After the jump, we’ve got a preview of the entire lineup, as well as details on how you can enter to WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS!

VINTAGE TROUBLE

As you may recall, we’re big Vintage Trouble fans here at No Country. The funky, blues rock outfit blew us away earlier this year at Mercy Lounge, and we think they’re the perfect choice to headline a party like this one!

FUTUREBIRDS

Self described as “psychedelic country,” the Futurebirds bring an eclectic range of influences and a seasoned stage show to the mix. We previously featured them as a Bonnaroo Band of the Day.

KANSAS BIBLE COMPANY

One of our absolute local faves, diverse rockers Kansas Bible Company often seem to end up on the bill for these types of shows, and for good reason. They know how to bring the party with their fantastic performance!

DeROBERT & THE HALF-TRUTHS

Nashville’s DeRobert & The Half-Truths are part of the funk/r&b revival we’ve been seeing over the past few years, and we can’t get enough of it! They bring just the right mix of passion, energy, and, well soul.

SAN RAFAEL BAND [House Band]

Texas transplants San Rafael Band will provide the house music with their latin-inspired jazz sound.

HEROES X VILLAINS [After Party]

Atlanta duo Heroes x Villains are skilled remix artists, but they also have some killer, trap-inspired tunes of their own. We’re expecting them to really bring the house down at the late night party.

FUTURE UNLIMITED [After Party]

We’ve told you all about Future Unlimited time and time again, and we’re glad to see them finally performing more frequently in town. Their moody, atmospheric rock/post-punk sound is like an updated take on Depeche Mode.

NOISE FLOOR [After Party]

Nashville electro house duo Noise Floor channel a broad range of EDM styles, and specialize in remixes and mashups in addition to their own, compelling originals. Get ready to dance!

FIVE KNIVES [After Party]

You know that saying “we saved the best for last?” Locals Five Knives walk the line between EDM and electro-rock, channeling an unparalleled intensity and unreal stage show. Think a better, more amped up Sleigh Bells. You don’t want to miss them!
