Overland Park, KS., June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
Kustom Entertainment, Inc. (KUST-NASDAQ), a live entertainment and music festival company (“Kustom” or the “Company”), today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kustom 440, Inc., entered into a partnership with Ruffin Properties, LLC, owner of Gilley’s Park City (“Gilley’s”) to produce and host music festivals throughout the spring, summer, and fall seasons beginning in 2027, with select events planned for fall 2026.
Country Stampede Kansas celebrates its 30th anniversary on June 25-27, 2026, in Bonner Springs, Kansas. As part of the agreement, the 2027 edition of Country Stampede Kansas will be held at Gilley’s from June 25-27, 2027, marking a major next chapter for one of the region’s leading country music festivals while enhancing the experience Country Stampede fans know and love.
The move to Gilley’s will allow Kustom to nearly double the capacity of its current venue and host shows for up to 35,000 people. The added space will give Kustom the ability to expand and customize the festival experience with larger crowds, camping, food and beverage options, and other on-site amenities including more premium fan experiences.
The partnership will bring a new festival experience to Park City, KS, a suburb of Wichita, and is expected to include more than 20 show days in 2027. The events will feature live music, camping, food and beverage options, and other festival amenities designed to create a full destination experience for fans, artists, and the surrounding community.
Patrons attending the 2026 Country Stampede Kansas will receive the first look at what the future festival experience at Gilley’s will include. Kustom plans to showcase early details of the Park City festival concept during the 2026 Country Stampede in Bonner Springs. When tickets go on sale for 2027, current ticket holders will also have early access before the general public. Tickets to 2026 Country Stampede Kansas in Bonner Springs, KS can be purchased at
