Doors for the event are set to open at 4 p.m., ready to welcome festivalgoers to the sounds of the not-yet-announced acts on the Festival Stage.
Tim Roberts, Program Director at 99.5 WYCD, couldn't be more thrilled about Bryan's return. He's quoted saying, "It’s a full circle moment to have our friend Luke Bryan return to the WYCD Hoedown!" according to both FOX 2 Detroit and ClickOnDetroit. "He was on his first single then and now brings 30 #1 hits to this epic show at Pine Knob! We couldn’t be more excited."
Tickets are all set to go on sale at 10 a.m. on February 16, beckoning fans to quickly grab their spot at what's shaping up to be a memorable event under the stars. Ready to break out the wallet?
