Field & Stream Music Fest organizers have announced that due to “circumstances beyond our control,” the 2025 edition won’t go ahead in October. This is the second year in a row the festival has been canceled.
The line-up:
Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd were among the big names expected to appear at the event in Winnsboro, South Carolina.
Refunds:
Organizers have stated the refund process will “commence immediately.”
In addition to receiving their money back, passholders will be enrolled in Field & Stream magazine’s rewards plan, which offers a $15 merch credit.
Industry trend:
As Digital Music News points out, while festivals canceling, postponing or taking a year off is becoming increasingly common – even Coachella experienced softer ticket sales this year – country festivals in particular are suffering, with Faster Horses Music Festival and Country Roads Music Festival canceling their 2025 installments.
