In the beginning of 2024, Eric Church and Morgan Wallen announced that they have teamed up to lead the relaunch of Field & Stream, the leading outdoor lifestyle brand with roots dating back to 1871. As part of the ongoing mission to uphold the 150-year legacy of this brand, Field & Stream has unveiled plans to host its first-ever music fest.

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming festival:

Morgan Wallen & Eric Church’s Involvement In Field & Stream

As avid outdoorsmen, conservationists, and storytellers, Morgan Wallen and Eric Church teamed up to lead the resurrection of the print magazine through a membership community that allows others alike to do the same. As Church explained via a press release, this new opportunity allows to get back to their roots and step outside the noise and constant movement within their everyday lives to enjoy the pace of the outdoor space.

“I can remember my grandfather kept a few of his favorite Field & Stream magazines on the dash of his truck,” said Church. “That truck took us on hundreds of outdoor adventures and I all but memorized every story and every picture on every page. They were my Bible. It is the honor of my life to make sure that legacy carries on. It is both this responsibility to an American Icon and also to a young boy in his papaw’s truck that will be the compass that guides our steps.” 

The relaunch includes access to the Field & Stream 1871 Club, an updated digital platform, a limited-edition apparel collection inspired by Church and Wallen, and the announcement of an outdoor music festival co-produced by Southern Entertainment coming this fall.

Additionally, the pair of artists also purchased the retail side of Field & Stream from DICK’s Sporting Goods, as well as the media platform from the digital media company, Recurrent. This step enables the historic brand to come together under the same ownership for the first time in its 150-year history.

“There’s nothin’ I love more than being with friends around a campfire, on a boat or in a deer stand — and Field & Stream represents all of those to me,” Wallen added. “Being part of its future is incredible and we want to keep bringing people together outdoors, makin’ memories, for generations to come.” 

Field & Stream is expected to have a promising future ahead as the team is working to implement various ideas that will further highlight its distinctive storytelling.
