SILVIS, IL – Country music superstar Dierks Bentley will take the stage Saturday, July 5, at approximately 5:45 p.m. during the 2025 John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run, wrapping up this year’s Concerts on the Course series with a performance following the third round of tournament play.
The multi-GRAMMY nominated artist and three-time CMA Award winner brings two decades of chart-topping hits to the Quad Cities, including his latest single, She Hates Me, and fan favorites from a career that includes eight No. 1 albums and 22 No. 1 songs. Known for blending mainstream country with bluegrass roots, Bentley is expected to deliver an energetic and crowd-pleasing show.
Tournament director Andrew Lehman says the event is a perfect pairing of sport and music:
“The John Deere Classic couldn’t be more thrilled to have Dierks Bentley perform for our fans after Saturday’s third round at TPC Deere Run. Dierks is truly an authentic entertainer whose energy and musicianship our audience is going to know and appreciate.”
This marks the third year for Concerts on the Course, an initiative launched by title sponsor John Deere to broaden the tournament’s appeal beyond traditional golf fans.
“We think Dierks Bentley and Zac Brown Band are going to help us achieve that goal again this year,” said Mara Downing, Vice President of Global Brand and Communications for John Deere.
Both concerts will take place on a stage set to the golfer’s left of the 18th fairway, with fans seated hillside to the golfer’s right. The shows will begin shortly after the conclusion of play, similar to last year’s setup.
