Mark your calendars, beanbag tossers and country music lifers — Craig Campbell’s 12th Annual Celebrity Cornhole Challenge is back, and this year’s lineup is stacked deeper than the merch table at a sold-out show. The event takes over 6th & Peabody in downtown Nashville on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the best part? Fans can actually buy their way into the action.

Bidding opens Friday, May 1, 2026 at 9 a.m. CDT, giving fans the chance to partner up with one of 28 celebrity teams competing for the trophy — and, more importantly, year-long bragging rights at every backyard cookout from here to next June.

The confirmed celebrity roster reads like a who’s-who of Nashville’s most likeable troublemakers. Craig Campbell will be there, of course, alongside Mindy Campbell, Preslee Campbell, and Kinni Campbell. Joining the Campbell crew are Jerrod Niemann, Thompson Square’s Keifer and Shawna Thompson, Austin Bever and Colin Cooper of Austin & Colin, Adam Sanders, Waka Flocka, Allie Colleen, Jake Hoot, Bigg Vinny, Filmore, The Tolers, Noah Peters, Tayler Holder, Whey Jennings, Lewis Brice, Gracee Shrivers, Tori Rose, Miles Burris, and Trent Ellis. More names are being added on May 1, so the bidding war should get interesting fast.

If tossing bags isn’t your thing, a very limited run of 25 VIP ticket packages is available for $250 (plus fees). Each VIP package includes an exclusive viewing area, a meet-and-greet group photo with the celebrities, two drink tickets, and a Sponsor Swag Bag — basically the cornhole equivalent of an all-access laminate.

And here’s where it gets even better: immediately after the trophy presentation, Craig and several of the participating artists will headline a free concert. Yes, free. All proceeds from the tournament and silent auction benefit the Kenny Campbell Foundation, the nonprofit Craig founded in honor of his father, who lost his battle with colorectal cancer at just 36 years old. The foundation raises funds for research hospitals and doctors working toward a cure and better preventative care for the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S.

Big thanks go to the confirmed sponsors keeping this thing rolling: 6th & Peabody, Double A Productions, Rios Of Mercedes, Greeley Hatworks, Crosslin Building Supply, Vitahl, TETRA, and Estrada.
