LYNCHBURG — Igniter Productions, the creative team behind the Lynchburg Music Fest, announced this week that the October dates for this year’s festival are still a go. The 2020 festival is scheduled for October 2-3 in a still undisclosed new location.

In March, the festival announced their first headliner, Kip Moore.

He landed early on the Bro Country scene singing songs about trucks, beers, and small town Friday nights. So, it’s fitting that he’ll headline the most famous small town in America on Friday, October 2.

Born in Tifton, Georgia, Moore began his music career during his college days a Wallace State Community College before moving to Nashville in 2004 where he met songwriter and producer Brett James. James – who wrote Carrie Underwood’s famous Jesus Take the Wheel – took an interest in Moore and helped him sign a publishing deal.

Moore’s well know for his chart-topping single, Something Bout a Truck, which hit number one on the Billboard country charts. He followed that song with success like Hey Pretty Girl and Beer Money. Last August, he released an anticipated single, She’s Mine, the first song from a much anticipated upcoming album. To hear it and watch the video, click here.

His Lynchburg Music Fest performance will come just in time to maybe hear a few more songs from the new album along with those radio favorites he first became famous for.
