Country Music Titans to Headline Big Valley Jamboree 2026
The 34th edition of the Big Valley Jamboree will feature an impressive lineup of country music heavyweights, with Keith Urban, Riley Green, and Old Dominion taking the top billing for the festival scheduled from July 30 to August 2, 2026. The event will be held at the Camrose Exhibition Grounds, located approximately 93 kilometers southeast of Edmonton via Highway 21.
Headlining Acts and Supporting Performers
Keith Urban, the four-time Grammy winner and American Idol judge, will close the festival on Sunday night. Now 58 years old and considered country royalty, Urban returns to the stage two years after his previous performance was canceled due to severe weather conditions, including nearby lightning strikes. With 37 charted singles and hits like Blue Ain't Your Color and Somebody Like You, Urban brings a distinctive presence as the only blonde, beardless, and New Zealand-born headliner.
Riley Green, the 37-year-old neo-traditionalist and multiple CMA winner, will headline Saturday night. Green, a former Jacksonville State quarterback and contestant on CMT's Redneck Island, is known for songs such as You Look Like You Love Me and I Wish Grandpaps Never Died. His music often features collaborations with artists like Ella Langley.
Old Dominion, the Nashville-based country-pop rock band formed in 2007, will headline Friday night. The group, named after Virginia's nickname, has won several CMA awards, including Group of the Year, and is celebrated for hits like One Man Band and Snapback.
