Bourbon & Beyond returns to Louisville from 24\u201327 September 2026 with more than 100 artists alongside its bourbon and food programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Foo Fighters, Mumford & Sons, Chris Stapleton and Dave Matthews Band are among the biggest names appearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The top of the festival poster is unusually deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alongside the four major headliners are Queens of the Stone Age, Kacey Musgraves, The Red Clay Strays, Hootie & The Blowfish, Counting Crows, Foster The People, Goose and Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further down you’ll find Jessie Murph, Of Monsters and Men, The Flaming Lips, The War on Drugs, Portugal. The Man, Gary Clark Jr., Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Father John Misty, The Fray, Cheap Trick, Adam Ant and Noah Cyrus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is difficult to attach one simple genre to that collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Country, Americana, classic rock, indie and alternative music are all heavily represented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The festival says its 2025 edition attracted 210,000 attendees across four days, five stages and more than 120 bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bourbon & Beyond was also named Pollstar’s Music Festival of the Year in the global over-30,000 attendance category for 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That makes the 2026 lineup particularly interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is no longer a niche bourbon event with some music added. It is now a huge American music festival which happens to have bourbon and culinary experiences integrated into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bourbon & Beyond takes place from 24\u201327 September 2026 at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville, Kentucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Foo Fighters, Chris Stapleton, Mumford & Sons, Dave Matthews Band, Queens of the Stone Age and Kacey Musgraves give the festival one of the broadest major lineups of the US fall festival season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
