Last year's festival, which ran from October 18-20 at Discovery Park, featured headliners such as Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Keith Urban, Ashley McBryde, Bailey Zimmerman and Riley Green.
"Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This gives us the opportunity to recalibrate it, look at it a little bit differently, try to make it more appealing to a wider audience than just a country audience," Testa said. Testa said there are a number of country music festivals that announced a hiatus this year and that there are multiple festivals across the country competing for the same headliners. "We certainly had the strong artists last year in the lineup, but these things [festivals] are not slam dunks. If music festivals were easy, everybody would put them on," Testa said. The team behind the festival, Danny Wimmer Presents, is the same company behind Aftershock, a festival in its 12th year in Sacramento.
We also recognize how much this festival means to the Sacramento community, and we don't take that lightly. This wasn't an easy decision, but it's one we made with both our fans and the local community in mind. Our goal is to build a festival that stands the test of time, and sometimes that means taking a step back to realign and refocus before moving forward.

"I love GoldenSky because you can see a bunch of artists for less than the price of one would be. Absolutely heartbroken, I've gone all three years," said Aubrey Johnson, a country music fan in Sacramento.
Also on Thursday, Western Festival organizers announced that this year's event has been canceled.
