Thousands of country fans gathered for one of the most popular festivals in the country. Faster Horses this past weekend included three beautiful days in Brooklyn, Michigan, at Michigan International Speedway.
Jelly Roll headlined day one and had the crowd buzzing with his love and appreciation for the fans who traveled to Michigan for his performance. So many people have expressed their connection to his songs and the profound impact they have. He opened his set with "the lost" and "halfway to hell." He mentioned Michigan being "a home away from home" and brought various artists on stage including Cody Johnson and Tyler Hubbard during his performance. The way he resonates with his fans is very inspiring for anyone chasing their dreams or fighting any battles within themselves. He even dedicated a song, "She," to a fan. He pointed out to the crowd and sang right to her, making for an unforgettable night.
Lainey Wilson headlined day two and entered her show on a vintage truck playing her top hits and even invited a fan on stage for "Cowgirl of the Night" making a statement to empower and uplift women through her music. Alexandra Kay, Shane Smith and The Saints, Old Diminion also put on electric performances during the day Saturday.
On Sunday, an up and coming artist Samantha McKaige set the tone for day three with her band despite a few difficulties traveling to the festival. She covered a popular song by Lady Antebellum called "Need You Now," evoking many fans to sing along. Other artists Sunday included Tigerlily Gold, Ashley Cooke, Riley Greene, and Kip Moore leading up to an amazing headliner set by Hardy, leaving many fans in awh with his rap, rock n' roll, and country influence. 2024 will be a memorable year for the festival and I looking forward to next year's curation.
