerman. Completing the lineup are multi-platinum chart topper Koe Wetzel, Josh Ross and singer-songwriter Robyn Ottolini.

Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Bailey Zimmerman is one of country music’s brightest stars, known for his chart-topping hits and authentic gritty sound. August of 2025 saw the release of Zimmerman’s Sophomore album Different Night Same Rodeo which includes country radio’s #1 hit superstar collaboration Backup Plan featuring Luke Combs as well as Top 10 and platinum single Holy Smokes, and more. Zimmerman has earned multiple award nominations, including nods from the Billboard Music Awards, ACM Awards, People’s Choice Country Awards, and CMT Music Awards—cementing his status as one of country music’s fastest-rising stars.

The man behind 2025’s most played song on country radio with his 3x Platinum, 5-week No. 1 hit High Road Koe Wetzel has earned a rabid audience for his songs that mix country, rock, hip-hop, and even 90s grunge.

The Nashville-based singer, Josh Ross made waves with a series of independent releases before scoring his first No. 1 hit on U.S. country radio with Single Again in 2025 after a 71-week climb, notching a massive milestone in his burgeoning career.

Robyn Ottolini has amassed more than 160 million streams, including for the heartbreak smash, “F-150.” The single reached #3 on Rolling Stones’ All Genre Viral Chart, scored heaps of applause and awards (including a CCMA Award for Rising Star) and earned Ottolini her first platinum-certified song.
