Last year, the festival was canceled due to Hurricane Helene. That year’s lineup was to feature Lainey Wilson, Church and ZZ Top, among others.

In early 2024, it was revealed that Church and Morgan Wallen were part of an ownership group that acquired the retail side of the Field & Stream trademark. That announcement also revealed plans to launch a fall music festival.

“I can remember my grandfather kept a few of his favorite Field & Stream magazines on the dash of his truck,” Church previously said in a statement. “That truck took us on hundreds of outdoor adventures and I all but memorized every story and every picture on every page. They were my Bible. It is the honor of my life to make sure that legacy carries on. It is both this responsibility to an American icon and also to a young boy in his papaw’s truck that will be the compass that guides our steps.” 

Wallen previously said, “There’s nothin’ I love more than being with friends around a campfire, on a boat or in a deer stand — and Field & Stream represents all of those to me. Being part of its future is incredible and we want to keep bringing people together outdoors, makin’ memories, for generations to come.” 

Lana Del Rey’s country album is still cooking. According to a new cover interview with W, the singer’s long-delayed set is now called Stove and will come out in January.
Most recently scheduled to come out this past spring, Del Rey decided to postpone the album to add six songs.

“They were more autobiographical than I thought, and that took more time,” she told W. “The majority of the album will have a country flair. Eight years ago, when I was looking to make a country record, no one else was thinking about country,” she said, adding that she then contemplated putting out an album of covers called Country & Western but instead began writing originals. “Now everyone is going country! I’ve asked myself, Should I retire all my snakeskin boots? Should I put my cowboy hats in storage?”

Del Rey first teased her country album in January 2024 at the Billboard x NMPA Songwriter Awards event, announcing the title was Lasso and that it would come out in September 2024. “We’re going country!” she declared. “It’s happening.”

However, in October, after the proposed release date had come and gone, Del Rey said on an In Style red carpet that a shift in the “musical atmosphere” had led her to pause the project, which she collaborated on with producers Jack Antonoff, Luke Laird, Zachary Dawes and Drew Erickson. “The songs I have I love; I don’t want to turn it into something that’s half-cooked.”

The pause was short-lived: Last November, Del Rey posted on Instagram that her album, now called The Right Person Will Stay would come out on May 21, though that date passed without the album’s release. “So grateful that my 13 tracks came together with my beautiful work between Luke, Jack, Zach and Drew Erickson amongst others,” the singer-songwriter wrote at the time. “Happy for you to hear a few songs coming up before Stagecoach. Starting with Henry. Love always.”

In April, she released the ethereal, acoustic guitar track now called “Henry, Come On,” which she debuted live at Stagecoach the same month, along with “Stars Fell in Alabama,” a song written for her new husband, Jeremy Dufrene.
