The multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated band will take the main stage on Aug. 7 at Burl’s Creek Event Grounds in Oro-Medonte. The festival runs Aug. 7–9 and this year marks its 15th anniversary as Canada’s largest annual country music and camping event.
Known for multiple No. 1 albums and decades of chart success, the Jonas Brothers will bring their pop-rock catalogue to Canada’s largest country music and camping festival. Their booking reflects what organizers describe as a shift in how audiences engage with country and crossover acts.
Brooke Dunford, director of talent buying and business development for Republic Live, said the lineup highlights artists who have helped broaden the genre’s reach. She pointed to the Jonas Brothers’ cross-genre collaborations, including recent work with Russell Dickerson, as well as longstanding ties to Rascal Flatts and Ashley Cooke.
The weekend features three headline acts. The Chicks take the main stage Saturday, Aug. 8, followed by Rascal Flatts on Sunday, Aug. 9.
Other main stage performers include Russell Dickerson and Dasha on Friday; Jessie Murph, Waylon Wyatt and Carolyn Dawn Johnson on Saturday; and Tucker Wetmore, James Barker Band and Ashley Cooke on Sunday.
The Front Porch Stage will host Brett Kissel, Emily Anne Roberts and School House on Friday; Sam Barber, Thelma & James, The Jack Wharff Band and Tony Stevens on Saturday; and Max McNown, Kaitlin Butts, Mitch Zorn and Savannah Jade on Sunday.
Co-founder Eva Dunford said the festival remains focused on shared experiences and bringing artists together in new ways.
In 2026, organizers are also introducing two premium viewing options: Daisy Duke’s Deck VIP+ at the Main Stage and a Front Porch VIP area.
Boots and Hearts is an eight-time CCMA Country Festival of the Year winner and has also been recognized by the Academy of Country Music as Festival of the Year.
Tickets are now available via Ticketmaster.
