Rascal Flatts Lead Gary LeVox Headlines Lancaster Festival's Premier Concert July 26
LANCASTER, Ohio – The Lancaster Festival Board of Directors is excited to announce that the headlining artist for its Premier Concert on July 26 at the Ohio University Lancaster Wendel Concert Stage will be central Ohio’s own Gary LeVox, co-founder and lead singer of Rascal Flatts.
Gary LeVox, along with bandmates Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney, founded Rascal Flatts in 2000 and they went on to enjoy one of the most successful careers in modern country music. Infusing the genre’s traditional sound with massive pop hooks, rock showmanship and faithful positivity, they scored 18 No. 1 singles and sold over 25 million albums. They have sold more than 11 million concert tickets and earned 40+ awards-show trophies, making them one of the most-awarded country groups of the last decade.
In 2025, Rascal Flatts has a new single called “I Dare You” with the Jonas Brothers, as well as a Rascal Flatts Headlining Tour. Up next: solo music from Gary LeVox and his own tour that will include all the Rascal Flatts hit songs and his legendary voice.
The board previously announced that its August 2nd Finale Concert will feature two headliners for the first time in Festival history: Grammy-winning artist Colbie Caillat and folk-rock band Dawes. Additionally, the popular Wednesday-night tribute band, performing on July 30, is hair band rock tribute Hairball.
The Lancaster Festival Orchestra will open each Saturday night concert under Music Director John Devlin, who will be conducting his first Lancaster Festival season with the orchestra. Dazzling fireworks will close out each Saturday evening performance.
Tickets will go on sale May 1 for events taking place during the 10-day celebration of music, art and community. A full schedule of events will be released in the coming months and more information will be released as it becomes available at www.lancasterfestival.org.
