The Desert Sky Music Festival is getting ready to gallop back into town. The outdoor country music festival, which is being put on by Arizona concert and event promoter Forty8 Live, will take place on Saturday, Nov. 23 at Riverview Park in Mesa.

And now we know who’s headlining the event.

Last week, promoters announced country pop singer-songwriter Walker Hayes will top the lineup of the Desert Sky Music Festival. The Grammy-nominated recording artist is best known for such hit songs as “AA” and “U Gurl,” "You Broke Up with Me" and “Fancy Like,” which won Billboard Music Awards

Fellow country singer-songwriters Spencer Crandall, the Denver-born artist who rose to fame on TikTok, and Matt Farris will also perform at the festival.
