We will toast to that.
After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which halted music festivals and artist tours around the world, Bourbon & Beyond returns with a cast of A-list headliners including Pearl Jam, Brandi Carlile and Greta Van Fleet , St Vincent, Jack White, Alanis Morissette, Yola, Kings of Leon, Chris Stapleton and many more.
The four-day festival takes place September 15-18 at the Highland Festival Grounds at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville. Each of the four days will feature two headliners from rock, Americana, bluegrass, blues and alt rock.
“We really captured lightning in a [bourbon] bottle with this cast,” LA-based producer Danny Wimmer said in a statement. “Honestly, it’s one of the highest-paying festivals of 2022.”
