Event Details

Multi-Platinum selling and award-winning superstar Cole Swindell is heading to Athens, GA with his 2025 headling Happy Hour Sad Tour, produced by Pepper Entertainment. Experience the country music star live and be here to sing along t your favorite hits!

Priscilla Block draws listeners in with her unfiltered, relatable songwriting, and catchy melodies. Her honest and up-front approach promotes self-love, empowerment, and acceptance through her own blend of country pop and southern rock, dubbed “the Block Party sound.” Priscilla has cemented her place in country music with her rabid fan base and unmitigated honesty in songs, helping her earn recognitions from the Academy of Country Music (New Female Artist of the Year nomination), CMT Awards (Breakthrough Video of the Year), The New York Times (Best Albums of 2022), and more.

Picture a fresh voice in music that feels like a warm, nostalgic drive through small-town GA, with a sound that’s equal parts soulful storytelling and modern grit. Logan Crosby’s the real deal—a Milledgeville native who grew up soaking in the vibes of legends, while finding his own lane. He’s got that rare knack for spinning personal experiences into songs that hit you right in the chest—think heartbreak, first loves, and sneaking into bars with your buddies, all wrapped up in a voice that’s raw, honest, and impossible to ignore.
