Is this heaven? No, it’s Iowa – and it’s about to get even more unforgettable!
Step into the iconic world of baseball, dreams, and live music at the legendary Field of Dreams Movie Site in Dyersville, Iowa. This weekend, August 30-31, 2025, the historic cornfield-turned-ballpark transforms into a premier music destination for the first-ever all-day concert festival. What started as a single show has grown into a two-day celebration of country, rock, and Americana, honoring family, history, and the spirit of the game. With headliners like three-time Grammy winner Tim McGraw and rock giants Nickelback, plus a stellar lineup of supporting artists, this event promises an epic blend of nostalgia and high-energy performances right on the field where Kevin Costner’s Ray Kinsella heard the call to “build it.”
Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the 1989 film classic or just love great live tunes under the stars, this is your chance to experience something truly one-of-a-kind. Gates open early, food and beverages flow, and the magic of the Field of Dreams will make every moment feel like a home run. Don’t miss out – tickets are going fast!
