Boots and Hearts has announced that it is expanding its music festival and taking it out west next August.
Republic Live has announced that the inaugural Boots and Hearts West festival will take place in Edmonton, AB over the August 28 - 29 weekend at Fan Park @ ICE District.
Headlining the two nights will be Russell Dickerson on the Friday and Shaboozey on the Saturday, with more acts to be announced at a later time.
Two weeks ago the lineup for the 2026 edition of the festival in Oro-Medonte, ON was announced, with The Chicks and Rascal Flatts headlining a bill that also includes Dickerson, Tucker Wetmore, Jessie Murph, Dasha, Brett Kissel, James Barker Band, Thelma & James, and more.
“Boots and Hearts has always been about living the lifestyle of country music & celebrating its community. It is a feeling of connection and belonging. Bringing BootsLife to Edmonton is incredibly meaningful for us and is the perfect place for our next chapter,” Eva Dunford, Boots and Hearts Music Festival Co-Founder said in a statement. “Alberta’s deep country roots and honest, grounded culture feel naturally aligned with the spirit our festival has cultivated over the past fifteen years. We are honoured to partner with OEG, a trusted leader in sports and live entertainment whose track record makes this possible. We can’t wait to share our stories, friendships, and music with a community that lives this spirit wholeheartedly. Our boots are on, and we’re heading west!”
