"As always, we have a fabulous, diverse and monster line up coming to downtown Detroit with mega superstars, energized performers, hot new country names and a sampling of artists from metro Detroit's local country scene. Three days, over 50 acts and it's all free. That is what the Hoedown is all about, right here in the heart of the Motor City."

The 99.5 WYCD Downtown Hoedown remains the largest free country music concert in the world. Debuting in 1983, the annual event has played host to such legendary country artists as Hank Williams, Jr., Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks to breakout newer artists like Rascal Flatts and Lady Antebellum.
