Lakes Jam has unveiled another headliner for their 2027 festival that takes place at the Brainerd International Raceway. Performing along with Dierks Bentley on Saturday night and Max McNown on Friday night will be Chase Matthew, headlining the Busch Light Main Stage on Thursday.

Lakes Jam Announces Chase Matthews For Thursday Night

Lakes Jam announced this morning that Chase Matthew would be headlining the multi-day music festival on Thursday night at the Brainerd International Raceway in 2027.

Matthew is still a relatively fresh face in country music. According to the post from Lakes Jam "From fan favorites like "Love You Again," "County Line," and "Darlin'" to the high-energy live show that's earned him a reputation for "ripping the roof off the place," Chase is bringing that same electric energy to Lakes Jam for one unforgettable opening night."

Chase Matthews Is Joining In With Dierks & Max

Joining Chase Matthew as a headliner at Lakes Jam 2027, which runs from June 23rd - June 26th, will be Dierks Bentley on Saturday night and Max McNown on Friday night. This past year, the festival had Bailey Zimmerman, Tucker Wetmore, and Neal McCoy perform on the Busch Light Main Stage.

Who Are The Supporting Acts?

We don't know yet, and it's more than likely we will have to wait until 2027 to find out who else will be playing at Lakes Jam, but so far it's a pretty stacked lineup. The final lineup isn't set until June, a few weeks before the festival happens.

More Than A Music Festival

Lakes Jam, for those unfamiliar with the festival, is more than just music being played; there are mud trucks, drifting, watercross, poker and bean bag tournaments all going on, plus live music.
