Memorial Day weekend's three-day Red Fest will skew old school, bringing out acts like Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tim McGraw and Big & Rich. Red Fest will also feature host Jeff Foxworthy and long-time collaborator Larry the Cable Guy - as well as reality TV personalities from "Duck Dynasty." And, if that genre suits your fancy, the two festivals represent diverging sides of the country spectrum. The two festivals bring less musical diversity than typical Austin festivals like SXSW, ACL and Fun Fun Fun Fest go - focusing solely on one genre, rather than a menagerie. The Clear Channel-sponsored, Bobby Bones-hosted festival will descend upon the Frank Erwin Center on March 29th, making it the second country music fest planned for May 2014, after Jeff Foxworthy's Natty Light-sponsored Red Fest at Circuit of the Americas.

Today, iHeartRadio announced a one-day country festival, featuring Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and Lady Antebellum, among others.
