5 artists outside the Main Stage you should check out at C2C: Country to Country 2017

C2C: Country to Country 2017 kicks off today and there’s so many fantastic artists lined up to play over the weekend that it’s impossible to know where to start.

Obviously the main attraction for most attendees will be the incredible main stage artists including Brad Paisley, Reba McEntire and Zac Brown Band. There’s plenty going on outside the main stage though with pop-up stages all around The O2 Arena.

We’ve picked out 5 artists who will be performing throughout the weekend on various stages. Keep reading to find out who we think you should make time for over the next three days.

 

1. Chase Bryant

Rising singer-songwriter and guitarist Chase Bryant has achieved a huge hit with Room to Breathe in the US. The sexy track has garnered plenty of attention for Chase and he’s marked himself out as one to keep a very close eye on. I can’t wait to hear more material from him and I’m sure he’ll be previewing new material this weekend.

When:

Friday 10th March at 19:15 – Yamaha Music Stage (Arena)

Saturday 11th March at 11:40 – BBC Radio 2 Country Stage (Indigo)

Sunday 12th March at 14:30 – The Roadhouse (Building Six)

 

2. Canaan Smith

With a Platinum selling single, Love You Like That, already under his belt and a Top 4 album, Bronco, it’s surprising that Canaan is playing outside the main stage. He’s set to be huge with the release of his new album later this year and lead single I Like You That Way is gearing up to be the sound of the summer. Catch him while he’s still playing stages this small! He’s also be doing a headline UK tour kicking off on 14th March.

Lucie Silvas is perhaps best-known here in the UK for her breakthrough album Breathe In back in 2004.

The first fruits of her change in direction is latest album Letters to Ghosts, which got a UK release in 2016.
