They defined Southern rock, and they were a definitive part of my own rock n’ roll education growing up in Jacksonville,” says Danny Wimmer, founder of Danny Wimmer Presents. “After nine great years in Jacksonville, it was a difficult decision to move Welcome To Rockville to a new home – but it was a necessary decision for the festival to continue to grow and deliver the kind of experience that Florida’s rock fans deserve.

Dimebash – an all-star jam tribute to “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott, the late co-founder and guitarist of Pantera and Damageplan – is set for Thursday, January 16 at The Observatory OC in Santa Ana, California.

Rock legend Dave Grohl and many more top rock and metal artists will be on hand to honor the guitar legend 15 years after his untimely passing. The all-star jam will feature Dime’s music and some of his favorite songs, with the Texas homegrown sounds of WhiskeyDick opening the show. The full lineup of musical guests will be announced in January.

Event producer and Dimebag’s longtime partner Rita Haney said, “This year will mark the 15 year anniversary since Darrell was taken from us…even more of a reason to come together with friends and chosen family to honor the man that brought so much love and laughter to our lives…not to mention some pretty sick tuneage!!! If you’ve never experienced ‘the room’ at Dimebash, it’s something you can’t describe - the love, the unity, the smiles, the magic. It’s a special kind of vibe you have to check out at least once for yourself. Then you’ll almost know what it’s like to have Dime physically in the room.”

The 2019 Dimebash and BackBeat BBQ included special guests such as Dave Grohl, Corey Taylor, Rex Brown, Scott Ian, Charlie Benante, Dave Lombardo, and many more. Check out some highlights here: https://youtu.be/Po6PxgQTi_g

The all-ages event, which also serves as the unofficial kick-off for the Winter NAMM show, starts at 7:00 PM and will be hosted by the metal ambassador himself, Jose Mangin (Affliction / SiriusXM). Tickets are available for $33 (plus fees) via www.DimebagDarrell.com. There will also be lots of great raffle prizes to win throughout the night.

Festival producer Danny Wimmer Presents has released the following update about their 2020 music festivals:

There are no pre-existing guidelines for what festivals should be doing during this unprecedented time.  Like the rest of the music industry, we continue to assess new information and make the best-educated decisions possible.  We know you have been anxious for updates from us and we are at a point where we can answer many of your questions about how each of our festivals may be affected by COVID-19. 

We are crushed to say that Epicenter, Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple are being canceled due to the governmental restrictions on mass gatherings.  We respect these directives and recognize they are in the best interest of the greater good, as well as the health and safety of our fans, musicians, partners, and staff.  Before accepting this fate, we worked really hard to try to reschedule the festivals.  Unfortunately, scheduling conflicts, venue availabilities and a number of other factors out of our control made postponing impossible.  Make no mistake, each of these festivals will return in May 2021 bigger and stronger than ever!

Let’s be perfectly clear -- FULL REFUNDS will be available to everyone who has purchased passes to Epicenter, Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple. 

In addition to offering refunds, many of you have said that you would prefer to apply your 2020 purchases towards next year or exchange your pass for another one of our 2020 festivals.   Based on your feedback, we are offering pass holders three options:

(1) Full refund

(2) Apply your pass to 2021

(3) Exchange your pass for another 2020 DWP festival

Complete details will be emailed out to our pass holders within 72 hours. 

We also know that you are anxious to find out who is playing Louder Than Life, Bourbon & Beyond and Aftershock.  Please understand that here at DWP, we’ve been debating when it is appropriate to announce our lineups and put passes on sale for our remaining festivals.  Our heads say we need to hold off on these announcements until we have more certainty in the world.  But our hearts say the world needs positivity and some things to look forward to.  We’ve been paying close attention to what you are saying on our social media and two themes consistently emerge.  First, you do want something to remind you of the better days ahead.  Second, times are financially hard for all of us.

While we want nothing more than to give you the full lineups for Aftershock, Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life, we just don’t feel like it’s the right time.  But we did hear you loud and clear that you want some good news.  And good news we have.  We are adding a Thursday to 2020 Louder Than Life and, are you ready . . . the newly added Thursday will be headlined by none other than Metallica.  Yes, Metallica is back!  We simply couldn’t accept that after all we’ve gone through together this year that there would be no Metallica performance East of the Mississippi.  And Metallica agrees! 

To assist you in the current financial climate, all current pass holders for Louder Than Life will be given the 4th day FREE.  We are also deferring the next installment payment on the layaway plan for a month.  And we will leave open the refund option for Louder Than Life through Friday, March 27 in case you need your money back.

To try to make passes a little more affordable right now, anyone who wants to buy a pass for Louder Than Life can reserve a pass for $1 down per pass, with payments not starting until May 3 and split up evenly in May, June, July and August. 

We have also arranged for many of the bands from Sonic, Epicenter and Rockville to play at Louder Than Life and will be announcing that as soon as we feel appropriate.  Because we were not able to reschedule the Spring festivals, we want Louder Than Life to be an inclusive celebration of all of those festivals.  It’s not a perfect solution, but these are imperfect times. It is our sincere hope that we are all able to heal together with massive celebrations this Fall.

