Country to Country launched in 2013 as a groundbreaking country music festival bridging Nashville and Europe. Created to meet growing international demand for the genre, C2C brought major US country stars to audiences in the UK and Ireland for the first time.

Over the years, it has evolved into a multi-city celebration, showcasing both established artists and rising talent. C2C has become one of the hottest events in the global country music calendar, contributing to the rising popularity of country as one of the UK’s fastest-growing music genres.⁴
