BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Country singer-songwriter Ty Myers will play the Wind Creek Steel Stage at PNC Plaza on Saturday, Aug. 7, 2027, the first headliner ArtsQuest has named for next year’s Musikfest, the nonprofit announced Monday.
The show is one of 10 nightly headliner dates ArtsQuest lists on the Musikfest website for the Aug. 6-15 festival; the other nine acts have not been announced.
Tickets went on sale Monday to ArtsQuest Circle Donors. Members can buy them starting Tuesday, Nov. 3, and the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 6, at ArtsQuest.org, according to ArtsQuest’s release and Musikfest’s announcement. ArtsQuest has not posted ticket prices.
The concert is presented with media partner Cat Country 96.
Myers, 19, was born outside Austin, Texas, and grew up on his family’s cattle ranch. His debut album, “The Select,” came out on Columbia Records, and its single “Ends of the Earth” is certified platinum.
He released his second album, “Heavy on the Soul,” in March and joined Luke Combs on Combs’ My Kinda Saturday Night stadium tour this year. Ahead of the album, he released “Leaving Carolina,” “Through a Screen,” “Come On Over, Baby” and “Two Trains,” featuring Marcus King, according to ArtsQuest.
Myers first drew attention online in 2023 with his song “Tie That Binds.”
The 2027 festival poster is by Lehigh Valley illustrator and graphic designer Kelly Sulca Hernandez. ArtsQuest said the design, inspired in part by seek-and-find books, shows Bethlehem as a music city, with performers on amplifiers and turntables and hidden details to find.
Musikfest drew 1,260,630 people in 2026, the third-highest total in the festival’s history, according to ArtsQuest. That is about 13% below the record of about 1.45 million set in 2025.
