VALDOSTA, Ga. - Wild Adventures Theme Park will welcome country music icons Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson to the stage on Saturday, June 7, as part of the 2025 Wild Adventures LIVE! Concert Series.
“Wild Adventures has a long history of bringing top-tier entertainment to our guests, and this show is no exception,” said Jon Vigue, vice president and general manager of Wild Adventures. “We are honored to host Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson, two of country music’s most dynamic performers. It’s going to be an unforgettable night.”
Big & Rich rose to fame in 2003 with their genre-blending sound and irreverent style. The duo’s triple-platinum debut album, Horse of a Different Color, included hits like “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” and set the tone for a career defined by musical innovation and energetic performances. John Rich and Big Kenny have earned a reputation as boundary-pushing entertainers, known for crafting a sound that is both instantly recognizable and uniquely their own.
Joining them is GRAMMY Award-winning artist Gretchen Wilson, who shot to stardom with her debut single “Redneck Woman.” Wilson’s powerful voice and unfiltered authenticity made her a cultural force, earning her multiple awards from the Academy of Country Music, Country Music Association, Billboard and more. A bestselling author and recent winner of “The Masked Singer,” Wilson remains a staple in the country music scene.
The concert will begin at 8 p.m. and is included with park admission. Season Passholders receive complimentary General Concert Admission, while Reserved Concert Seats are available at a discount for Gold and Diamond Passholders. Guests without a 2025 Season Pass can purchase General Concert Admission for $10 and Reserved Concert Seats starting at $15 in addition to park admission.
Before the show, guests are invited to explore the park’s all-new Water’s Edge area, featuring three new rides, a brand-new reptile house, and live music at the Water’s Edge Stage.
“Water’s Edge brings an incredible new energy to Wild Adventures,” Vigue said. “It’s the perfect place for families to explore, unwind by the lake, and enjoy new attractions before capping the evening with a world-class concert.”
Wild Adventures LIVE! concerts, access to Splash Island Waterpark, and unlimited park visits are all included with a 2025 Season Pass, available now at WildAdventures.com.
