Country Thunder Arizona is a huge event. In 2023, it drew an average of 25,000 people a day to Canyon Moon Ranch in Florence. In 2024, the biggest draw was Jelly Roll, who announced in the midst of his performance that he'd been told he was playing to 26,000 people. And When Morgan Wallen played in 2022, the daily attendance was closer to 34,000.
