After relocating to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans in 2017 due to Tiger Stadium renovations, the two-day Bayou Country Superfest is back at its rightful place in Death Valley this month.
“The reason the festival exists is because the city, LSU and the people of the greater Baton Rouge area … embraced the event as their own,” organizers say in a statement.
“As with all homecomings, the imminent return of Bayou Country to Baton Rouge is filled with great memories and the promise of creating new ones.”
This year marks the fest’s 10th anniversary, and eight performers are scheduled to take the stage Memorial Day weekend. They include Tennessee native and Country Music Association award winner Kenny Chesney—who has had no problem selling out stadiums on his own. Chesney performs on Saturday, May 25, bringing hits like “The Good Stuff,” and “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems.”
