Country Stampede will move to the Wichita area in 2027, with the music festival scheduled for June 25-27 at Gilley’s in Park City.
Kustom Entertainment, Inc., a live entertainment and music festival company, announced Monday that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kustom 440, Inc., entered into a partnership with Ruffin Properties, LLC, owner of Gilley's Park City (“Gilley’s”) to produce and host music festivals throughout the spring, summer, and fall seasons beginning in 2027, with select events planned for fall 2026, according to a media release from Kustom.
Country Stampede Kansas celebrates its 30th anniversary on June 25-27, 2026, in Bonner Springs, Kansas. As part of the agreement, the 2027 edition of Country Stampede Kansas will be held at Gilley's from June 25-27, 2027, marking a major next chapter for one of the region's leading country music festivals while enhancing the experience Country Stampede fans know and love.
The move to Gilley’s will allow Kustom to nearly double the capacity of its current venue and host shows for up to 35,000 people. The added space will give Kustom the ability to expand and customize the festival experience with larger crowds, camping, food and beverage options, and other on-site amenities including more premium fan experiences.
The partnership will bring a new festival experience to Park City, KS, a suburb of Wichita, and is expected to include more than 20 show days in 2027. The events will feature live music, camping, food and beverage options, and other festival amenities designed to create a full destination experience for fans, artists, and the surrounding community.
Patrons attending the 2026 Country Stampede Kansas will receive the first look at what the future festival experience at Gilley’s will include. Kustom plans to showcase early details of the Park City festival concept during the 2026 Country Stampede in Bonner Springs. When tickets go on sale for 2027, current ticket holders will also have early access before the general public. Tickets to 2026 Country Stampede Kansas in Bonner Springs, KS can be purchased at www.countrystampede.com.
“This partnership with Gilley’s is an exciting step for Kustom Entertainment as we continue to grow our festival footprint,” said Stan Ross, CEO of Kustom Entertainment, Inc. “Though we know there will be some fans who love the current setting, we assure fans that this partnership will provide an even better overall experience. Gilley’s, Park City, and the Wichita area have a strong live music culture and provide a unique setting to build upon and enhance the best parts of the Country Stampede. The shift in location allows us to expand the fan experience through camping, amenities, and great live music.”
Phil Ruffin, owner of Gilley’s Gambling Hall Park City, Treasure Island Hotel & Casino, and Circus Circus Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, said he is excited about the partnership and the long-term opportunity it creates.
