Rascal Flatts
will organize Flatts Fest, a multi-artist music festival, to launch in
early July, band member Joe Don Rooney told CMT Radio during a Friday morning (Dec. 17) interview. "It's definitely going
to be a multiple-artist bill for sure," he said. "It's going to be some big names. It's going to be a lot of fun. It's just
going to be a big party." He added, "Country really hasn't had like a Lollapalooza. There's a Buzzfest that happens here in
Nashville. There's Ozzfest that happens nationally. ... We [thought], 'Let's do a Flatts Fest. Let's invite some big name
artists out and just have fun and let the fans enjoy a big day of music, a big night." Specific information about the festival
hasn't been confirmed, but Rooney said, "It's going to be pretty cool. We haven't really announced who's going to be out with
us yet, but it'll be a blast."
