    Heartland Stampede canceled due to COVID-19

    There will be no Heartland Stampede this summer.

    Organizers announced Thursday that because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, they’ve been forced to cancel the 2020 music festival. The three-day festival, formerly known as Country Stampede, made a permanent move from the Manhattan area to Topeka last year following flooding at Tuttle Creek Reservoir.

    In a statement, organizers said they made every effort to find potential reschedule dates, but those dates and artists were not available.

    “Initially we had hoped that we could weather this storm and that Stampede fans would be ready to celebrate the end of social distancing at our festival. This was perhaps wishful thinking, as very few would have predicted how rapidly our world would unravel,” organizers said in the statement.

    Customers who already purchased festival tickets through the box office will receive an email with details on refunds but also have the option of transferring their tickets to next year’s show, planned June 24 through June 26, 2021.

    Scheduled to appear at the 2020 event were Luke Combs, Toby Keith, Cody Johnson, Travis Marvin and Lonestar among others. The lineup for the 2021 event has not been announced.
