Faster Horses Music and Camping Festival returned to Brooklyn, Michigan, this weekend, bringing a “star-studded lineup” (Vanity Fair) including headliners Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson and HARDY.
Known as “a hotbed for country music fans” (American Songwriter) and one of summer’s most anticipated festivals, 90s style honky-tonker Zach Top kicked off the three-day event on Friday under the sun, followed by lively sets from Jackson Dean and Tyler Hubbard. The evening commenced with a video tribute to military members, featuring special clips from previous festival-goers who are currently active duty and could not make it to this year’s festival. Cody Johnson also honored our vets, singing “God Bless America” during his raucous set that had fans cheering. The energy hit a high when headliner Jelly Roll took to the stage and continued to build as he brought Tyler Hubbard on stage for a special cover of Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places” and he welcomed Cody Johnson back on stage to duet “Son of A Sinner” and “Whiskey Bent.”
Saturday morning revved up with the annual “Faster Humans” fun run around the Michigan International Speedway, where fans showcased their Faster Horses spirit as they raced around the famed race track before heading to catch the day’s stacked lineup. Packed with memorable sets across two stages, festival-goers sang along to Alexandra Kay, Sawyer Brown, and Shane Smith & The Saints. Seven-time ACM “Group of the Year” winners Old Dominion performed fan favorites to an eager crowd as the sun set. Lainey Wilson closed out Saturday night with a bang, entering the stage on top of a vintage orange truck. Along with performing hits like “Heart Like A Truck” and “Watermelon Moonshine,” Wilson invited a young fan on stage and crowned her “cowgirl of the night.”
