A
wide shot taken from the stage during Saturday’s proceedings shows the
enormity of the crowds over the weekend. As well as a monster lineup,
festival-goers had numerous other outlets of entertainment available to
them during the three day event including late night DJ sets, an
inflatable water slide, a Foamalicious tent, and new to this year a
“selfie stage” where fans are able to take pictures of themselves atop a
platform that overlooks the entire complex.
The artist friendly environment of the festival lends itself to
spontaneous collaborations, “Lambert was joined during her set by her
openers Little Big Town (for “Smokin’ and Drinkin’”) and her fellow
Pistol Annie Ashley Monroe (for “Heart Like Mine”). Earlier in the day,
Lambert popped up on stage with Monroe during her early afternoon set,
singing “Unhappily Married” with her pal” -Detroit News.
“Faster
Horses this year was better than I could have ever anticipated or hoped
for ” said Brian O’ Connell, creator of Faster Horses Festival and Live
Nation President of Country Touring. “Walking around the campsites you
just get the greatest sense for community from the fans and backstage
the artists are truly enjoying themselves, all around it’s an amazing
atmosphere.”