While we don’t know if this pandemic will end in time for Hometown Rising, Louder Than Life, Bourbon & Beyond or Aftershock, rest assured that all passes will be refunded in the unfortunate event that any of these festivals are prevented from happening because of COVID-19. 

We want to thank you for your continued loyalty and support.  We are blessed to have such an amazing Festival Family, and together, as a community, we will get through this.  Please stay safe and look out for each other. 

With Love,

Team DWP

Starting this Friday, May 22, the donated hats will be auctioned via Lone Hawk Hats Instagram (@lonehawkhats).

Overbey explains, “When we learned that the Navajo Nation now has more documented COVID-19 cases per capita than any of the United States and they are not yet receiving U.S. government funding, we knew we had to do something to help.”

In addition to the Lone Hawk Hat charity auction, Overbey will raffle off “This Ol’ Hat,” a vintage hat signed by the Lone Hawk Hat family members supporting the cause.

The list of talent contributing to the charity auction and “This Ol’ Hat” raffle includes:

Navajo Nation is comprised of 27,000 square miles across portions of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. The region has been among the hardest hit by the COVID-19 virus, with a total of over 3,900 cases, and over 140 confirmed deaths (as reported by Navajo Department of Health). UnitedNatives.org indicates that experts project these numbers to increase due to a disproportionate number of preexisting health conditions in tribal communities and resource-starved tribal healthcare systems ill-prepared for the pandemic. In addition, the Navajo Nation experiences some of the highest rates of water poverty in the United States.

United Natives Community Partner Dr. Michelle Tom, DO, MPH is a Navajo family medicine physician working on the front lines of the Navajo Nation. Dr. Tom sees the daily, unmet need for medical supplies for medical staff and community members.

Dropkick Murphys returned to Boston’s most famous stomping grounds on Friday, May 29 for their free live streaming concert, Streaming Outta Fenway, presented by Pega. Following the success of the band’s free Streaming Up From Boston St. Patrick’s Day performance, Streaming Outta Fenway marked the first-ever music event without an in-person audience at a major U.S. venue, and the first music performance directly on the infield at Boston’s legendary Fenway Park.

During the show, the band was joined remotely by longtime friend Bruce Springsteen for a special two-song “Double Play” that included Dropkick Murphys’ “Rose Tattoo” and Springsteen’s “American Land.”

Streaming Outta Fenway raised over $700,000 and counting for charities Boston Resiliency Fund, Feeding America®, and Habitat for Humanity, Greater Boston, with the help of fans and a generous $51,000 donation and $100,000 matching pledge from Pega. Viewed over 9 million times by people worldwide, the concert streamed concurrently on Dropkick Murphys’ Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Twitch pages, aired live on SiriusXM’s E Street Radio channel, and also streamed via RedSox.com, MLB.com, NESN.com, USO, Vulture and more.

Prior to the live performance, Dropkick Murphys took fans on an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Fenway Park, and debuted the video for their newest single, “Mick Jones Nicked My Pudding”  from the band’s upcoming album.

Celebrities including Kevin Bacon, actor Mike O’Malley, Jack O’Callaghan of the 1980 “Miracle On Ice” Olympic hockey team, Saturday Night Live alum Rachel Dratch and others joined with video messages supporting the text-to-donate charity campaign.

Introduced by longtime Red Sox radio announcer Joe Castiglione (accompanied remotely by Fenway Park organist Josh Kantor), Dropkick Murphys – Al Barr (co-lead vocals), Tim Brennan (guitars, accordion, mellotron, whistles, vocals), Ken Casey (co-lead vocals), Jeff DaRosa (banjo, bouzouki, mandolin, harmonica, acoustic guitars, vocals), Matt Kelly (drums, percussion, vocals), James Lynch (guitar, vocals), Kevin Rheault (touring bassist), Lee Forshner (touring bagpipe player) – took positions around the infield and launched into a nearly two-hour set.

In addition to the “Double Play” with Bruce Springsteen, the set included a cover of Johnny Thunders’ “You Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory,” Red Sox victory songs “Tessie” and “Dirty Water” (The Standells), a stirring rendition of “Amazing Grace” and the band’s own somber “4-15-13” along with several familiar DKM classics.

Streaming Outta Fenway received coverage from a diverse range of press across the globe, including CBS This Morning, CNN, Forbes, MLB Tonight, MSN, Newsweek, NME, Politico, Rolling Stone, The Today Show, UPI, USA Today, Variety, Vulture, Yahoo! and many more.

Streaming Outta Fenway was directed by the band's longtime friend Josh Adams from MindPool Live, who has also directed two Dropkick Murphys concert films. Leading online video hosting platform Brightcove distributed the live stream across the web.

Next up, Dropkick Murphys will continue work on their new album as COVID-19 guidelines allow. The band was nearly finished recording when the pandemic began and delayed the recording process. The new Dropkick Murphys album is now scheduled for release in  2021, with a worldwide tour to support.

