Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan and Miranda Lambert lead a star-studded lineup for the fifth anniversary year of Faster Horses Festival.
The performers already announced for the festival include Lauren Alaina, Bobby Bones & The Raging Idiots, Charlie Daniels Band, Craig Campbell, Dan + Shay, Brett Eldredge, High Valley, Jon Pardi, Maddie & Tae, Old Dominion, Randy Rogers Band, Michael Ray, Darius Rucker and Cole Swindell. More performers will be announced in the coming weeks.
“Last July, Brian O’Connell called me while he was at Faster Horses and asked if I would want to return for the fifth year,” said Dierks Bentley. “It’s one of my favorites memories on the road, and I can’t wait to get back on that stage. We’re gonna go out and try to blow their minds for the fifth anniversary.”
Taking place in Brooklyn, MI from 21st – 23rd July 2017, the festival’s passes will go on sale on 27th February 2017 at 10am ET from fasterhorsesfestival.com.
“Heading into the fifth year of Faster Horses is a crazy thought, but one that I am extremely proud of,” said Brian O’Connell, President of Country Touring at Live Nation. “Our team set out with a specific plan, to build a community of fans that gather once a year to celebrate country music, but more importantly, the true mission was to have Faster Horses be unique to everyone who attends. We have witnessed people who have attended create friendships, shared stories with fans about how their groups get together all year long after meeting at the Festival, and how it even brings those that have moved to places far from the area home for the Party of the Summer. I can’t wait for the fifth anniversary to get going, and to witness what comes next. We may be in the dead of winter now, but just talking about Faster Horses brings a smile to our faces, and makes it feel like summer is right around the corner.”
Ceremoniously opening the gates with the World Famous Budweiser Clydesdales, fans can kick off each day with “DeeJay Silver’s Pancake Party,” a brunch event to indulge with fellow campmates while sipping mimosas with a pregame-perfect soundtrack. The “Campsite Contest” will also return, as well as the good-natured “Faster Humans Fun Run” following its successful launch last year.
On Sunday, fans can mark the last day of festivities, by visiting the newly introduced “The Hustle & Muscle Classic Car & Truck Show” onsite. With more to be announced, further information on activities can be found at www.fasterhorsesfestival.com/experience/
