"​To our incredible #Hwy30 family,

As you know, we've always been the "People's Festival" from day one, and we want you to know we're listening. 

After much deliberation with our team, we have made the extremely difficult decision to postpone this year's music fest in Fort Worth. While we were overjoyed to welcome so many exciting and talented artists to the stage, we want to ensure that we also take the time to slow down, regroup and come back stronger than ever in 2025. 

As many of you know, Gordy has been facing some significant health challenges, and right now, his focus needs to be on rest and healing. 

We know how much this event means to you all. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and unwavering support. 

Ticket holders will also be emailed directly.

Stay tuned, stay safe, and we’ll see you next year! 


Gordy and Meg Schroeder have grown HWY30 Music Festival in Idaho into an internationally renowned music festival known far and wide for its incredible lineups and unbeatable atmosphere. What started as a fundraiser event for a local town has turned into an annual four day music festival featuring over thirty of the hottest bands in the country and hosting over 30,000 people over the course of the week, all in a small town of 2,000 people.

When the time came to grow the fest, Texas called and the Schroeder’s answered. So for the first time ever, in October of 2023, HWY30 Music Fest is coming to one of Fort Worth’s most legendary venues, Texas Motor Speedway.
