In a statement announcing the festival, Isbell said, “I’ve always wanted to bring a music festival to the Shoals, and McFarland Park is the perfect place to enjoy world-class artists and the beauty of the Singing River. These acts are all personal favorites of ours, and we’re proud to bring them to our hometown and show them a good time. I hope y’all are as excited as we are about ShoalsFest 2019.”
The festival will take place at Florence, Alabama’s McFarland Park. (Florence and Muscle Shoals share a metropolitan area.) ShoalsFest will accommodate up to 5,000 attendees.
