The highly anticipated Country To Country (C2C) festival has revealed the return of the CMA Spotlight Stage for 2025, in partnership with the Country Music Association (CMA). This stage will showcase some of country music’s most exciting newcomers across London and Glasgow from March 14th to 16th.

The CMA Spotlight Stage provides a unique platform for emerging artists to perform in front of thousands, reinforcing C2C's dedication to the growth of country music in the UK. The lineup features Bayker Blankenship, Drew Baldridge, Harper O’Neill, Kashus Culpepper, Kassi Ashton, Kezia Gill, Max McNown, Reyna Roberts, and Willow Avalon, all performing at The O2 in London. Meanwhile, fans in Glasgow will also get to see Blankenship, Baldridge, O’Neill, Ashton, Gill, and Avalon perform on the CMA Spotlight Stage at The OVO Hydro.
This collaboration underscores CMA's ongoing commitment to supporting C2C and fostering the genre’s presence beyond the U.S. Since C2C’s inception in 2013, CMA has played a vital role in expanding country music’s fan base in the UK and Europe.
With its impressive growth over the years, C2C has become the premier European destination to experience top-tier country artists and promising newcomers. This year, the festival will bring headliners Lainey Wilson, Dierks Bentley, and Cody Johnson to stages in London, Glasgow, and Belfast, following a successful Belfast debut in 2024.
The main stage lineup will also feature Dylan Gossett, Tyler Hubbard, Chayce Beckham, Shaboozey, Tucker Wetmore, Niko Moon, Nate Smith, 49 Winchester, Avery Anna, Wyatt Flores, Tanner Adell, and The Castellows, ensuring a packed weekend of country music across all three cities.
