Casey Popcorn Festival Entertainment Lineup
CASEY, IL (APR 18)—The Casey Popcorn Festival Committee is thrilled to announce the national entertainment lineup for the 2025 Casey Popcorn Festival, taking place from August 29 to September 1, 2025, at Fairview Park in Casey, Illinois!
The main stage will kick off on August 29th with Crush – The Bon Jovi Concert Experience. This band has been captivating audiences for nearly a decade with their live performances and authentic renditions of Bon Jovi’s greatest hits. A Crush concert offers an exhilarating musical experience that simply must be seen to be believed!
On Saturday, August 30th, Lakeview, the rural, blue-collar duo, will take the stage. Known for their hits like “Home Team” and “See Me in A Suit,” their performance promises to be a highlight of the festival.
Sunday, August 31st, will feature Tyler Farr on the main stage. Recognized by Taste of Country as “one of the best male vocalists in country music today,” Farr made a significant impact on the country music scene with his debut album, “Redneck Crazy”, which quickly reached No. 2 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200. He has achieved three No. 1 hits, including the emotionally charged “Whiskey in My Water” and the poignant “A Guy Walks Into a Bar.”
On Monday, September 1st, Christian artist Colton Dixon will perform a special afternoon show at the park. After finishing in the top seven on Season 11 of Fox’s American Idol, Dixon emerged as a phenomenon in the music scene. His first album, *A Messenger*, released in 2013, achieved the biggest first-week sales by a new solo Christian artist and reached the Top 15 on the Billboard 200, as well as No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart. He has since garnered multiple No. 1 hits on Christian Hot AC, including “More of You” and “Through It All.” In 2017, he returned to the top of the Christian Albums Chart for the third time and has won two Dove Awards for “Rock/Contemporary Album” and “Recorded Music Packaging.”
General admission to the concerts is FREE, thanks to our incredible sponsors! The Party Pit section returns this year, located directly in front of the stage and featuring a separate bar and restrooms. Party Pit tickets will be available for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights only, with a discounted 3-Day Package option.
