Country music sensation Lainey Wilson played in front of a large crowd, Friday night, July 14, as the headlining act of the South Carolina Peach Festival in Gaffney.
The Peach Festival anticipated 7,000 attendees for Wilson’s concert at Lake Welchel.
The “Heart Like A Truck” and “Watermelon Moonshine” country singer recently opened the CMA Fest in Nashville.
Wilson is also well known for her songs and performance as “Abby” on the hit series, “Yellowstone.”
Running from Wednesday, July 12 through Saturday, June 22, the Peach Festival will feature a variety of events for all ages.
According to festival chairman Ronnie Benton, last year’s events, combined, saw a turnout of 25,000. He anticipates the crowds to surpass last year’s attendance with thousands of fans turning out for Wilson’s show.
Friday night wasn’t the SC Peach Festival’s first rodeo in hosting a big headliner. George Jones, George Strait, Garth Brooks, the Oak Ridge Boys, Lee Greenwood, Kathy Mattea, Travis Tritt and Reba McEntire, among others, have all taken the stage for the long-running Gaffney fest, which originated in 1978.
