Gary Allan will be the country headliner on the Busch Light Main Stage on Saturday, June 28th, 2025 at 10pm.
Gary grew up skating, surfing and playing in honky-tonk bars with his dad in Orange County, California, which is not where you’d expect a respected country music artist to spring from, but that experience honed his musical skills and gritty sound which are on display in every album.
His emotional storytelling is front and center on his platinum album “Smoke Rings in the Dark” and his gold album “Tough All Over” as well as his platinum single “Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)” which was nominated for Single and Song of the Year by the Academy of Country Music and Male Video of the Year by the CMT Music Awards.
Although he’s known for his solo work, he has toured with Brooks & Dunn and performed with Willie Nelson, citing Willie’s iconic outlaw country as an inspiration for his gritty sound. Allan’s personal losses also influence his emotional lyrics and powerful storytelling.
