Route 91 country fest releases day-by-day schedule

Some country die-hards will be all-in for every minute of the second Route 91 Harvest festival, while others have jobs, lives, hurtin' livers and all those things they write country songs about.

For the latter, the festival set for Oct. 2 to 4 has released its full lineup and schedule, which will be of some help for those who must limit their drinkin' and cheatin' songs to a day or two.

However, you still have to buy in for all three days. At this point, ticketing choices are limited to a $199 general-admisson pass for all three days.

The music runs from 2:30 or 3 p.m. on two stages all three days, on outdoor grounds across the Strip from Mandalay Bay. Here are the headliner highlights:

Friday's main stage closer is Florida Georgia Line at 9:50 p.m., with lead-up sets from Easton Corbin at 6:40 p.m. and Thomas Rhett at 8:10 p.m.

Saturday brings the tripple whammy of Gary Allan at 7:10 p.m., Lady Antebellum at 8:40 p.m. and Keith Urban at 10:20 p.m.

Sunday's grand finale headliner is Tim McGraw at 10:30 p.m., with buildup from Brett Eldredge at 7:20 p.m. and Jake Owen at 8:50 p.m.

Other performers include Gloriana, Frankie Ballard, Joe Nichols, Jon Pardi, The Cadillac Three and Chase Rice. You can find the full lineup for two stages here.
