Country Thunder Texas shows canceled
Sunday, May 25, 2008 – The Country Thunder USA festival slated to host Tim McGraw and Pat Green in Texas next weekend was cancelled due to poor ticket sales. The decision had no effect on a sister festival slated for July 16-19 in Wisconsin with Taylor Swift, Sugarland, Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert and Sara Evans.

A third Country Thunder event already occurred in April in Florence, Ariz., featuring Sugarland, Neal McCoy, Phil Vassar and Jason Michael Carroll.
