The Louisville, Kentucky, festival is back again with another stellar lineup. This festival is a dream, with a collection of artists showcasing country music, alternative, rock, and more. The four-day event also features top-notch food and bourbon.

Sad country songs and whiskey neat. What more could you need?

Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents says:

“Bourbon & Beyond is the best lineup of the year—bringing together the biggest names in rock, Americana, and alt, alongside country icons and breakout artists. It’s a festival that doesn’t just celebrate one sound, but the best of all of them, paired with world-class bourbon, incredible food, and that unmistakable Kentucky vibe.

From the start, our vision was to create an experience that blends music, culinary, culture, and community in a way that only Bourbon & Beyond can,. The crowds are huge, the energy is unmatched, and every year, we take it up a notch. If you love music, a breathtaking atmosphere, and the best bourbon on the planet: this is the festival to experience.”
