Country hitmaker to headline Surprise music festival

Chase Rice will be among several artists at revamped festival

Posted

Multi-Platinum entertainer Chase Rice, one of country music’s few Diamond-certified songwriters, will headline the Out of the Park Music Fest.

Rice will be among several artists performing from 2 to 10 p.m. Saturday, March 23 at Mark Coronado Park, next to Surprise Stadium.

With chart-topping hits including “Eyes On You” and “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen,” plus Top 10-hit “Lonely If You Are,” Rice has established himself as a powerful force in Nashville and beyond.

With the critically acclaimed album “I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell” crafted in his rural Tennessee home-turned-studio available everywhere now, Rice’s sound continues to evolve to reflect the realities of his life; from emotional reckoning to an admiration of the Western way of life on standout tracks including “Oklahoma” and “Bench Seat.”

Out of the Park Music Fest, a mixed-genre music experience, will close out the spring training season in Surprise with food trucks, a beer garden, yard games, a cornhole tournament and activities for the whole family.

General admission tickets are $20 with VIP packages at $50. A VIP ticket includes catering, two beverage vouchers for alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages, a private bar and VIP viewing area of the stage.

The city is offering a ticket bundle with the spring training game to end the season earlier in the day. Starting at $23, fans can get the best of both worlds by enjoying the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals at 12:05 p.m. and the music fest afterward.

To add a discounted festival ticket to a spring training ticket purchase, go to SurpriseStadium.com/tickets, add any game to the cart and then add on the $15 festival ticket during the checkout process. Those who have already purchased a spring training ticket and want to add Out of the Park Music Fest should call or visit the Surprise Stadium Box Office. Phone orders are subject to a service fee.

The city of Surprise is offering a special Surprise resident promotion, which is two GA tickets for only $20. Purchase tickets by March 8 to take advantage of this special deal. Use coupon code: SURPRISE! Resident tickets will also be verified by credit card zip code.

Tickets can also be purchased through the Surprise Stadium Box Office in person or over the phone at 623-222-2222. Service charges and processing fees may apply to online and phone orders. For box office hours, check SurpriseStadium.com.

Concert tickets will be available the day of the event online or at the Surprise Stadium Box Office starting at $30. Ticket pricing subject to change, and dynamic pricing may apply.

In addition to Rice, the festival will also feature Paul Russell, Jake Hoot, Huntley, Mara Justine and Kyle Mercer

Russell is best known for his viral 2023 single “Lil Boo Thang,” which lit up TikTok and Instagram, rising star and co-headliner Paul Russell is creating a unique blend of smooth vocals and infectious beats, capturing hearts and ears across the music scene.

Hoot’s strong country vocals led him to win Season 17 of NBC’s “The Voice.” His success in country music continued after the show with hits like “I Would’ve Loved You,” featuring Kelly Clarkson, which reached No. 3 on the iTunes Country Singles Chart, and “Tennessee Strong” that climbed into the Top 10 in the same category.

Huntley is the most recent winner of NBC’s “The Voice.” His win during Season 24 showcased his powerful voice and versatility as a soulful blues rock singer-songwriter with a knack for classic rock. His captivating performances solidify him as a rising star to watch.

As a finalist of Season 24 on NBC’s “The Voice,” Justine wowed the judges and viewers with a voice beyond her years. Mara is popular on TikTok, where she showcases her vocal skills by covering popular artists to over 630,000 followers, garnering millions of likes on each video.

Mercer, an Arizona-raised country singer and U.S. Navy Veteran, is now based out of Nashville. Mercer has released three studio albums and plays shows across the country.
