For the second year in a row, the Faster Horses Festival will return to the Brooklyn International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan, July 18-20. The Faster Horses Festival is a three day, overnight event that is jam-packed with performances by the some of the hottest stars in country music. It is described by many as one big hillbilly sleepover.

This year’s lineup includes headliners Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert, and Keith Urban. These three artists will each perform on separate nights as the main events of the festival. Up and coming, opening acts that perform throughout the day include Kip Moore, Cole Swindell, Jana Kramer, Cassadee Pope, Brett Eldredge, Parmalee and many more to be announced at a later date.

Junior Sarah Allmacher said, “Last year, I had a prior commitment and wasn’t able to go, but I hope to this year! Each of the artists performing has different styles and I love them all, so they should put on a great concert!”

Last year’s lineup included heartthrobs Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean, and reeled in approximately 20,000 country music fans. This year is expected to attract even more people due to the great response of last year’s crowd and the popularity of the headlining artists. It has been and will continue to be the talk of all country music fans as summer approaches.
