99.5 WYCD, Live Nation and Olympia Entertainment announced that the 33rd annual 99.5 WYCD Downtown Hoedown, presented by RAM Trucks, will take place at a new event space, West Riverfront Park. In partnership with the Detroit RiverFront Conservancy, the two-day festival will take place Friday, June 5 and Saturday, June 6, allowing concertgoers to bask in the breezes of the Detroit River while listening to some of today’s hottest country music artists, including Rascal Flatts, Darius Rucker, Brett Eldredge, Eli Young Band and Jana Kramer. 

Located along the Detroit riverfront at Jefferson and 10th Street, just west of the Riverfront Apartments and Joe Louis Arena, the park will feature concert staging, seating and lawn spaces to accommodate country fans for the Hoedown.  

“West Riverfront Park is an exciting space for us to provide our guests with top-tier entertainment right on the water and against an unbeatable backdrop of our city’s vibrant skyline,” said Tom Wilson president and CEO of Olympia Entertainment. “From the sound waves to the waterways, we are thrilled to partner with the Detroit RiverFront Conservancy, 99.5 WYCD and Live Nation for what’s sure to culminate in an unforgettable concert experience.” 

“We are very excited to bring the 99.5 WYCD Downtown Hoedown back to the waterfront,” noted Debbie Kenyon, market manager and senior vice president for CBS RADIO Detroit. “West Riverfront Park will make for a great setting, giving listeners a great country music experience, as well as the ambiance of the riverfront.  We feel that the artists will be equally impressed and are thrilled to have Darius Rucker and Rascal Flatts as our headliners for our first year at West Riverfront Park.”
