Bentley announces Seven Peaks fest
The festival will be held over three days with multiple stages and a campground in Buena Vista, Col from Aug. 31-Sept. 2.
Bentley will take the stage several times over the course of the weekend. Brothers Osborne, Elle King, LANCO, Del McCoury, Sam Bush and The Cadillac Three were the first announced artists to play, with more to be revealed in the coming weeks. Three-day passes go on-sale beginning April 20 at 10 a.m. Mountain time.
"This is a dream come true for me. It's no secret that I love everything about Colorado...the fans, the venues we've played and of course, the landscape," Bentley said. "We are bringing it all together with this festival. It's our own 'field of dreams,' where we are putting everything we have into it, with no details overlooked, in hopes it is the ultimate festival experience. I personally will be right in there with our fans listening to best musicians, taking advantage of the unlimited outdoor opportunities including hiking, biking and playing in the river and lake...or maybe just sitting with a cold one all day in the Colorado sunshine and under the Rocky Mountain stars."
"Seven Peaks Music Festival is something Dierks and I, along with our teams have been cooking up for a while," said Brian O'Connell, President of Country Touring at Live Nation. "We wanted to continue to make everything about this project unique in the festival landscape, from the lineup to the setting to what fans will be able to do onsite. As soon as we stepped on the grounds in Buena Vista, we were just blown away, it feels other-worldly out there and I can't wait for more people to get to experience that. The site is absolutely breathtaking, and we feel that we will only add to Colorado's rich history of unreal music settings. A true country music and camping festival, developed in collaboration with Dierks, one of the most respected artists in our community, is far and away the most innovative festival projects ever taken on, and I am honored to be involved in this project!"
Bentley is releasing a new album, "The Mountain," later this year with the single "Woman, Amen" already out.

CD reviews for Dierks Bentley
Dierks Bentley opens his first self-produced album with a song about personally stability, "Same Ol' Me." Although its lyric explains how while life circumstances may change, Bentley basically remains the same person. The same thing, though, can also be said about the country star's music. He's been recording for 20 years now. Yet Bentley has come this far with his integrity still intact. He's back with a strong, 14-song set that, like a good beverage, feels good ...
Dierks Bentley seems intent on expanding his musical boundaries, but he may have overreached too much in eschewing where he came from.
That most evident by the dominating textured beats. Producer Ross Copperman and Bentley seem hell bent on injecting odd meters and sounds, sharp detours from past efforts. Unfortunately, the atmospheric beats muddy up the vocal delivery on "Freedom," a song that stretches far too long at almost four minutes. Bentley also channels U2 with its ...
Change was in store for Dierks Bentley when it came to recording his seventh album, "Riser." On the personal front, he lost his father and added to his family, clearly affecting the subject matter of his latest. On the musical front, he traded long-time producer Brett Beavers, producer of every disc except "Up on the Ridge," for Ross Copperman, who has enjoyed more success as a writer, including several previous tracks for Bentley.
