Michigan country music festival Faster Horses will not return this summer, organizers say.
“We have made the decision to pause Faster Horses Festival in 2025,” a message posted to social media reads.
“We are taking the year to make plans for a bigger and better Faster Horses for our fans who deserve the absolute best,” the message continues. “We love our friends at Michigan International Speedway, the community, and all of those 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 three-day festival had been hosted in Brooklyn, Michigan, since 2013. It drew tens of thousands of fans, with many camping on the grounds.
Last year’s event was held July 19-21 with headliners Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, and Hardy.
The festival came under scrutiny following multiple reports of deaths and sexual assaults, prompting investigations from MLive and Rolling Stone. Many music festivals have faced financial hardship in recent years, citing inflation and decreased consumer demand.
