Concerts On The Course With The John Deere Classic

On Thursday, Jonh Deere Classic officials announced that Grammy award-winning Country music superstar Lainey Wilson and legendary rockers Counting Crows will perform at this year’s John Deere Classic, continuing the tournament’s highly successful Concerts on Course series, which debuted last year.

Wilson, who recently won her first Grammy for her critically acclaimed record, “Bell Bottom Country,” was also honored as Country Music Association’s (CMA) Entertainer of the Year. She will perform on Sunday, July 7.

Counting Crows, who burst onto the scene in 1993 and is known as one of the pre-eminent live touring rock bands, will take the greenside stage on Saturday, July 6.

“The John Deere Classic is more than thrilled to welcome CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson and one of the music industry’s top live bands, Counting Crows, to perform at this year’s tournament,” said tournament director Andrew Lehman. “It is going to be a weekend of great golf, great music, and great fun for our fans.”

The performances are scheduled to take place along the 18th fairway at approximately 5:45 p.m., a short time after golf concludes, as it did last year. Fans will be seated on the hillside to the golfer’s right of the fairway across from the stage. Tickets for the John Deere Classic go on sale on Wednesday, April 3rd.
