Cattle Country Music Festival announces 2025 return to Gonzales

After a successful 2024 debut, the Cattle Country Music Festival will return to the historic town of Gonzales, Texas, for its second year, on Thursday, April 10, Friday, April 11, and Saturday, April 12, 2025. 

This year’s debut of the country music and camping festival featured an iconic lineup with headliners Eric Church, Whiskey Myers, and Koe Wetzel with support from more than 30 artists, including Chase Rice, Randy Rogers Band, Tanya Tucker, Shane Smith & The Saints, and more. The 2025 lineup will be announced in the coming months.

“We knew this festival was going to be special and unlike any other, but we are still in awe of the reception from the first year, with people from all over the state, country, and world still reaching out to us about how much fun they had,” said Cattle Country Music Festival Founder Marcus Federman. “There is just something magical about listening to country music on a ranch surrounded by the Guadalupe River. Next year is going to be bigger and better, and we are going to bring the same spirit that captured all of us in the fest’s inaugural year.”

The festival will once again take place on the sprawling 400-acre ranch dubbed “The Boot” along the Guadalupe River and located conveniently just an hour from three major cities: Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. Named after its unique boot-shaped landscape, this ranch stretches along approximately three miles of the Guadalupe River.

The Boot boasts more than 150 acres of Texas pecan trees, creating shaded groves along the riverbank, a perfect natural backdrop for the festival-goers to relax and immerse themselves in the serene surroundings. Adding to the charm, The Boot offers several inviting swimming areas, aptly named Cowboy Coves, where attendees can cool off and enjoy the festival's refreshing waterside experience.

Back by popular demand, the festival will offer more GA and VIP camping areas, additional tents in the luxurious Glamping Village with a private glamping lounge, as well as more RV spaces and on-site amenities for those staying on the grounds. There will be several new additions to the festival experience that will be announced soon.
