Grammy-award winning country music superstar Lainey Wilson and legendary rockers Counting Crows will perform at this year’s John Deere Classic, continuing the tournament’s successful Concerts on Course series, which debuted last year.

Wilson, who recently won her first Grammy for her critically acclaimed record, “Bell Bottom Country,” was also honored as Country Music Association’s (CMA) Entertainer of the Year in 2023. She will perform Sunday, July 7 at TPC Deere Run, Silvis.

Counting Crows, who burst onto the scene in 1993 and is known as one of the pre-eminent live touring rock bands, will take the greenside stage on Saturday, July 6, according to a Thursday morning John Deere Classic release.

“The John Deere Classic is more than thrilled to welcome CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson and one of the music industry’s top live bands, Counting Crows, to perform at this year’s tournament,” said tournament director Andrew Lehman. “It is going to be a weekend of great golf, great music and great fun for our fans.”

Longtime tournament sponsor John Deere pioneered the Concert on Course series in 2023, with Blake Shelton and Darius Rucker.

“Building off the momentum of last year’s John Deere Classic that brought record crowds to TPC Deere Run for an engaging blend of live music and golf, we are excited to announce another powerful concert lineup,” said Mara Downing, Deere’s Vice President, Global Brand and Communications. “When we renewed our contract with the PGA Tour, we wanted to evolve to attract new and traditional fans to this world-class event.”

The performances are scheduled to take place along the 18th fairway at approximately 5:45 p.m., a short time after golf concludes, as it did last year, Lehman said. Fans will be seated on the hillside to golfer’s right of the fairway across from the stage. Tickets for the John Deere Classic will go on sale Wednesday, April 3, at the tournament website HERE.

The 53rd edition of the Quad Cities’ PGA Tour event will be played the week of July 3-7 at TPC Deere Run in Silvis with Sepp Straka as defending champion and a purse of $7.8 million.
