Country music festival will return in 2021 with the same lineup as this year's shelved fest, organizers announced Thursday

Jason Aldean, Luke Combs and Thomas Rhett will still headline Faster Horses, the fest will just have to wait a year. 

Organizers announced Thursday that July's three-day Faster Horses Festival will be postponed, lineup in tact, until July 16-18, 2021, due to the coronavirus pandemic that has halted the concert industry. 

All passes previously purchased for this year's fest, which was to be held July 17-19 at Michigan International Speedway, will be honored in 2021. 

Fans also have the option to obtain refunds, starting today. The window for refunds is open for the next 30 days.  

The rest of the 2020 lineup will return in 2021 as well. That includes Jimmie Allen, Kelsea Ballerini, Gabby Barrett, Russell Dickerson, Gone West ft. Colbie Caillat, Riley Green, HARDY, Chris Lane, Tracy Lawrence, David Lee Murphy, Jon Pardi, Carly Pearce, Mitchell Tenpenny and DeeJay Silver. 

"We promised you this lineup and we will deliver it, along with the Party of the Summer, we just need to wait a year," organizers said in a statement released Thursday.

Take a tour of the MIS infield after three days of the Faster Horses Festival - MLive.com

Posted: 21 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT

BROOKLYN, MI -- In what is turning into somewhat of an annual tradition, enjoy a tour of the infield and some campgrounds at Michigan International Speedway after three days of the Faster Horses Festival.

The self-described "three-day hillbilly sleepover" takes place in Southeast Michigan every year on the third weekend in July. While the festival is undoubtedly known for its star-studded country music lineup, it also serves as quite the 72-hour party for the some-40,000 in attendance.

Take a tour in the video embedded at the top of the page for a ride through the infield at the speedway and some nearby campsites out at MIS. As always, it's a nice encapsulation of what three days of partying looks like in addition to being a look at some big trucks and tricked-out campsites.

The photo gallery embedded below features photos capturing all the action out at MIS on Sunday, July 21.

Keith Urban headlined Faster Horses on Friday night, Toby Keith on Saturday night (actually a little after midnight Sunday) and the Zac Brown Band on Sunday. This video was taken thanks to a ride from MIS at about 12:30 p.m. Sunday.

This year's "three-day hillbilly sleepover" was the seventh annual in the Irish Hills, and has shown no signs of slowing down.

While I applaud that all the major vendors seem to be focusing on more integrated advisor and investor experiences, far too many of them are solving to that by rushing to the same unrealistic spot. They all want to be your "portal" or your "one stop shop." What we need instead are industry standards for the exchange of complex data (like financial plans, proposals, and performance data) so that it isn't only easier to integrate different best-of-breed systems together, but it's easier for advisors to move with confidence betw

beyond the valley 2022 :: Article Creator All The Fun With None Of The Buzz, The Story Behind Montana's Only Non-alcoholic Bar Hold My Bar is a fascinating blend of contradictions. It's a bar that observes Dry January all year, serving zero-proof and non-alcoholic drinks. But it's not just any bar — it's a 1976 horse trailer transformed into a prohibition-era oasis. And despite its modest Instagram following, Hold My Bar has a dedicated fan base that travels to farmers markets in Whitefish, Columbia Falls, and Kalispell for a taste of its refreshing concoctions. Since February, Hold My Bar, Montana's first non-alcoholic bar, has been a hub of community activity. From its vintage horse trailer, uniquely named beverages like "The Witch Doctor" and "Magical Rose Margarita" are served al fresco, both in the Flathead Valley during weekday markets as well as at pop-up locations across the state.

sarasota music festival :: Article Creator Musicians Playing By Ear In Improvised Sarasota Music Festival Concerts Cellist Mike Block has warm memories of the two summers he spent studying and performing as a fellow at the Sarasota Music Festival in 2003 and 2004. "It was the combination of the music, the people and the weather. The Sarasota Music Festival was the only festival I ever returned to when I was student age," Block said. He's returning for the first time this summer as a faculty member who plans to shake things up and hopefully change how the participants – and audiences – think about and perform music. Block began exploring improvisation and non-Western music during his undergraduate years at Cleveland Institute of Music and while earning his graduate degree at Juilliard, and since then, "my professional direction has taken me very explicitly away from Western classical music.