About Dropkick Murphys: Since forming in 1996, Boston's Dropkick Murphys have independently sold a staggering 8 million albums worldwide, with 2005's The Warrior's Code album achieving an RIAA Gold certification and its smash single "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" single nearing double platinum and appearing during a key moment of Martin Scorsese's Academy Award-winning The Departed. Dropkick Murphys have become ambassadors for their Boston hometown and have built a legacy that does Beantown proud. The band recently released the singles "Smash Sh*t Up" and "Mick Jones Nicked My Pudding," which will be included on their new album. Dropkick Murphys' song "Rose Tattoo"—from their Signed and Sealed in Blood album—was chosen by Loudwire as one of the "Top 66 Best Of The Decade Rock Songs," appearing at #21 on the list. Dropkick Murphys' most recent album, 11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory (released through the band's own Born & Bred Records in 2017), debuted at #8 on the Billboard Top 200 and was the #1 independently released album.

Danny Wimmer Presents has announced that Aftershock 2020, scheduled for October 9 – 11 at Discovery Park in Sacramento, CA, has been rescheduled to October 7 – 10, 2021, and has released the following statement:

After all the harm caused by COVID-19, there is nothing that we wanted more than to be celebrating Aftershock with you this October at Discovery Park for what was going to be a monumental weekend.  We, the artists, and Sacramento County all thought we had a shot at being the first post-COVID festival to happen.  That really would have been incredible.  We waited as long as we could but, unfortunately, the recent spike of cases now requires that we reschedule this year’s sold-out Aftershock to 2021.

As always, thank you so much for your patience. Please know that every decision we made for 2020, and will make for 2021, is with you, our fans and friends, at the top of our minds.  We truly hope to see you in 2021. The world needs live music to return so we can feel connected once again, and we can’t wait to bring back the biggest rock experience on the West Coast.

The DWP team is already working hard on Aftershock 2021—October 7, 8, 9 and 10—at Discovery Park in Sacramento, CA. Aftershock 2021 will be headlined by Metallica and My Chemical Romance, who were both confirmed for the sold-out 2020 event. Metallica will still perform their highly anticipated two unique sets over two nights. The complete Aftershock 2021 lineup will be announced this October.

In addition, DWP is excited to announce a fourth night to Aftershock 2021, in partnership with Jack Daniel’s, as an epic celebratory evening to kick off the return of California’s favorite rock festival.

Metallica said: “Everyone in the Metallica camp is beyond bummed that we can’t come connect with all you incredible music fans in Sacramento and the surrounding area this October which, as you know, is just up Interstate 80 from where we are based. But obviously your health and safety, as well as that of everybody working the festival, and our crew is paramount. So, if that means we have to wait until the pandemic is contained to rock out with you all, that’s what we’ll have to do. We're counting the days until we can see you in October 2021 and look forward to joining our brothers in My Chemical Romance and all the other great artists (to be announced) for an incredible weekend of music, good vibes, and plenty of aftershocks! See you in Sacramento at Aftershock 2021. Until then, hoping you all stay safe and sound and take care of each other. Much love.”

My Chemical Romance said: "It is a bittersweet moment looking at the 2020 calendar and watching all the incredible experiences we planned on sharing with each other and our fans this year slowly slip away. However, knowing that the world is historically changing for the better and that those experiences are simply postponed until next year for the safety of all involved, and not canceled, is a comforting and welcomed feeling. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by this terrible pandemic and we support every effort to keep every human being safe and healthy. We look forward to being part of Aftershock 2021 in Sacramento, California on the weekend of October 7-10 with Metallica and so many other amazing bands. We are counting the minutes until we can see you all again, but until then please: Stay Safe, Stay Sane, Be Kind, and Keep the Faith. XO”

Aftershock 2020 pass purchasers will receive an email with their options on Monday, July 27, with details regarding their 2020 purchase. As an exclusive gift to all fans who defer to 2021, the newly added fourth night will be included for free.

True to their annual tradition – with a twist for these turbulent times – Dropkick Murphys will unite with music fans from around the globe for Dropkick Murphys St. Patrick’s Day Stream 2021...Still Locked Down to virtually celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on Wednesday, March 17 at 7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT. The free streaming online concert--with no in-person audience--will be simulcast worldwide via www.DKMstream.com.

Dropkick Murphys St. Patrick’s Day Stream 2021...Still Locked Down is presented by Boston-area tech company Pega (a leading provider of digital transformation software) and sponsored by YOU.

Dropkick Murphys founder Ken Casey explains, “Instead of charging for tickets, we’re going to ‘pass the virtual hat’ so you can donate what you’d like to help support us in our efforts to keep paying our employees. When we did the first two free live streams for charity, our fans were super generous and we raised lots of money for good causes. But frankly, we’ve been out of work for over a year, so this one, we’ve gotta make about us. Of course, a portion will also go to charity, as always! ”

People who donate in advance or during the stream (via www.DKMstream.com) will see their name scroll across the ticker at the bottom of the screen during Still Locked Down.

Still Locked Down will feature a variety of fan favorites, as well as select songs from the band’s new studio album, due out soon. Look for details about the new album next week.

After last year’s Streaming Outta Fenway and Streaming Up From Boston live stream  performances, Dropkick Murphys are now focusing on bringing fans the show they’d expect to see in person. The St. Patrick’s Day 2021 streaming event will feature Dropkick Murphys performing socially distanced on an arena-sized stage with a full LED screen and a brand new video show directed by the band's longtime friend Josh Adams from Mindpool Live. Josh has also directed two Dropkick Murphys concert films and is the director of live concert video productions for Foo Fighters.

