For the second year in a row, the initially announced headliner for the Country Thunder show at Princess Auto Stadium has been swapped out.

American star Kane Brown, who was scheduled for the July 3 concert, has left the lineup owing to “unforeseen circumstances.” His replacement is Nashville-based singer Josh Ross, who had a No. 1 country hit in 2025 with Single Again.

The rest of the bill remains unchanged: Bailey Zimmerman, Koe Wetzel and Robyn Ottolini will take the stage at the touring event, which is followed by the Mötley Crüe-headlined Rockin’ Thunder show on July 4.

Last year, Country Thunder headliner Jason Aldean left the bill of the July 10 show in April; he was replaced by Riley Green.

All remaining regular seats for Country Thunder — which is produced by True North Sports and Entertainment and the Winnipeg Football Club — are $99.50 plus fees. VIP packages are also available.
