Special Notice: The City of Canton received unfortunate news earlier this week that Mark Chesnutt will no longer be able to perform as a headliner at River Rock Music Fest on Sat., July 27, due to health reasons. “It is with a heavy heart that I announce the cancellation of my upcoming shows,” announced Chesnutt. "I send my love and gratitude to my family and friends, the band and fans for your understanding, prayers and support, and look forward to seeing you all again soon at a honky tonk near you.” The City plans to work with Chesnutt's management company to secure a replacement headliner in the coming weeks. The new headliner announcement will be made soon.