Dropkick Murphys have a long history of giving back and finding creative ways to connect with fans, and they’ve continued this tradition throughout the pandemic. On St. Patrick’s Day 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic was hitting critical mass in the United States, Dropkick Murphys held their Streaming Up From Boston live stream event in lieu of their normal Boston Blowout St. Patrick’s Day celebration. To date, it’s been watched more than 13 million times across platforms, was featured on CBS This Morning Saturday, CNN, NBC Nightly News, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, and in the Wall Street Journal, and raised more than $60,000 through the band’s charitable organization, The Claddagh Fund.

In May 2020, they masterminded the historic Streaming Outta Fenway presented by Pega. Taking the infield at Fenway Park instruments in-hand, it stood out as the first-ever music event without an in-person audience at a major U.S. sports venue, and the first music performance directly on the infield at Fenway. Bruce Springsteen joined on the Jumbotron for a two-song “Double Play” of DKM’s “Rose Tattoo” and his “American Land.” Most importantly, they hauled in $700,000-plus to benefit charities such as Boston Resiliency Fund, Feeding America®, and Habitat for Humanity, Greater Boston.

Dropkick Murphys are: Al Barr (lead vocals), Tim Brennan (guitars, tin whistle, accordion, piano, vocals), Ken Casey (lead vocals), Jeff DaRosa (guitars, banjo, mandolin, vocals), Matt Kelly (drums, percussion, vocals), James Lynch (guitars, vocals), Kevin Rheault (touring bassist) and Lee Forshner (touring bagpipe player).

Dropkick Murphys are preparing to release their 10th full-length studio album, Turn Up That Dial, April 30 via band-owned Born & Bred Records. The album was produced by Ted Hutt and is available for pre-order, with the new single “Middle Finger” out now.

As previously announced, Dropkick Murphys will preview some tracks from Turn Up That Dial when they virtually reunite with fans around the globe for their Dropkick Murphys St. Patrick’s Day Stream 2021...Still Locked Down to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on Wednesday, March 17 at 7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT. The free streaming online concert – with no in-person audience – will be simulcast worldwide via www.DKMstream.com and will feature Dropkick Murphys performing socially distanced on an arena-sized stage with a full LED screen and a brand new video show.

With the 11 tracks on Turn Up That Dial, Dropkick Murphys celebrate the simple pleasure of music, the relief and release from worry that comes when you “turn up that dial” and blast your troubles away. “On this record, the overall theme is the importance of music, and the bands that made us who we are,” explains DKM founder and co-lead vocalist Ken Casey. “We just hope [the album] takes people’s minds off their troubles. We’re so fortunate and grateful to be in the position to share a little happiness in our own way. Our gratitude levels are off the chart. 25 years ago, somebody bet me 30 bucks I couldn’t form a band with three weeks’ notice to open for his band. As kids, we’d never been out of New England and here we are – we’ve made ten records and have been all over the globe. If there’s a message to this album, it’s ‘put your fist up and play it loud.’”

Over the last two years, following a surgery, bassist/co-lead vocalist Casey stopped playing, passing bass duties to longtime friend and road crew member Kevin Rheault. With Casey off his leash and free to roam the front of the stage with co-lead vocalist Al Barr, a new, powerful dynamic has ignited between the two. After a couple hundred shows of the untethered duo shredding stages all over the world, their long-standing vocal trade-off explodes out of the speakers better than ever on Turn Up That Dial.

Volume cranked, heads held high, smiles wide, eyes on the prize, Dropkick Murphys charge forward with the same spirit that brought them here in the first place…yet with a new determination and exuberance that brings both the live show and this album to the next level.

Hunkered down at home during the pandemic, Dropkick Murphys staved off depression by leaning on the music and leaning on each other. As they have since 1996, they began throwing down rousing tracks that span the gap from punk rock ragers to melodic, Irish-inspired tunes.

Working out of Q Division Studios in Somerville, MA with longtime producer Ted Hutt, they recorded Turn Up That Dial in shifts of two members at a time. For the final weeks of recording, Hutt ran the sessions via video conference from his studio in LA. For background vocals, the guys set up separate mics in five different rooms so they could all simultaneously sing safely. “We were all looking at each other out the window, at least,” recalls Casey.

Dropkick Murphys steamrolled their way through the album with a string of anthems, starting with the title track. “Turn Up That Dial” lays bare the whole point of the collection in the first verse: “You’re my inspiration, you got something to say / Now turn up that dial ‘til it takes me away.” It’s easy to imagine the band members thinking back to their teenage selves: blasting The Clash on a Walkman, feeling their favorite bands were sticking up for them more than anyone else in the world. This album is fueled by those bands that captured the energy of the streets, distilled life’s complexities to raging choruses, and were constant companions.

On the new single “Middle Finger,” Al Barr spits out the verses with an evil, tongue-in-cheek grin, as the track explodes into the chorus, “I could never keep that middle finger down.” Not one to shirk responsibility, Casey offers this reflection: “Thinking of my younger days, I made things a lot harder for myself than they needed to be – and still pay for some of those mistakes now.”

