NASHVILLE, TN. (Webster PR) - The organizers of the 10th Annual Affiliated Foods Midwest Country Stampede festival, which will be held at Tuttle Creek State Park in Manhattan, Kansas (June 23-26th), have announced the final additions to the star-studded talent line up slated to perform over the four day event. Multi-platinum artists such as keith urban, Phil Vassar, ZZ Top, Big & Rich, Lonestar, and Montgomery Gentry will be joined by Dierks Bentley, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Sawyer Brown, Chely Wright, George Canyon, and newcomers Shelly Fairchild, Billy Currington, Sugarland, Shevy Smith, Keni Thomas, Lane Turner, and the Drew Davis Band.

Festival President Wayne Rouse is confident this year's line-up will draw a sell-out crowd.

We tallied the votes as obtained from the site and decided that this year's festival is all about what the fans want, because it is truly their event!'

In addition to the excitement on the main stage, the festival grounds is covered with various events, performances, and vendors to keep fans entertained in between concerts and well into the night. The Red Bull Extreme Team Moto-X will perform three times on-site on Saturday, and the RC McGraw's / Rambler's Saloon features evening performances by the festival's favorite rowdy man, Harry Luge, who will keep the party going with Harry Luge & Haywire.
