Celebrating 86 years, the Brighton Field Day Festival returns to the Fred Smith Rodeo Arena on the Brighton Seminole Indian Reservation in Okeechobee, Florida, February 13-16.
Presented by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, many Seminole favorites will return including PRCA Rodeo (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday), Xtreme Bull Riding (Sunday), clothing contests, American Indian arts & crafts and native foods. Attendees may also visit the Seminole Culture Camp where a living Seminole Indian Village will be on display.

Entertainment will include a Saturday evening concert by Brantley Gilbert. As one of the godfathers of country’s modern rock-and-rap edge, multi-Platinum The Valory Music Co. trailblazer Brantley Gilbert knows life has a way of leaving a mark. With his seventh studio album, Tattoos, available now, the Georgia native chooses to embrace it – inspired by the idea that his tattoos tell a story, just like his songs. And just like his songs, he’ll never hide the truth they reveal. An era-defining artist forever bonded to his fans, Gilbert’s been mining the timeless values of hard-working dedication, high-octane thrills and humble faith since his 2009 debut, A Modern Day Prodigal Son, creating a chart-topping grit-and-grace fusion which helped set the stage for today’s genre-blending format. With his dedicated BG Nation behind him, the fiery performer-songwriter has racked up more than 8.3 BILLION career streams, boasting back-to-back Platinum albums and seven No. 1 hits including the RIAA 7x Platinum “Bottoms Up;” 2x Platinum “Country Must Be Country Wide;” 2x Platinum “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do;” 2x Platinum “One Hell of An Amen;” and the Platinum-certified “What Happens In A Small Town” with Lindsay Ell. His world-class pen helped create a watershed hit with Jason Aldean’s 4x Platinum country-rap game changer, “Dirt Road Anthem.” And possessing a can’t-fake-it quality of fierce independence, the ACM, CMA and AMA award winner has toured alongside everyone from Willie Nelson and Toby Keith to Kenny Chesney, Nickelback and more. Tattoos further cements his legacy – 10 co-written, co-produced tracks with an electrifying mix of in-your-face aggression and roughneck reflection, as Gilbert’s diesel-powered smoke-and-soul vocal delivers another full-spectrum soundtrack to modern country life. Tracks like full-throttle “Off the Rails” and intoxicating chart-climbing single “Over When We’re Sober” with Ashley Cooke lead a set packed with guest appearances from Gary LeVox, Justin Moore, Struggle Jennings and Demun Jones.

Will Moseley will open the concert evening. Moseley is out of small-town South Georgia singing country music in every bar around. His career took off after his second-place finish in American Idol Season 22, and with the release of his new songs his following is steadily growing. He has left tracks in bars from Statesboro, Tifton, Athens, Clemson, and even Nashville playing requests from traditional to modern country. This far he’s had some awesome opportunities to play shows with artists such as Zac Brown Band, Dillon Carmichael, whose hit “Son Of A” is a chart-topping sensation, Whey Jennings , the grandson of country music legend Waylon Jennings, Megan Moroney, and a few other larger Nashville acts. Follow him on social media, stream his song “I Don’t Want to Fight No More,” and don’t miss the opportunity to see him live when he comes nearby!

The event will also feature Native dance troupes from neighboring tribes, storytelling, additional musical performances, alligator wrestling, and wildlife presentations.

Tickets will be available at the event gate and at select retailers. There are no online ticket sales for this event. Saturday tickets include the Brantley Gilbert concert.