The band closes the album with a tribute to Al’s late father Woody Barr on the moving tribute “I Wish You Were Here.” Turn Up That Dial waves goodbye with accordion, bagpipes, and a drum march. “Al’s dad was just an incredible man,” Casey explains. “He and Al had a very special bond. To watch Al grieve his death was heartbreaking. He persevered through it, even when we had to go back on the road, away from family. He kept his head held high. We’ve never ended an album with a slow song, but we had to end it with a tip of the cap to pay our respects to Woody and so many others. It’s a moment to stop, count our blessings, and remember those who we’ve lost, including the 400,000-plus people to this virus.”

In good times and bad times, we turn to music. Our record collections and playlists carry us through any hardships, adversities, and trouble the world throws our way. When you press play, the pain just goes away. It’s why we listen in the first place. And that’s what Dropkick Murphys set out to do – and definitely accomplished – on the new album Turn Up That Dial. They boot in the front door of 2021 with a record that punches you square in the face and says, in the words of Ken Casey, “Get up, get out of those sweatpants you’ve been wearing for the last year...better times are ahead – LET’S F-in’ GO!!”

“We’ve all done plenty of lamenting, so the main goal was to keep this fun,” Casey leaves off. “The darker the times got, the harder we fought to uplift with this music. Whatever we’re potentially giving to fans, trust me, they’re giving it to us tenfold. Now, turn up that f*cking dial.”

While awaiting the release of Turn Up That Dial, join Dropkick Murphys to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day during Dropkick Murphys St. Patrick’s Day Stream 2021...Still Locked Down, which is presented by Boston-area tech company Pega (a leading provider of digital transformation software) and sponsored by YOU. Instead of charging for tickets, the band will “pass the virtual hat” to take donations to help support their efforts to keep paying their employees, and a portion of donations will go to charity as always. Those who donate in advance or during the stream (via www.DKMstream.com) will see their name scroll across the ticker at the bottom of the screen during Still Locked Down.

Dropkick Murphys have a long history of giving back and finding creative ways to connect with fans, and they’ve continued this tradition throughout the pandemic. On St. Patrick’s Day 2020, just as COVID-19 was hitting critical mass in the United States, Dropkick Murphys held their Streaming Up From Boston live stream event in lieu of their normal Boston Blowout St. Patrick’s Day celebration. To date, it’s been watched more than 13 million times across platforms, was featured on CBS This Morning Saturday, CNN, NBC Nightly News, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, and in the Wall Street Journal, and raised more than $60,000 through the band’s charitable organization, The Claddagh Fund.

In May 2020, they masterminded the historic Streaming Outta Fenway live stream presented by Pega. Taking the infield at Fenway Park instruments in-hand, it stood out as the first-ever music event without an in-person audience at a major U.S. sports venue, and the first music performance directly on the infield at Fenway. Bruce Springsteen joined on the Jumbotron for a two-song “Double Play” of DKM’s “Rose Tattoo” and his “American Land.” Most importantly, they hauled in $700,000-plus to benefit charities such as Boston Resiliency Fund, Feeding America®, and Habitat for Humanity, Greater Boston.

Dropkick Murphys are: Al Barr (lead vocals), Tim Brennan (guitars, tin whistle, accordion, piano, vocals), Ken Casey (lead vocals), Jeff DaRosa (guitars, banjo, mandolin, vocals), Matt Kelly (drums, percussion, vocals), James Lynch (guitars, vocals), Kevin Rheault (touring bassist) and Lee Forshner (touring bagpipe player).

With the grit and tenacity that have exemplified their history to date, Flogging Molly is excited to announce their upcoming St. Patrick’s Day livestream performance. Taking place Wednesday, March 17 at the iconic Whelan’s Irish Pub in Dublin, Ireland, in partnership with Bushmills Irish Whiskey®, the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery, Flogging Molly will put on a St. Paddy’s Day party for the record books, bringing the good times, great whiskey, vivid stories, and music of the band – straight from Ireland – directly to fans around the world. Check out a trailer for the show HERE. 

Early bird tickets for the livestream are available now via FloggingMollyLive.com and will run through Friday, March 12 at midnight EST. Various exclusive streaming bundles include a t-shirt, limited edition

poster, Lucky Bag, virtual meet & greet with the band, and access to a stripped-down acoustic set of fan favorites and Irish traditional songs. The show begins at 12 pm PT, 3 pm ET, and 7 pm Ireland/GMT time, and from there, purchasers will have full access to stream the entire show whenever they like through midnight ET on Sunday, March 21.

Additionally, in lead up to the event, Bushmills® is offering fans the opportunity to partake in their “First  Whiskey” program. As a friendly Irish gesture ahead of St. Patrick’s Day, whiskey lovers 21+ across the U.S. can safely order a Bushmills Irish Whiskey® to-go from their neighborhood pub and the beloved Irish whiskey will cover the cost, through Thursday, March 18. Terms and conditions apply, learn more details on the Bushmills® “First Whiskey” Rebate Program HERE.

