While Mumford & Sons released their fifth studio album, “Rushmere,” earlier in 2025, the festival aims to celebrate a blend of musical genres and talents.
The Stray Cats, led by Brian Setzer, have been in the spotlight recently due to Setzer’s diagnosis of an auto-immune disease that has impacted his guitar playing. However, Setzer has shown positive progress in his health, undergoing treatment at the Mayo Clinic.

The Wild Horses Festival is expected to yield notable economic benefits for San Diego, driving increased hotel stays and tourism during the busy holiday season. The festival’s reputation for attracting large crowds is likely to generate international media attention, enhancing the city’s profile as a music and cultural destination.
A range of accommodations are already adjusting their prices in anticipation of heightened demand, while airlines are expected to increase flight capacities to San Diego to accommodate festival-goers from across North America and beyond.

Past editions of the Wild Horses Festival have featured a variety of popular artists, including Post Malone, Zach Bryan, and LeAnn Rimes. The event is designed not just to showcase music but to enhance the cultural and tourism landscape of San Diego. With a focus on immersing attendees in both lifestyle and travel experiences, the festival has solidified itself as a must-see event that captivates a diverse audience.
