Rooster Walk fan favorite acts are atop the festival’s first announcement for the 2027 version.
Festival organizers, in a Tuesday news release, announced Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, Andy Frasco & The U.N. and 17 other bands for Rooster Walk 17 Music & Arts Festival, May 27–30 at Pop’s Farm near Martinsville.
Fans stay hyped on Donato, a red-hot guitarist returning to the festival for the sixth consecutive year, and Frasco, a piano-mashing wildman making his third appearance there. They are two of the most requested acts in Rooster Walk’s annual fan survey, according to the news release.
The other “Early Bird” acts are Keller & The Keels, Saxsquatch, Trey Hensley Band, Dizgo, Kanika Moore Band, Bella Rayne Band, Wolph, Sol Driven Train, 65 North Pickers, Moga Family Band, Ettore Buzzini, Empire Strikes Brass, Phat Laces, Griffin, Big Fat Gap, DJ What and Hunter Rhodes Magic.
“Our fans made it clear they wanted both bands back at Pop’s Farm, and we’re thrilled to make that happen,” Rooster Walk Inc. executive director Johnny Buck said in the news release. “With so much great music already announced, and some of our biggest names still to come, we’re incredibly excited about what Rooster Walk 17 is shaping up to be.”
The festival’s top headliner and three other of its six top-billed acts remain under wraps for now, according to the release. They’ll be among about 45 artists playing about 100 sets over the four days preceding Memorial Day.