As we all know too well, lockdown has a way of making even the basics extremely complicated. Flogging  Molly’s Dave King and Bridget Regan have been in Wexford, Ireland since lockdown was declared nearly one year ago, while the rest of the band have been in their homes across the U.S. And while there is nothing easy about crossing international borders for a full production live show at this moment in history – quarantine policies are ever-changing as the global response continues to evolve – it’s this reality that we all share, which is exactly why the band felt it needed to happen this St. Patrick’s Day. With the safety of the band, touring and film crew, and everyone on hand as top priority, the next priority was a good time – and a loud, raucous, and joyous celebration of all that we – the band and fans – have to be thankful for.

Says Dave King: “In any house, even in the darkest of times, there’s always a room, a room for celebration. In over twenty years together, this is our first ever show from the Emerald Isle on St.  Patrick’s Day. Welcome to Ireland. Let’s celebrate! From our family to yours, Sláinte!”

Tickets will start at $15 per household, with unlimited streams available across 5 days (March 17- 21).  The live airing, pre-show and after-show acoustic performance will be directed by Dublin-based  director Richie Smyth (Irish director of multiple U2 videos, feature films, Guinness commercial spots and  more), and Flogging Molly have partnered with global event promoter Danny Wimmer Presents for the  production. A portion of the band’s proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to a favorite charity of theirs, Sweet Relief’s COVID-19 Crew Fund, which supports road crew members grounded and out of  work during the global pandemic.

Flogging Molly is comprised of Dave King (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, bodhran), Bridget Regan (violin, tin whistle, vocals), Dennis Casey (guitar, vocals), Matt Hensley (accordion, concertina, vocals), Nathen Maxwell (bass guitar, vocals), Spencer Swain (mandolin, banjo, guitar, vocals), and Mike Alonso (drums, percussion). Starting out as the house band for Molly Malone’s in Los Angeles and building a loyal following through endless touring, Flogging Molly has become a staple in the punk scene over the past 20 years, kicking off with its raucous debut showcase, Swagger, and continuing through its five additional studio albums. With numerous late-night television appearances under their belt, its sell out Salty Dog Cruise through the Caribbean, and yearly St. Patrick’s Day Festival in Los Angeles, the band is currently working on the Rise Records follow-up to its latest LP, Life Is Good. Recently, the band reissued Swagger with exclusive tracks, an Irish traditional set, a 60-minute video feature, and exclusive merch in a collectable box set.

Dropkick Murphys’ highly-anticipated new album, Turn Up That Dial, is available today, via band-owned Born & Bred Records. Produced by Ted Hutt, Turn Up That Dial is the band’s 10th full-length studio album. Turn Up That Dial is available for streaming and purchase here.

With the 11 tracks on Turn Up That Dial, Dropkick Murphys celebrate the simple pleasure of music, the relief and release from worry that comes when you “turn up that dial” and blast your troubles away.

A number of tracks from the album also have accompanying music videos: “Smash Sh*t Up” speaks for itself, capturing the thrill of recreational demolition, while “I Wish You Were Here” is a moving tribute to DKM co-lead vocalist Al Barr’s late father, and “Mick Jones Nicked My Pudding” recounts a hilarious memory producer Ted Hutt shared with the band of the time The Clash guitarist swiped Ted’s dessert from the fridge of a studio in the UK. “Middle Finger” features a Kes Glozier-directed video shot in London just before the band’s last show prior to the pandemic, and the most recent music video, for “Queen Of Suffolk County,” pairs the perfect visual as Casey recounts the exploits of a knife-toting local femme fatale.

Turn Up That Dial has been receiving rave reviews from media, a snippet of which can be seen below:

“...by midway through the album’s opening title track — its rolling banjo, accordion, and bagpipes atop raging punk chords as Al Barr and Ken Casey stake out an us-versus-them ethos — they’ve practically ionized every molecule in the listener’s body until all that’s left is the rush that the band intended.” - The Boston Globe

“... Celtic-styled riffs, reels and jigs amplified tenfold and bolstered by their now trademark gang vocal hooks.” - Kerrang!, 4/5 stars

“Boasting more knock-out hooks than their hero “Irish” Micky Ward, Turn Up That Dial is a speaker-shaking return to form for Dropkick Murphys.” - Hot Press, 8/10 stars

To celebrate the release, Dropkick Murphys will return to the virtual stage today, May 1 at 8:30 PM ET / 5:30 PM PT for the Turn Up That Dial Album Release Party Free Live Stream Concert fueled by Death Wish Coffee…and sponsored by YOU.

This streaming performance--with no in-person audience--will be simulcast worldwide via www.DKMstream.com and will feature a completely new set with songs from the band’s new album, along with a variety of fan favorites, with Dropkick Murphys once again performing socially distanced on an arena-sized stage with a full LED screen.

Instead of charging for tickets to the Turn Up That Dial Album Release Party Free Live Stream Concert, the band will “pass the virtual hat” to take donations to help support their efforts to keep paying their employees, and a portion of donations will go to charity as always.

The May 1 stream follows the band’s successful Dropkick Murphys St. Patrick’s Day Stream 2021...Still Locked Down, which was #1 on Pollstar’s Livestream chart for the week ending March 22, 2021, logging over 1 million views. Dropkick Murphys also held the #3 spot on Pollstar’s “Top 2020 Livestreams” chart for last year’s landmark Streaming Outta Fenway livestream, which drew more than 5.9 million viewers.

