Field & Stream Music Fest Announces 2025 Lineup Including Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Riley Green & More
A star-studded lineup.
This morning, Field & Stream Music Festival announced their 2025 lineup, which will be the inaugural addition of the festival after it was cancelled last year in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which ripped through the Carolinas and caused unprecedented devastation in nearby western North Carolina.
Slated to take place October 3rd through the 5th, 2025 in Winnsboro, South Carolina, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Riley Green, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and ZZ Top will headline the weekend, which is an absolute dream and will be one of the best we see this year as far as festival headliners go.
Additionally, Bailey Zimmerman, Shane Smith & The Saints, Kameron Marlowe, Larry Fleet, Tyler Farr, Whey Jennings, Ashland Craft, Boy Named Banjo, Josh Sanders, Sadie Bass, the Davisson Brothers, Fox n’ Vead, Warrick McZeke, Aidan Canfield, Edwin McCain, David Lee Murphy, Cole Goodwin, Rut Spence, Eli Winders, Ryan Trotti, Bailey Marie, Payton Smith, Matt Tucker, Whit’s End, Nate Hosie, Maddie Rean, Taylor Richardson, Greg Parrish, Kyle Dills, Brent Underwood & Bart Lattimore, Darren Deese and DJ Slim McGraw will all be performing throughout the weekend, as well.
While it was incredible sad that they had to cancel last year's festival considering the circumstances and tragedy, this is an amazing festival and I'm excited to see how it all goes seeing that it's their first year and also in a very unique location, as festival grounds sit on a 3000-acre outdoor adventure park that will not only give fans the opportunity to see their favorite artists live, but participate in a number of outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, and shooting sports.
Last year, it was announced that Eric Church and Morgan Wallen were teaming up to revive the long struggling but iconic Field & Stream brand, which included buying the retail side back from Dick’s Sporting Goods, bringing back the Field & Stream print magazine, launching the Field & Stream 1871 Club, releasing a custom apparel line inspired by Wallen and Church, and putting on an outdoor music festival happening this fall, the latter of which obviously piqued our interest quite a bit.
Eric shared the lineup on his Instagram page, and tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday, January 10th.
"On October 5th, 2025 Eric will be headlining the inaugural Field and Stream Fest in Winnsboro, SC! Pre-sale starts Thursday, January 9th, at 10 AM ET with the general on-sale following on January 10th at 10 AM ET. Premium Church Choir members check your email for presale details.
This three-day event will showcase over 40 artists performing across multiple stages, alongside exciting on-site activities such as trophy fishing, archery and more."
This is certainly circled on my calendar...

Of course, Eric in particular is one of the key investors of the festival, and he released a song for his home state of North Carolina last fall called "Darkest Hour," with all of the proceeds, forever, going to relief efforts for those affected by Hurricane Helene.
Along with Luke Combs, he also helped raise over $25 million for various charities in the High Country that are near and dear to each of them, so I'm sure it will be an important and even emotional performance for Church as he's finally able to play his festival.
