The daily music schedule has been announced for Bourbon & Beyond – The World’s Largest Bourbon, Food & Music Festival – returning to Louisville, Kentucky for its 7th year, September 11-14, at the newly expanded and enhanced Highland Festival Grounds at Kentucky Exposition Center. Attendees can now create a personalized festival schedule with alerts and find all festival details via the official Bourbon & Beyond mobile app, available on both iPhone and Android.

Following Bourbon & Beyond’s record-breaking year in 2024 and winning Pollstar’s Global 2025 Festival of the Year, the 4-day destination event now features five music stages and over 120 music artists, along with the festival’s culinary and bourbon experiences showcasing the country’s best chefs and rich bourbon culture on the Fork & Flask curated by Kroger Stage. The schedule of culinary and bourbon programming will be announced soon.

Bourbon & Beyond will feature an incredible lineup of music talent including The Lumineers, Benson Boone, and Alabama Shakes (reunion) on Thursday; followed by Phish (playing two sets; their only festival appearance of 2025 and first Louisville show in three decades), Khruangbin, and Joe Bonamassa on Friday; Sturgill “Johnny Blue Skies” Simpson, Jack White, and Vance Joy on Saturday; and Noah Kahan, Goo Goo Dolls, and Megan Moroney on Sunday. Additional “must-see” sets during the 4-day event include Cage The Elephant, TV On The Radio, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Lake Street Dive, Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, Foreigner (in one of the final announced dates of the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees’ Farewell Tour), Third Eye Blind, Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, and many more. Foreigner’s set will also include a guest performance by Kentucky’s own Morehead State University Choir on Sunday as part of the band’s contest in each tour city to find the best a cappella choirs.

Festival producer Danny Wimmer Presents recently announced a major festival site expansion and extensive enhancements to elevate the experience for fans at Highland Festival Grounds at Kentucky Exposition Center for both Bourbon & Beyond (September 11-14) and Louder Than Life (September 18-21). The newly expanded festival grounds make greater use of the Kentucky Exposition Center’s infrastructure, creating a more comfortable and resilient experience for fans, including an immersive indoor merch experience within the air-conditioned Kentucky Expo Center. Bourbon & Beyond’s MINT VIP is now 35% larger than ever before, with an expanded layout designed for extra comfort and a brand-new 3-story shaded viewing platform offering an elevated view of both main stages.

In addition, all festival passes include FREE access to amusement rides inside Kentucky Kingdom (which will be part of the festival footprint and open exclusively to festival attendees), including the Giant Wheel (ferris wheel, with extended hours), Lightning Run roller coaster, and more fan favorites.
