Vidalia Onion Festival – April 22-25, 2021

Lee Brice to Headline the 2020 Vidalia Onion Festival!

Headlining the 2020 Vidalia Onion Festival concert is American country artist, Lee Brice. When Lee isn’t selling out arenas, writing and recording songs, or building new brands like American Born whiskey, you’ll find the family man with his wife Sara, two young boys, and baby daughter.

Lee’s current radio hit with Carly Pearce, “I Hope You’re Happy Now”, is one of the top songs played on radio today. Brice plans to release even more new music in early 2020.
