Desert Sky Music Festival will take over the West Valley Events Complex in Glendale on October 3, bringing more than nine hours of live country music to Arizona with a lineup that includes Brett Young, Carly Pearce, Chayce Beckham, Dylan Schneider and Ashley Anne.
Produced by Arizona-based Forty8 Live!, the all-day festival is designed to be more than just a concert. Along with a single stage packed with country music performances, attendees can expect food and beverage vendors, shopping and interactive experiences. The festival runs from 2 to 11 p.m., with performances beginning at 3 p.m. and building toward headliners Brett Young and Carly Pearce.
Kicking off the music at 3 p.m. is Nashville newcomer Ashley Anne, whose viral songs “dear dolly” and “she ain’t Texas” have helped establish her as one of country music’s rising voices. Her EP Generational Heartbreak has also helped put her on the radar, and she has a song featured on Carly Pearce’s upcoming album.
At 4 p.m., Dylan Schneider will take the stage. With more than 400 million streams, two Gold records and a Top 5 songwriting credit on Dustin Lynch’s “Momma’s House,” Schneider is bringing his debut album, Puzzled, to the festival. Chayce Beckham follows at 5 p.m. The American Idol winner has made a name for himself with his bluesy country-rock sound and his hit “23,” which became his first No. 1 at country radio.
At 6 p.m., Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Carly Pearce will bring her country hits. A member of the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry, Pearce has earned five Top 5 Country Radio hits throughout her career. Brett Young will close out the evening at 7 p.m., bringing a catalog that has amassed 8.5 billion global streams and seven consecutive No. 1 singles.
General Admission tickets start at $72.39 per person, while General Admission plus a pit pass is $108 per person. VIP tickets are $208 per person, and groups looking to make the occasion extra special can reserve a 10-person VIP suite for $2,688 total. Doors open at 2 p.m., with music beginning at 3 p.m. and continuing through the evening. Tickets are on sale now at Desert Sky Music Festival.
