Country Thunder Arizona: What You Need To Know

FLORENCE, AZ – For the next four days, the capital of Arizona might as well be Florence. The County Thunder Arizona music festival gets started on Thursday and more than 100,000 people are expected at Canyon Moon Ranch.

The festival is one of the state's largest and this year's event is filled with top-notch talent including Jason Aldean, Toby Keith, Bryan White, and Luke Bryan.

Here's a rundown on some of the key things that you need to know:

ARE TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE?

Yes. There are still general admission day passes available for $75 and four-day passes for $90. Campsites and reserve seats appear to be sold out.

IT'S GOING TO BE HOT

And not just the performances. The temperature this weekend is expected to be in the 90s so dress appropriately and be prepared to drink lots of water.

Don't forget, that's just during the day. Once the sun goes down, so does the temperature, with the lows expected to be around 60 degrees.

WHAT TIME SHOULD I GET THERE?

If you're not camping and already there – the site opened for campers on Wednesday at 9 a.m. – the gates open each day at 9 in the morning and close at 10 at night.

The exits are open 24/7 if you need to leave.

WHAT WILL IT COST TO PARK?

If you're just there for the day – $10. For the whole weekend, $30.

CAN I BRING THE KIDS?

Not only can you bring the kids, if they're 12-years-old and younger, they get in for free.

WHAT CAN I BRING IN?

Besides, the kids, your options are a little limited. You can only bring clear bags that are no larger than 14 inches by 17 inches by six inches as well as small bags no larger than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches.

You can also bring one unopened bottle of water. There will be refill stations available.

Be aware that there will be pat-downs and metal detectors.

IS IT JUST ABOUT THE MUSIC?

Nope. There's plenty to do – from the mechanical bull and country swing-dancing competitions (with prizes) to line dancing lessons and plenty of food options (including fried Oreos).

MUSIC! THAT'S RIGHT, THERE'S MUSIC!

That is, after all, what the music festival is all about, right?

Here's the lineup for the Main Stage:
