The announcement we’ve all be expecting (but hoped wouldn’t) has officially come.
The 2020 Boots & Hearts Music Festival has been cancelled due to COVID-19.
In a statement from Republic Live, the organizers of the festival, said “the health and well-being of our fans, artists, staff, partners, and the community is always our highest priority. The impact of COVID-19 remains a risk for all large-scale events in 2020. Despite our eagerness to continue with this season, it is with great sadness that we announce the cancellation of Boots & Hearts 2020.”
Republic Live is offering a number of options for current ticket holders.
Current ticket holders can either opt to receive a full refund on tickets, camping, and parking, or they can hold on to their tickets and use them for the 2021 festival.
We have no updates on the artist lineup for 2021, but we do know that Eric Church will be back to headline the festival in 2021.
For refund options, please refer to the Boots & Hearts website.
Full Announcement About the 2020 Boots & Hearts Cancellation
Dear Boots Fam,
The health and well-being of our fans, artists, staff, partners and the community is always our highest priority. The impact of COVID-19 remains a risk for all large-scale events in 2020. Despite our eagerness to continue with this season, it is with great sadness that we announce the cancellation of Boots and Hearts 2020.
We are truly sorry we won’t be able to celebrate BootsLife with you this summer. We are already moving forward with planning for 2021 – the much-anticipated 10th anniversary! We are thrilled to announce Eric Church will be back next year as a 2021 headliner for an unforgettable summer.
We are extremely grateful for our loyal fans who have already purchased their Boots and Hearts tickets for 2020. With the best interests of our fans in mind, we have multiple options for ticket holders. We will be honouring all 2020 festival passes for Boots 2021 to ensure fans can secure their current 2020 prices. Those that hold onto their full weekend tickets will also receive a credit to their 2021 wristband. General Admission full-weekend ticket holders will receive a $25 credit and VIP weekend patrons will receive a $50 credit. No action is required if you wish to rollover your ticket. A full refund is also available upon request for all ticket types, refunded to the original purchaser. Click HERE to request a full refund. Please allow for 2-3 weeks after June 1, 2020 to receive your refund.
All camping and parking passes for Boots 2020, including reserved RV and tent sites can be carried over for 2021 as well. Fans can either hold onto their camping/parking pass or request a full refund.
Those that have committed to a current payment plan have the option to fulfill their final payments to lock in their 2021 ticket or request a full refund for all instalment payments to date. More information regarding payment plans will be sent to those specific purchasers.
Please note all 2020 purchasers must request all refunds including admissions and camping/parking by June 1, 2020 at midnight. After the deadline, all ticket types will be automatically transferred to Boots and Hearts 2021.
We’re hanging up our boots for this coming summer but our hearts are with the fans and our entire festival community as we navigate these difficult times.
Till then stay healthy, happy and stay home y’all.
In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
