Dave Matthews Band, Neil Young and Tedeschi Trucks Band are amongst the headline names confirmed for this year's Bourbon & Beyond festival in Louisville, KY.
The opening night of the festival (Thursday September 19) will be headlined by Neil Young and Beck, while Dave Matthews Band and Tedeschi Trucks Band will top the bill on Friday. Country stars Zach Bryan and Cody Jinks will close the show on Saturday, before Tyler Childers and My Morning Jacket round things off on the final night.
The festival will take place between September 19-22 at the Highland Festival Grounds at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky. This year, the festival is expanding its setup to include two additional music music stages and 40 more artists than last year. Tickets, VIP experiences and camping passes are on sale now.
"To have one of the most influential artists of all time, Neil Young, headline Bourbon & Beyond this year is so incredibly special," says festival promotor Danny Wimmer. "Not only do I love his music, but I think there is a real authenticity in his craft that has inspired generations of artists to find their true voice. To have such a timeless artist share the stage with some of today’s best storytellers and craftsmen is something truly exceptional.
"Plus, being able to celebrate hometown heroes, My Morning Jacket and Kentucky’s own, Tyler Childers, this year's Bourbon & Beyond lineup is truly a career highlight for me. We can’t wait to see everyone this September to celebrate the pure magic of this festival and the great city of Louisville."
