18 artists will be performing on 2 outdoor stages on June 15, 16 and 17!

Over 20,000 country fans are expected for this 8th edition!

Saint-Agapit, November 16th 2022 – Festival Country Lotbinière (FCL) reveals the first headliner of its 8th edition, which will be held from June 15th to June 17th, 2023.
American artist Russell Dickerson will take the stage at FCL on June 16th.

Cette année, le Festival Country de Lotbinière a eu l’excellente idée d’offrir des spectacles gratuits en après-midi, mettant en vedette des artistes du Québec. La programmation a donc pratiquement doublé; les spectateurs étaient ravis de l’ajout et les artistes ont été enchantés de l’accueil qu’ils ont reçu. Même la pluie s’est faite clémente pendant ces spectacles.

The sun finally greeted us when we awoke on Sunday morning, after being absent much of the weekend. Although not completely gone the mud started to dry up enough that you could walk on it without losing your leg…it was a good day for a music festival.

Rain, rain and more rain was the story of the day on Saturday at Festival Country Lotbinière. Of course much of the area near the front of the stage, including our media pit, had turned into mud by the end of the show on Friday…by yesterday it was more like quick sand that fed on an endless supply of shoes, boots and the occasional small child (just kidding no children were eaten by the mud monster at this festival). Did anyone care? No because the music made us all forget that we were slowly sinking up to our knees in mud.

We’re back to our regularly scheduled weekend less than a year since the last edition of Festival Country de Lotbinière and, once again, festival organizers were dealt with a forecast of rain and gloom…in other words…perfect weather for an all Canadian lineup for a country festival.

One of the most important country music festivals in Quebec today unveiled the program for its 7th edition, which will take place from June 17 to 19 at Saint Agapit. This year, the Festival Country Lotbinière (FCL) is very proud to present 18 artists who will perform on two outdoor stages.

And that’s a wrap. After three incredible nights of live music we’re done for another year. After 2 years of waiting Granger Smith finally made it to Canada and he didn’t disappoint, all be it one of the smaller crowds of the weekend (likely due to the final night being a Sunday)

After an explosive finish to day 1 many, myself included, wondered how, or if, day 2 would measure up. Day 2 would be filled with another round of 4 performances with Phil G. Smith, Five Roses, Brittany Kennel and, High Valley taking to the stage.

The day started out looking much like a repeat of 2019 which saw heavy rains overtake the venue but Matt Lang promised that the rain would push past by showtime and although light rain continued on and off through Manny Blu’s, just as Matt had promised, the passed and a rainbow took its place just in time for Kelsi Mayne to take to the stage.
