Central Point, Ore. — County star Keith Urban will be headlining the 2017 County Crossings Music Festival in Central Point. Tickets for the festival go on sale on June 13th at 8:00 a.m. The festival takes place July 27-30.

NBC5 News was the first to report the 4-day music festival could be headed to the Rogue Valley. The festival is planning on bringing in over 20,000 people a day to the Jackson County Expo.

The Director for the Expo, Helen Funk, says it will only enhance something the Rogue Valley already does well, “We are great with entertainment. If you look at not only the great things I can do at the Expo with things but also our Britt Festival as well as the Holly, the Craterian, Shakespeare, everyone stands to gain from this.” Those festivals bring in some big name stars to Oregon. Headliners this year include Miranda Lambert and Brantley Gilbert.
