The Faster Horses Festival, a staple of Michigan’s country music scene since 2013, will not be held in 2025, organizers announced. The event, which takes place annually at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan, will take a pause this summer in order to plan for a larger and improved festival experience in the future.

In a statement posted to social media, the festival organizers shared: “We have made the decision to pause Faster Horses Festival in 2025. We are taking the year to make plans for a bigger and better Faster Horses for our fans who deserve the absolute best. We love our friends at Michigan International Speedway, the community, and all those behind the scenes. While we hope to bring you something in the future, for now we encourage you to keep the community strong and support live music in Michigan!”

The festival, hosted by Live Nation, has grown into one of the most prominent country music events in the United States, known for its star-studded lineups that have included Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Jason Aldean, and Keith Urban. It typically offers a three-day celebration of country music, with food trucks, vendors, and activities such as giant beer pong, foam parties, and tailgate games, earning it the moniker “The Party of the Summer.”

Faster Horses also draws large crowds of campers who stay on-site in tents and RVs. However, the festival has faced scrutiny over security concerns in recent years, with several reported incidents including sexual assaults and a tragic carbon monoxide poisoning event in 2021 that resulted in the deaths of three festival-goers.

The cancellation follows a similar announcement last month regarding the USA Concerts Tailgate ‘N Tallboys festival, which also will not take place in 2025. As the country music festival scene continues to evolve, fans will have to wait until future announcements for the return of Faster Horses.
