This story has been updated with new information.
The popular country music festival, Faster Horses, canceled its 2026 concert-camping event for the second year in a row, concert officials said in a Facebook post Wednesday, March 4.
“While the festival will not take place this year, we are proud of the memories created and the impact it has had on live music in Michigan,” the Facebook post said.
Faster Horses declined to comment on why it won’t be running in 2026.
The Michigan International Speedway — located in Brooklyn in southern Michigan where the festival typically takes place — did not respond to requests.
In 2025, the festival was cancelled “to make plans for a bigger and better Faster Horses for our fans who deserve the absolute best,” according to its Facebook page.
“We remain grateful to the fans, artists, partners and the Michigan International Speedway community who have supported Faster Horses over the years,” festival officials on March 4.
Here’s what to know about Faster Horses.
