For the second year in a row, the Field & Stream Music Fest has been canceled.
According to a statement posted to the festival’s official Instagram account, the event will no longer take place in 2025.
“Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, Field & Stream Music Fest has been canceled,” the statement read. “The refund process will commence immediately and will cover all Field & Stream purchases tied to your order, including tickets, upgrades, camping, parking, add-ons, taxes, and fees.”
The three-day event was scheduled for October 3–5, 2025, in Winnsboro, South Carolina. More than 40 artists were slated to perform, including headliners Miranda Lambert, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Riley Green, Eric Church, and Bailey Zimmerman. The lineup also featured artists such as Tyler Farr, Cole Goodwin, Kameron Marlowe, Ashland Craft, Larry Fleet, David Lee Murphy, and more.
Fans who purchased tickets can visit the festival’s official website for details on refunds. The site notes that “refund checks are being sent out and will be mailed to the name and address on file.”
The festival experience was also set to include themed villages like the Ugly Stik Fish On America Village with pro fishing tips and casting competitions, and the onX Hunt Village featuring outdoor gear and expert-led demos. Sports fans could have enjoyed the GameWatch Football Showdown Village with live games, activities, and a full bar. Other planned activities included trophy fishing, archery, mountain biking, off-road tours, and exploring the Field & Stream Expo with gear and interactive exhibits.
The 2025 event was to follow the postponement of the inaugural 2024 festival, which was canceled due to the impacts of Hurricane Helene.
“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the postponement of the inaugural Field & Stream Music Fest…due to Hurricane Helene,” a statement on the festival’s official Instagram account read last year. “Given the state of emergency and challenging conditions on the ground, this decision has been made out of an abundance of caution.”
The first-ever Field & Stream Fest was unveiled shortly after the announcement that Eric Church and Morgan Wallen joined forces to spearhead the revival of Field & Stream, the iconic outdoor lifestyle brand with a legacy dating back to 1871.
