Country music superstar Cole Swindell will perform Nov. 14 in Bartow, and the opening act will be an up-and-coming country singer and songwriter who is well known to Polk County.

McCoy Moore, a Lakeland native who released his debut album in May after years of writing hits for other country stars, will open Bartow Ford's Concert on the Lot on Nov. 14.

The concert series takes place at the dealership, 2800 U.S. 98 N, Bartow. Parking opens at 2:30 p.m., and gates open at 5 p.m. General admission tickets are $45, and children younger than 5 are free.

Over the past 12 years, Swindell has earned 13 No. 1 singles as an artist and 14 as a songwriter. Twelve of those chart-toppers are RIAA-certified Platinum. Fans can expect favorites including “Chillin’ It,” “You Should Be Here,” “Ain’t Worth The Whiskey,” “Break Up In The End,” “Single Saturday Night” and “Never Say Never,” featuring Lainey Wilson.

His five-week No. 1 hit, “She Had Me At Heads Carolina,” went 3X Platinum and earned three ACM Awards, including Single of the Year and Song of the Year. His latest album, "Spanish Moss," produced his most recent No. 1 single, “Forever To Me.”

Moore's debut album, "Sunshine State," celebrates his Florida roots and has introduced his music to audiences nationwide. Moore has seen more than 32 million global streams, a Grand Ole Opry debut this spring and tour appearances alongside HARDY, Kip Moore and Chase Rice.

Bartow Ford’s parking lot opens at 2:30 p.m., with spaces available first-come, first-served. Additional parking will be available at the Polk County Administration Building parking garage, 360 W. Church St. in Bartow, and designated nearby parking areas. A complimentary shuttle will run throughout the evening between the parking areas and concert.

Bartow Ford and US 103.5 are giving away a new 2026 Ford F-150 STX 4x4, with the winner selected at the concert. Fans may stop by the concert between 4 and 6 p.m. for a final opportunity to win concert tickets and qualify on-site.

A parking map, tickets and complete event information are available on the official Bartow Ford Concert on the Lot website.

Bartow Ford, which was started in 1948 by Ernest Smith, was purchased in September by Crossroads Automotive Group, which owns 17 dealerships in North Carolina, South Carolina and now Florida.
