This July Miranda Lambert will headline a country music festival in Guthrie Center — a central Iowa town of about 1,500 people. Guthrie's River Ruckus is entering its 12th year, and despite the fact that it's way-the-heck in Guthrie Center, the festival has drawn a pretty darned impressive lineup of country music stars again this year.
Lambert heads up the three-day festival — July 23 to 25 — that includes country music talents such as Chris Janson, Granger Smith, John Michael Montgomery and Phil Vassar.
Here's the full lineup:
Thursday, July 23
Friday, July 24
Saturday, July 25
Location
Guthrie's River Ruckus takes place at the Guthrie Country Fairgrounds, 408 W. State St. in Guthrie Center
