Other artists confirmed for the first annual multi-stage country tour include Eric Church, the Eli Young Band, Lost Trailers and more.

 Troy Gentry of Montgomery Gentry comments, "When Eddie [Montgomery] and I were approached about doing the 'Country Throwdown Tour' we immediately said yes. We loved the idea of it being like a big festival, a big party. I mean, that's what Montgomery Gentry is all about! We're keeping the ticket prices low because we know it's hard out there. Fans are going to get a lot of entertainment for their money. This tour is going to be a great experience for us, the other artists and especially the fans."
