Sam Hunt has pulled out of the Boots and Hearts Festival in Ontario, Canada. He posted a statement on socials saying:

“Unfortunately, due to ongoing government restrictions, Sam Hunt will not be able to perform at Boots & Hearts Music Festival on August 5th. We were hopeful these restrictions would be lifted as the date got closer, but it’s now apparent that won’t happen. Boots & Hearts Music Festival has secured a great replacement, and we all hope you can continue to have a great weekend in Burl’s Creek.”

The “Wishful Drinking” singer will be replaced at the festival by Jake Owen according to the festival’s Twitter account. Also appearing at the four day event are Shania Twain and Florida Georgia Line among others.
