“Worst Festival Lineup I’ve Seen” – Gordy’s HWY 30 Music Fest Texas Announces Head-Scratching Lineup…And People Are NOT Happy

Update: The festival has now been canceled. What year is it again? The past few years, Gordy's HWY 30 Music Fest has put together some killer lineups of some of the best acts in country music. The original festival takes place annually in Filer, Idaho, and this year's edition featured artists like Shane Smith & the Saints, The Steel Woods, Charles Wesley Godwin, Pecos & the Rooftops, Muscadine Bloodline, Treaty Oak Revival, and more. In fact the Idaho festival has become so popular in recent years that last year Gordy's expanded and added a new annual festival at Texas Motor Speedway. The inaugural edition of Gordy's HWY 30 Texas featured headliners Zach Bryan, Dierks Bentley, Cody Jinks and Koe Wetzel, along with artists like Ashley McBryde, Mike & the Moonpies (now known as Silverada), Jake Worthington, Ray Wylie Hubbard and more. So naturally, after the lineups that organizers have put together in years past, fans were eager to see who they could expect in Texas for this year's festival. Well the 2024 edition of HWY 30 Texas will be taking place once again at Texas Motor Speedway on October 17-20. And just a month ahead of the festival, the lineup has finally dropped - and it's a head scratcher. Headliners for this year's festival include Nelly, Vanilla Ice, Hinder & "Remember when you asked what bands your fans wanted to see after last year’s event? This wasn’t it. This lineup is an embarrassment compared to last year." "No offense but I could get Color and All41 to play my backyard bbq for a six pack and hot dog." "This is incredibly disappointing after last year! Mad I bought tickets for this year! Y’all would have been better off cancelling this year than putting on a crappy show" "My neighbor just learned how to play guitar and started a band, maybe he can be a headliner" "Worst festival lineup I’ve ever seen" "What a tragedy this year is compared to last year. I wish I could get a refund on tickets that we bought last year when we were there now now I’m just pissed I spent the money." "This is embarrassing. You need to cancel and refund everyone’s ticket." "Last year's line up was amazing. Wtf is this trash" "The ol' bait and switch. Done got got. I've got 3 passes and a camping spot for sale." "No wonder y’all waited so long to put this lineup out there" Now, to be fair, promoter Gordy Schroeder and his wife have suffered some serious health issues recently, which may have contributed to the less-than-stellar lineup this year. But man, kinda feels like they shoulda just punted on this one and tried again in 2025.
