Country music is taking center stage once again as Country Clash: Battle of the Bands returns for its highly anticipated second year on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at Homestead Park in Williston. This free, high-energy event will showcase North Central Florida’s top country musicians as they compete live for a $1,000 cash prize and the coveted title of 2026 Country Clash Champion.
After an electrifying debut year, expectations are high. Last year’s winners, The Palmetto Kickers, set the bar with their powerful sound, undeniable swagger, and crowd-commanding performance. Now, a new lineup of rising country bands is preparing to take the stage… each determined to claim the crown and earn bragging rights across North Central Florida.
“This isn’t just a battle of the bands… it’s a full-blown country music festival,” said event organizers with Premier Events NCF. “Country Clash brings together incredible talent, a passionate community, and an unforgettable live music experience.”
In addition to the live competition, attendees can enjoy a variety of food and snack vendors, a large outdoor beer and wine bar, axe throwing, arts and crafts vendors and 9-hole tiny golf.
Country Clash: Battle of the Bands is FREE and open to the public, making it a must-attend event for country music fans, families, and supporters of local talent.
Bands and vendors interested in participating are encouraged to register early, as spots are limited.
