At the end of February, Brantley Gilbert will be heading to Europe with Luke Bryan, Lady Antebellum, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Kip Moore and Brandy Clark for The C2C – Country to Country Festival, which is Europe’s largest country music festival. Brantley admits, “Before this thing really got to the point it’s at I was a southeast guy. I never really left Georgia all that much except for travelin’ to play shows and I didn’t travel that much. Now that’s a different case, we’re all over the country, but as far as goin’ to another country that’s definitely different.”
Last year’s sold out C2C Festival drew over 50,000 fans to shows at The 02 in London and Dublin 3Arena, and this year the festival is adding events in Sweden at the Ericsson Globe and Norway at Oslo Spektrum Arena. This year’s event will play February 28th & March 1st and March 7th & 8th, and Brantley says, “I’m definitely excited to see how much fun it’s gonna be, but I’m lookin’ forward to it. It’s gonna be a good time.”
Brantley will get to share a lot of his hits plus his brand new single, “One Hell of an Amen,” with his European fans, which is something he’s looking forward to.

Brantley Gilbert – C2C Fesitval :33
“The C2C stuff is billed as the UK’s only Country Music festival. So, bein’ a part of that is definitely an honor. Man, before this thing really got to the point it’s at I was a southeast guy. I never really left Georgia all that much except for travelin’ to play shows and I didn’t travel that much. Now that’s a different case, we’re all over the country, but as far as goin’ to another country that’s definitely different. I’m definitely excited to see how much fun it’s gonna be, but I’m lookin’ forward to it. It’s gonna be a good time.”
