“Hang Tight Honey”: Lainey Wilson Set to Headline the 2025 Carolina Country Music Festival Alongside Fellow Star

Since kicking off the first Carolina Country Music Festival back in 2015, the festival continuously expanded each year. Looking at the numbers, the first festival brought in around 20,000 people and the 2021 festival welcomed over 35,000 guests. Wanting the festival to expand even more, the organizers announced that stars like Jelly Roll and Kid Rock would be performing at the 2025 festival in Myrtle Beach. But although both singers know how to entertain a crowd, it appears that Brantley Gilbert and Lainey Wilson will also travel to South Carolina to take part in the musical festival.

Wasting no time in the music industry, Wilson produced numerous studio albums and even appeared in season 5 of Yellowstone. Back in August, she released her fifth studio album Whirlwind which featured hit songs like “4x4xU” and “Hang Tight Honey.” And when it came to accolades, she brought home the ACM Female of the Year Award and the Entertainer of the Year award.

Lainey Wilson Stays Focused Thanks To Miranda Lambert

Scheduled to kick off on June 5th and run till June 8th, the music festival is prepared to welcome over 40 artists to the stages. For those looking to attend the festival, a 3-day general admission ticket, which includes Thursday night will run between $289.00 and $299.00. Sadly, the 4-Day Main Stage VIP ticket already sold out. But for those who want to live it up, the 4-Day Super VIP package is still available to purchase, but it does come with a hefty price tag. The ticket will set fans back a staggering $1,999.00. And that is just the starting price. There is another option that costs $2,199.00.  

While continuing to grow her career in country music, Wilson once discussed her love for Miranda Lambert and how the singer also checked in on her. Seeming to work each and every day, Wilson revealed, “She definitely tells me that you gotta take care of the racehorse, meaning yourself. If it’s not fed and watered and taken care of, the rest of the team loses.”

With that knowledge, Wilson insisted, “So I gotta be able to show up my best self and be rested, feel good, be mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally okay.”
