And it’s back next week.

Honestly, beer, BBQ, and country music outside in the beautiful Chicago summer weather.

How can you beat that?

What sets this festival apart is not just the star-studded lineup or the delectable food.

For Chicagoans and visitors alike, it’s the perfect way to celebrate summer.

Let’s talk about the other talent The Smokeout has in store for everybody.

(Die a Happy Man is a freaking smash)

Chase Rice -

Chase is the man.

Hits like “Eyes on You” and “Drinkin' Beer.

showcase his ability to craft catchy, relatable songs that are perfect for a live setting.

Then, they got on stage at the Barstool Bar Nashville and blew everybody the fuck away.

Their voices are incredible and they have stage presence of veteran bands.

You don’t want to miss them on Friday.

Oh yah, and they’re not too hard on the eyes either.

Parker McCollum

I’m not ashamed to admit that I have a full-fledged man crush on this guy.

I fuckin love him.

And he’s hot as fuck.

He is their number 1 fan and has been forever.

And he was right, even before “Yellowstone” blew them up big time.

They are fucking awesome and I can’t wait to hear them live.

Another great booking by Ed Warm and Smokeout.

Cody Johnson

I’ve got to see Cody Johnson perform live before.

The place was beyond packed.

My bold prediction is this year will be even more crazy for Carrie Underwood.

His music is characterized by a blend of contemporary country and soulful ballads.

They pull into town early.

The Barstool Backstage team has awesome access to the artists and will be interviewing almost everybody.

If you see us around stop and say what’s up.

Hope to see everybody there.