Dropkick Murphys are: Al Barr (lead vocals), Tim Brennan (guitars, tin whistle, accordion, piano, vocals), Ken Casey (lead vocals), Jeff DaRosa (guitars, banjo, mandolin, vocals), Matt Kelly (drums, percussion, vocals), James Lynch (guitars, vocals), Kevin Rheault (touring bassist) and Lee Forshner (touring bagpipe player).

Louder Than Life made its triumphant return in Louisville, KY this past weekend, held September 23, 24, 25 & 26 at the Highland Festival Grounds At KY Expo Center with a record-setting attendance of 160,000 people who enjoyed the expanded four-day weekend for the first time in the festival’s history.

Producer Danny Wimmer Presents is pleased to report that more than 98% of festivalgoers arrived with proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID test – and others were able to receive convenient rapid testing onsite in order to access the event without delay.

Louder Than Life was historic for kicking off the partnership between DWP and legendary rock act Metallica, who is headlining two nights with two unique sets at each of DWP’s events this fall. Beginning at Louder Than Life, Metallica’s appearances featured a classic hits set on Friday, September 24 as well as a performance of Metallica (The Black Album) back to front in its entirety on Sunday, September 26 to commemorate the record’s 30th anniversary in 2021.

There were several other important milestones throughout the festival weekend including Judas Priest making a stop on their 50th anniversary tour, Anthrax celebrating 40 years and Machine Gun Kelly playing tracks from his album Tickets To My Downfall on the one-year-to-the-day anniversary of the album’s release on September 25. Ayron Jones also paid tribute to the 30th anniversary of Nirvana’s Nevermind album offering a cover of “Breed” during his set.

Other memorable performances included rousing headline sets from Disturbed and KORN – one of the first appearances back for guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer after recovering from COVID-19. As well, Gojira debuted material from their album Fortitude in their performance. Many sets also featured guest stars such as Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett making an unannounced appearance with Judas Priest, Tye Trujillo (son of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo) appearing with his dad’s former band Suicidal Tendencies and The Hu on stage with Pennywise.

Says Courier Journal of the weekend, “It’s back and it’s amazing,” while adding, “Between the revolving slate of bands playing across three stages, plus too many beer, whiskey and food tents to count and a bunch of stands selling shirts, guitars and other merch, entertainment was easy to come by.”

Local news station WDRB also said, “Big crowds make for [an] amazing atmosphere as Louder Than Life kicks off in Louisville.”

LEO Weekly contemplated, "How will DWP top this for Louder Than Life 2022? I don’t know, but I’m looking forward to seeing you all there again for it."

In addition to the 70 music acts over 4 days, with performances on three stages, festivalgoers were able to enjoy award-winning bourbons, whiskey, spirits, craft beer, and the best food Louisville has to offer and sponsor activations that celebrated the bourbon culture and culinary heritage of this unique American city.

All weekend long, festival fans were also treated to exclusive interviews with bands playing Louder Than Life courtesy of the crew behind “That Space Zebra Show,” including KORN, Breaking Benjamin, Cypress Hill and Avatar. Interviews can be watched on DWPresents Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/dwpresents. As well, Metal Ambassador and SiriusXM host Jose Mangin was a part of the weekend, exclusively chatting with acts like Ice Nine Kills and Tremonti.

Producer Danny Wimmer Presents is pleased to report that almost 99% of festivalgoers this year arrived with proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID test – and others were able to receive convenient rapid testing onsite in order to access the event without delay.

Metal giants Metallica continued their partnership with DWP at Aftershock, delivering an incredible two unique sets over two nights including hits from the band’s 40-year catalogue on Friday, October 8 as well as playing Metallica (The Black Album) in full from back to front in honor of the record’s 30th anniversary.

Other memorable moments at the 9th edition of Aftershock included a headlining appearance from The Original Misfits on Saturday, October 9 who helped usher in the Halloween season with a rousing horror-punk performance as well as a Thursday closing set from Cypress Hill. Earlier that day, the festival offered a not-to-be-missed Bay Area thrash metal showdown with Testament, Exodus (reuniting with drummer Tom Hunting) and Death Angel providing an apt preview for fellow locals, Metallica. A recently reunited Mudvayne also appeared on Saturday, October 9.

Some sets also featured guest stars such as Tye Trujillo (son of Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo) appearing with his dad’s former band Suicidal Tendencies; Rise Against’s Tim McIlrath joining Pennywise to cover Minor Threat; and Dropkick Murphys on stage with Rancid.

Aftershock also honed in on rising talent including the first major festival appearance for Mammoth WVH, the project of Wolfgang Van Halen, son of the late Eddie Van Halen.

East Bay Express and Mercury News said Aftershock was “shaping up to be a tremendously successful festival,” adding, “While some festivals try to be everything to everybody, booking a diverse lineup that will hopefully appeal to the broadest amount of listeners, Aftershock goes the other direction and keeps a tight focus on all things heavy — mostly metal and hard rock, sprinkled with a bit of punk and hip-hop. In that sense, it’s a niche festival, but one that is also able to draw 30,000-plus fans per day. It’s become the place to be for headbangers over the years, annually offering up the best that these heavy music genres have to offer.”

