Country music aficionados, get ready to enjoy some twang and tunes at the Out of the Park Music Fest set to take the stage today in Surprise, Arizona. The festival, which promises a lineup of notable country artists, will be held at Mark Coronado Park from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., with headliner ERNEST concluding the evening. According to a statement published by the City of Surprise, general admission tickets are still on sale for $40 and will bump up to $50 on the day of the event.

With a timetable peppered with talent, the festival announces Nashville's ERNEST hitting the stage at 9 p.m., bringing his award-winning melodies to the forefront. Chase Matthew and his billion-stream presence will grace the festival at 7:30 p.m., followed by George Birge, Louie TheSinger, Lauren Watkins, Will Cullen, and Kyle Mercer rounding out the earlier slots. Fans can brush up on the featured songs with artist-specific playlists made available on Spotify or YouTube, providing a chance to sing along during performances.

Tickets to the event offer more than just live music—they also include access to various attractions like yard games and food truck offerings. For sports fans, the festival is offering a novel experience; a Spring Training game and music fest bundle starting at $38, as noted on the City of Surprise website. Moreover, parking will not be an issue as it's free and abundant around the venue area, although some road closures will be in place for the safety of all attending.

Attendees are expected to comply with festival policies, including a clear bag policy that permits non-clear bags up to an unassuming 5” x 8" size, and clear bags up to 12" x 6" x 12". Bottled water is welcome, albeit with staff-removed caps, and while the festival is a no-go for pets, service animals are the exception to the rule. The primary sponsors such as Auto-Owners Insurance and Ideal Insurance Agency, along with several others, are thanked for their support in making the event possible.
