Midland Tops First-Year ‘Feels Like Home Festival,’ Oct. 19 In Texas

Midland tops the first-year Feels Like Home Festival, taking place Oct. 19 at a new outdoor music venue at the Brownwood Event Center in Brownwood, Texas.

Along with Texas trio Midland, whose new album Barely Blue, drops Sept. 20, Feels Like Home’s music lineup is to include Casey Donahew, Micky And The Motorcars, Tyler Halverson and Hudson Westbrook. The festival, a partnership between event producer Soundskilz and the city of Brownwood, will also feature craft barbecue, an artisan market and other art activations and activities.

Tickets, which start at just $59, go on sale Friday, Aug. 16.

“It’s an honor to headline the inaugural Feels Like Home Fest, only a couple hours from our hometown in Dripping Springs and Austin,” Midland’s Mark Wystrach, Jess Carson and Cameron Duddy said in the announcement. “There is nothing like performing for our Texas fans, we can’t wait to be in Brownwood this fall.”

The Brownwood Event Center, originally built as a warehouse for the Radford Grocery Company in the 1920s, has been converted into a multipurpose event center with spaces for conventions, special events and concerts. The renovated Ice House building on Lee Street will host the festival main stage, with fans situated on a new open-air “Reunion Lawn” space that can hold 10,000 attendees.

Brownwood, population 18,862, is the county seat of Brown County in west-central Texas.
