They will join the previously announced Toby Keith, Jason Aldean, Martina McBride, Rodney Atkins, Eric Church, Neal McCoy, Sawyer Brown, and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band at the event which runs April 7–10, 2011.

Kicking off the festival will be Jason Jones along with Steel Magnolia, recipient of nine major industry award nominations including CMA and ACM Vocal Duo of the Year. On Friday, Georgia native and singer-songwriter Brantley Gilbert will be joining Danelle Leverett and Susie Brown, better know as the JaneDear Girls. With their current hit "Wildflower" earning spots on both Billboard's Heatseekers and Country Chart and their recent ACM "Top New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year" nomination the JaneDear Girls have proven that they are ready to take country music by storm. Saturday's crowd is in for a treat, with entertainment from Walker Hayes, who's debut single "Pants" has already captured country fans across the U.S., and longtime country favorite The Bellamy Brothers, who's talents have earned them more than a dozen chart-topping singles in the U.S. and Europe. For the final day of the festival, 2010 ACM "Top New Vocal Group of the Year" Gloriana returns to the Country Thunder stage, and will be joined by Troy Olsen, who's current single "Good Hands" is currently climbing the country singles chart. With this line-up, Country Thunder is a festival that can not be missed!
