One of Europe’s biggest country music events, C2C was first launched in March 2013 at The O2, London as a two day event with Carrie Underwood and Tim McGraw as headliners. This was Tim McGraw’s first UK appearance. Outside of the arena a small amount of free Pop Up Stages presented local country acts.
In 2014 C2C launched in Dublin O2 (now 3Arena) taking place on the same weekend as the London event, with artists switching venues each day. Headliners in London and Dublin in 2014 were Brad Paisley and the Zac Brown Band. The Dixie Chicks also performed – their first UK performance in 8 years. CMA Songwriters Series and after show parties were added in London, and the Shires and Ward Thomas first performed on the Pop Up Stages.
In 2016 C2C grew into three days and added C2C Glasgow at the Clyde Auditorium. Headliners that year included Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood and Eric Church. Chris Stapleton also made his UK and Ireland debut. In London artists including Maren Morris and Charles Esten – from the TV Show Nashville – performed on the new artist stage in the arena now named The Yamaha Music Stage. New stages outside of the arena included the Bluebird Café, BBC Radio 2 Country Stage and the Late Night Sounds Like Nashville Stage.
2017 saw C2C turning 5 reaching over 80,000 fans across three days in London, Glasgow and Dublin. 2018’s event promises to be the biggest yet, with tickets for all the shows going on sale from 10am on Friday, 20 October 2017.
