AUSTIN (KXAN) — Country music stars are coming to Austin in May for the iHeartCountry Music Festival.

The festival, in its ninth year, will feature Carrie Underwood, Zac Brown Band, Thomas Rhett, Maren Morris, Dustin Lynch, Jimmie Allen, Scotty McCreery, Cody Johnson and many more acts for its first time at the Moody Center.
