Field & Stage Music Fest Debuts with Oak Ridge Boys, Jake Owen, Eli Young Band

The World Deer Expo, the world’s largest hunting expo, is adding musical entertainment to its programming this year. Organizers announced the launch of the Field & Stage Music Fest, a three-night country music experience taking place July 17-19 at Legacy Arena at BJCC in Birmingham, Alabama.

Country stars Jake Owen, Eli Young Band and The Oak Ridge Boys will be headlining the debut three-day festival.

The World Deer Expo and The Field & Stage Music Fest unite the world of outdoor culture and live country music to deliver a unique immersive experience for attendees.

“For years, fans have asked us to bring nighttime concerts to World Deer Expo weekend,” said Bob Coker, founder of the World Deer Expo. “We listened. Partnering with Producer Monica Fitzgibbons, Field & Stage Music Fest is our answer — a first-of-its-kind experience where the excitement of the expo seamlessly flows into live music each night. From Expo to Encore, the experience never stops.”

Festival organizers said the announcement of headliners is only the first of several. Other artists, special guests, attractions and festival experiences will be announced in the coming weeks.
