The World Deer Expo is expanding its entertainment lineup this year with the launch of the new Field & Stage Music Fest, a three-night country music event scheduled for July 17 to 19 at Legacy Arena at the BJCC in Birmingham, Alabama.

Organizers announced that Jake Owen, Eli Young Band and The Oak Ridge Boys will headline the inaugural festival. The concerts will take place during World Deer Expo weekend, adding live music programming to the annual outdoor and hunting event.

The World Deer Expo, which bills itself as the world’s largest hunting expo, said the new festival is intended to combine country music and outdoor culture into one weekend experience for attendees.

“For years, fans have asked us to bring nighttime concerts to World Deer Expo weekend,” World Deer Expo founder Bob Coker said in a statement. “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.”

Additional artists, special guests and festival attractions are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
