Great news: The Cattle Country Music Festival is officially returning to Gonzales, Texas, for a third year of incredible music and camping. Mark your calendars now for April 10-12, 2026, because this is one weekend you won’t want to miss.
Following a massive second year that brought the likes of Parker McCollum, Nickelback, Tanya Tucker, and Clint Black to the stage, expectations are running high for what’s to come. And while the 2026 lineup is still under wraps for now, if last year’s talent is any indication, you can bet it’s going to be packed with top-tier artists.

The festival will once again be held at “The Boot,” a sprawling 400-acre ranch with a unique shape that makes it a perfect, one-of-a-kind venue. Located on three miles of the scenic Guadalupe River, this spot is a true Texas gem. It’s also super convenient, just an hour from Austin, San Antonio, and Houston, making it an easy trip for anyone in the area.
Beyond the music, The Boot offers a genuine outdoor escape. With over 150 acres of pecan trees providing plenty of shade and a laid-back vibe, it’s the perfect place to set up camp and relax. You can even take a dip in one of the festival’s swimming spots, aptly named the “Cowboy Coves,” to cool off from the Texas heat.
Whether you’re a seasoned camper or prefer a little luxury, there’s a spot for you. The festival will once again offer GA and VIP camping, plus options for RVs and even a luxurious Glamping Village for a more upscale festival experience. We’ve also heard there are new additions to the festival experience coming soon, so get ready for some exciting announcements!
