WYRK is excited to announce the lineup for the Toyota Taste of Country 2020 — Lady Antebellum, Jake Owen, Midland and Maddie & Tae. The show will be opened up by TOC Riser Competition winner Fuzzy and the Rustbelts.
Following last year’s sold out concert, which marked the 20th anniversary of the Taste of Country music festival in Buffalo, WYRK has assembled another talented lineup that will appeal to every country fan in Western New York. The Toyota Taste of Country will once again be the largest single-day event held in downtown Buffalo, and will take place at Sahlen Field on June 12.
Tickets will go on sale Friday, Dec. 13 at 10 a.m., with a special pre-sale for WYRK mobile app users beginning on Thursday, Dec. 12 at 10 a.m.
Grammy Award-winning musical trio Lady Antebellum, whose eighth studio album Ocean was just released on Nov. 15, will headline the show. Lady Antebellum has won eight ACM Awards and produced nine #1 singles along with dozens of other favorites, including “Need You Now,” “I Run to You,” “Bartender” and their latest single, “What If I Never Get Over You.”
Jake Owen is one of country music’s most well-known and talented singer-songwriters, and has eight number one singles to his name so far. Bringing his infectious energy to hits like “Barefoot Blue Jean Night,” “American Country Love Song” and “Down to the Honkytonk,” Owen has established himself as one of country’s best live performers.
Midland has moved the genre forward with their country rock style and aesthetic, and since forming in 2016 the trio has made waves in country music. Their twice-Platinum smash hit “Drinkin’ Problem” was nominated for a Grammy in 2018, with hits like “Make a Little,” “Burn Out” and their latest single, “Mr. Lonely.”
Country music duo Maddie & Tae’s debut single “Girl In a Country Song” peaked at #1 on the charts in 2014, making them just the second female duo to reach number one with their debut. Since then they have continued to produce hits like “Fly,” “Friends Don’t” and ”Die From a Broken Heart,” and recently opened Carrie Underwood’s Cry Pretty Tour in 2019.
