There is a country music festival in Mirande in France.

I know nothing about country music.

Would someone be able to tell me who the big names are who have played here.

There is a list here

Mostly home grown frog & Euro C&W
But ones that jump out at me are mostly from the blues, rockabilly, R&B side of the Country Spectrum, plus one or two legends and at least one very left field in Screamin Jay Hawkins

Tommy Cash,Johnny Cash's wee brother
Carl Perkin, Blue Suede Shoes Fame
Screamin Jay Hawkins, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screamin'_Jay_Hawkins
Freddie Fingers Lee. UK Rockabilly legend
Jerry Lee Lewis, Pianist (could carry a tune)
Murray Head, "one night in Bangkok"
Bill Wyman & the Rhythm Kings, Ex Stones Bassist
Albert Lee & Hogans Heroes Former Heads Hands & Feet. played with just about everyone
Sleepy LaBeef, Cajun/Rockabilly legend
