DURANT, Okla., (November 9, 2021) – The countdown to 2022 officially begins, as Choctaw Casino & Resort – Durant is announcing the New Year’s weekend performers! Taking the stage at the Grand Theater, chart-topping Country star Dustin Lynch on Friday, Dec. 31 and rock band Halestorm on Saturday, Jan. 1, 2022.

His power duet “Thinking ‘Bout You” featuring MacKenzie Porter is nearing top five at country radio, as his fourth studio album, TULLAHOMA, has delivered consecutive chart-toppers: platinum “Ridin’ Roads” and gold “Good Girl” – both co-written by Lynch, in addition to top five hit “Momma’s House.” Continuing to drop some of the genre’s hottest collaborations, he’s also released “Huntin’ Land” featuring Riley Green and “Tequila On A Boat” featuring Chris Lane, plus Country classics “Not Every Cowboy” and “Pasadena,” with more music on the way.

Since his platinum breakout “Cowboys and Angels” in 2012, Lynch’s headlined packed venues and toured with Country’s biggest names like Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line and Brad Paisley.
