Multi-platinum-selling Canadian group High Valley and CMA Award-winning sibling trio The Band Perry – reuniting on stage for the first time in five years – will join headliner Sam Hunt and direct support Chase Rice on the Main Stage Saturday (8/9). Also performing is festival newcomer and CCMA Award-winning artist Hailey Benedict. Saturday’s SiriusXM Front Porch Stage will be headlined by Owen Riegling and will spotlight emerging talents including Noeline Hofmann, Kolby Cooper, Karli June and Kelsi Mayne.
ACM Award-winning songwriter and rock enthusiast HARDY joined by Koe Wetzel in his debut appearance at Boots and Hearts, will close out the festival on Sunday (8/10), alongside GRAMMY-nominated rock group Daughtry, multiple CCMA Award-winning artist Meghan Patrick, and rock country duo Lakeview on the Main Stage. That same day, the SiriusXM Front Porch Stage will feature highly acclaimed Canadian rock group Default, Andrew Hyatt and Jessie T, with indie rock breakout and rising country star Stephen Wilson Jr. headlining the stage.
“Hardy, Sam Hunt and Bailey Zimmerman first took the Boots and Hearts stage early in their careers and have since grown into global headliners,” co-founder Eva Dunford notes. “Along with our established headline artists, our festival continues to be a rite of passage for future music legends and we can’t wait to see this year’s new talent—they’re destined to be some of the world’s next biggest stars!”

Joining him are JUNO Award and CCMA Award-nominated singer/songwriter Tyler Joe Miller and 2024 Emerging Artist Showcase winner Sarah Vanderzon who are set to open the evening.
“We’re excited to continue to highlight the amazing blend of country and rock music with acts like HARDY, Daughtry, Stephen Wilson Jr., and Koe Wetzel added to our festival lineup this year. We’re also thrilled to showcase some of the fastest-rising talent both genres have to offer. We have so many newcomers joining us on stage this year like Cameron Whitcomb, Noeline Hofmann and Dylan Marlowe, who have so much buzz and momentum behind them, and we can’t wait to see them play,” shares Brooke Dunford, Director of Booking at Republic Live. “Boots and Hearts prides itself on featuring incredible talent over four unforgettable days, allowing fans to celebrate their favourite artists, discover new ones and enjoy performances from some of the best in the business.
