MANSON — The musical lineup for Crash My Crater this summer will feature big-time acts along with local performers.

Austin Snell will headline on Saturday, June 28, at the annual event, as Austin Williams is the special guest. Jeremy Ober and Michael Wayne Schoon will open the night on the stage as part of the Manson Greater Crater Days celebration.

Gates for the event open at 5 p.m. with music starting at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now. General admission tickets are $35 with VIP costing $70. A $10 discount can be used by entering promo code CMC2025 before May 1.

“We are thrilled for another year of Manson’s Crash My Crater,” said Jesse Grossnickle, the owner of Shore Side Pub and Grub who has taken over booking the musical acts for the event. “This will be our eighth year bringing a Nashville country artist to downtown Manson. Austin (Snell) is a rising star in the country rock scene who is known for his gritty vocals and authentic songwriting.

“Austin (Williams) is bringing his signature sound and high-energy performance to our stage. With a mix of country and rock influences, we promise, this will be a concert you don’t want to miss.”

Snell, a SiriusXM Highway Find like fellow musicians Maren Morris and Luke Combs, is from Dudley, Georgia. Prior to finding his voice and a guitar, he was in the Air Force.

With hit songs such as “Excuse the Mess,” “Muddy Water Rockstar,” “Wasting All These Tears” and “Whiskey Me,” Snell has found a calling with his blend of country and rock-and-roll.

Snell has released two albums, with a third, “Still Bleeding,” set to be put out later this year by the 27-year-old.

Williams, born and raised near Nashville, made a name for himself with several remixes, as the latest, “Tha Crossroads,” is inspired from the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony hit of the same title.

Later this year, Williams is scheduled to open for multi-time Grammy winner Darius Rucker.

Ober is from Farnhamville, while Schoon is a native of Manson.

Previous headline acts for the event include Warren Zeiders, Chris Janson, Riley Green, Travis Denning and Niko Moon.

Tickets can be purchased at crashmycrater2025.eventbrite.com. They will also be available in May at Shore Side Pub and Grub in Manson and Hy-Vee in Fort Dodge.
