Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and Dierks Bentley Rock Faster Horses Fest
. This was the festival's very first year, but early estimates put the crowd at around 20,000. It's an impressive number for a new festival, but that's really no surprise, considering the top-shelf lineup. Headliners included Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean, and Luke Bryan, and the roster was rounded out by such stellar acts as Florida Georgia Line, Chris Young, Jerrod Niemann, Thompson Square, Colt Ford, Jake Owen, Thomas Rhett, and Kix Brooks. A second stage featured a handful of Nashville artists such as Will Hoge, Kelleigh Bannen, and Chris Stapleton but kept much of its focus on Michigan artists, including Gunnar and the Grizzly Boys, the Kari Lynch Band, and Frankie Ballard. According to Live Nation president Brian O'Connell, this was a deliberate move. "We wanted to keep a good portion of [the second stage] Michigan-centric or regional-centric and then add a little bit of spice with some national artists to make sure we had a good balance. There would be nothing cooler than to break an act from Michigan out of Faster Horses." More including photos. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
