2010's Country Throwdown
The organizers of the music and extreme sports festival Vans Warped tour have put together the first ever Country Throwdown tour. The outdoor amphitheater trek will feature headliners Montgomery Gentry, Jamey Johnson, Little Big Town, and Jack Ingram. Other artists confirmed for the multi-stage country tour include Eric Church, the Eli Young Band, Jonathan Singleton & The Grove, Lost Trailers, Ryan Bingham, and Emily West. The Country Throwdown tour will run from May 13th through June 20th.

In addition to the 12 main artists performing on the one main stage and two side stages, the Bluebird Cafe Tent will feature nine singer-songwriters. These artists will perform intimate in-the-round sets throughout the day.

Montgomery Gentry's Troy Gentry said, "When Eddie (Montgomery) and I were approached about doing the Country Throwdown tour we immediately said yes. We loved the idea of it being like a big festival, a big party. I mean, that's what Montgomery Gentry is all about! We're keeping the ticket prices low because we know it's hard out there. Fans are going to get a lot of entertainment for their money. This tour is going to be a great experience for us, the other artists, and especially the fans."

The ticket pre-sale begins in February. For a limited time, anyone who buys early can get the Ticket Takeover priced ticket, which means instead of traditional front-to-back tiered ticketing, where fans who pay more get closer, the seating will be split down the middle. Regular tiered ticketing will still be available for purchase for half of the amphitheater seating.
