Brett Young and Maddie and Tae
(KAIR)--Although the holiday season is upon us, thoughts turn to summer, as the line-up for Atchison's LakeFest 2018 is announced.
According to a press release issued by Amelia Earhart Festival Coordinator Jacque Pregont, country music's Brett Young will headline the annual concert at Atchison's Warnock Lake.
Young, a CMA New Artist of the Year nominee known for his number one hit “In Case You Didn't Know,” will take to the LakeFest stage after a performance by country music duo Maddie and Tae.
Maddie Marlow and Taylor Dye, known for the commentary of their hit “Girl in a Country Song,” have been hailed as one of “10 New Artists You Need to Know” by Rolling Stone, among other accolades.
The opening act for LakeFest 2018 is not yet announced.
LakeFest, scheduled for Friday evening, July 20, will again serve as the kickoff for Atchison's annual Amelia Earhart Festival weekend, which marks its 22nd anniversary this year.
The Saturday following the concert is filled with numerous events, including that night's “Concert in the Sky” fireworks show, commemorating famed aviatrix, Amelia Earhart, who was born in Atchison.
Tickets for LakeFest don't officially go on sale until May 1, but gift certificates are available for purchase in person now at the Atchison Area Chamber of Commerce.
The $25 gift certificate can then be exchanged for a ticket when sales begin.
