5/27/2008 Sandy Paul Tim McGraw at canceled Country Thunder Poor ticket sales led to the cancellation of Country Thunder USA, a four-day Country Music festival scheduled near Dallas, TX. Numerous other factors, such as a depressed economic state and the financial outcome of last year’s event after heavy rain and the cancellation of 70 percent of the lineup, aided in the decision, according to pollstar.com. Country Thunder GM, Glenn Starnes, said they “thought they could pull off a recovery from last year’s disastrous weather cancellations, but with all the extenuating circumstances, it just didn’t happen.” The Country festival, originally scheduled for May 29 to June 1, planned to feature Country Music artists such as Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Kellie Pickler and more.
