Baton Rouge Bayou Country Superfest

I hope this works. I don't expect this to be too big the first year. They probably would have done better with more advertising, if I hadn't been surfing the internet for Baton Rouge related stuff, I wouldn't have known about it.

"We can almost hear the boots a’ comin’. Things are about to get a little bit more country in Baton Rouge when the Bayou Country Superfest kicks off in Tiger Stadium May 29.

Headlined by multi-Grammy winners Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban—and featuring what could be the final Baton Rouge appearance by the soon-to-be-separated Brooks & Dunn—Bayou Country will be filled with two days of live concerts across Memorial Day Weekend."

I'm not much of a fan of these artists, but I hope the festival goers pack the local hotel rooms and patronize the local businesses!

Surely, there is a better outdoor venue than Tiger Stadium for concerts, right? Stadium style concerts have an awkward layout.

Didn't realize we had so many people coming to town for this event.

This is so exciting! I admit I was skeptical, but you can't go wrong with 80,000 people. Lol, I was just thinking, the mall is probably going to be packed those days.
