three-day event

The three-day event kicked off Friday and will run through Sunday night with headliners Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll and Luke Combs.

Ward emerged as the clear favourite for the prestigious honour in the weeks leading up to the three-day event in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Those who attended the three-day event complained they were duped into false advertising and demanded refunds.

That will be a challenge since the three-day event drew nearly 200,000 people to the streets of Long Beach last spring, contributing an estimated $100 million to the region’s economy.