As well, Sacramento Bee said, “The return of the Aftershock Festival following a 2020 hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic is one of the country’s most anticipated hard rock events this year. With a combined attendance of about 150,000 from the festival’s opening night on Thursday to a show closing set from Metallica on Sunday, Aftershock is also music to the ears of civic and tourism officials who are eager for a much needed economic boost."
 

The event (sold out for the fifth consecutive year) is estimated to have brought in $30 million to the local economy with 75% of the attendees traveling to Aftershock from outside the region, according to Mike Testa, CEO of Visit Sacramento.

In addition to the 60 music acts over 4 days, with performances on three stages, festivalgoers were able to enjoy some of the best food and drinks that the Sacramento area has to offer, as well as various sponsor activations and experiences.

As well, all weekend long, festival fans were treated to exclusive interviews with bands playing Aftershock courtesy of the crew behind “That Space Zebra Show,” including Cypress Hill, Rise Against, Seether, Steel Panther, Body Count and dozens more. Interviews can be watched now on DWPresents Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/dwpresents. As well, Metal Ambassador and SiriusXM host Jose Mangin was a part of the weekend, introducing various acts ahead of their performances.

The event brought the 2021 festival year to a close for Brew Ha Ha Productions – capping the biggest year to date for the premier craft beer & music festival producers.

In addition to Pennywise and NOFX, Punk In The Park featured performances from The Vandals, Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, Lagwagon, Bouncing Souls, Fear, Strung Out, TSOL, a surprise appearance by Voodoo Glow Skulls and more. Fans 21+ were able to enjoy three hours of craft beer tasting each day from some of the best craft breweries in the region, including Orange County’s newest brewery (co-owned by Brew Ha Ha’s Cameron Collins), Rad Beer Co., plus Artifex Brewing, Belching Beaver, Brewery X, Stone Brewing, Wild Barrel Brewing and many more.

“Fans of craft beer and punk rock showed up ready to party for the sold-out first day of the inaugural two-day Punk In The Park beer and music festival,” wrote Kelli Skye Fadroski for the Orange County Register. “The excitement was contagious…It was also a family-friendly affair, with some attendees bringing kids along. There was an adorable new generation of punk rock fans on-site dancing, play-moshing and eating pizza.”

Pennywise brought their friends to the party for Saturday night’s closing set, with NOFX’s Fat Mike joining the band for a cover of Bad Religion’s “Do What You Want,” while Jakob Nowell of LAW (son of Sublime’s late Bradley Nowell) took vocal duties for a cover of Sublime’s “Same In The End.” NOFX returned the favor Sunday night, calling out Pennywise’s Fletcher Dragge on stage, as well as being joined by Dance Hall Crashers’ Karina Deniké. Other highlights included always-humorous sets from The Vandals and Me First And The Gimme Gimmes (joined by Fat Mike and “traveling Gimme” CJ Ramone), and Lagwagon playing their complete album Double Plaidinum.

“Punk In The Park has been a long time coming. It was supposed to happen prior to the pandemic, and it was a very frustrating time waiting for the all-clear for an event of this scale,” said festival creator Cameron Collins of Brew Ha Ha Productions. “One thing is certain: IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! I have never seen so much camaraderie, excitement and enthusiasm at a festival we’ve produced!”

Punk In The Park was the culmination of a big year for Brew Ha Ha Productions. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Brew Ha Ha’s run of successful events also included a pair of one-day Punk In The Park events in Denver and Phoenix, three stops for the touring Punk In Drublic festival (Denver, Pittsburgh, and Worcester, MA), and Southern California events Silverado Showdown, Summer Roots and Brew Ska Ska at Oak Canyon Park, plus perennial favorites Brew Hee Haw and Boo Ha Ha at the OC Fairgrounds.

Look for 2022 Brew Ha Ha events to be announced soon.

An eclectic beach-focused lineup of more than 55 top music artists across the spectrum of rock, indie, jam, reggae, and more has been announced for the 3rd edition of BeachLife Festival, Los Angeles County’s only coastal three-day immersive experience uniquely celebrating beach culture. Held May 13-15, 2022, Southern California’s premier live music, art, and culinary experience takes place on the picturesque waterfront in Redondo Beach, CA.

Headliners Weezer (Friday), The Smashing Pumpkins (Saturday) and Steve Miller Band (Sunday) will be joined by a wide range of talent rarely booked together for the same event, including 311, Sheryl Crow, Vance Joy, Black Pumas, Lord Huron, Stone Temple Pilots, UB40 feat. Ali Campbell, Cold War Kids and many more, performing on four stages.

All tickets for BeachLife Festival are on sale now at www.BeachLifeFestival.com.

The boutique, family-friendly destination event debuted in 2019 and focuses on philanthropy, as well as eco-friendly and sustainable initiatives. Based on the success of the 2019 and sold-out 2021 events, Forbes has dubbed BeachLife “the little festival that could.”

BeachLife was co-founded by local Allen Sanford and Rob Lissner, along with support from Partner and SpeakEasy Stage curator Jim Lindberg (Pennywise / solo artist / author) as an alternative offering to the typical festival, with high level attention to food & beverage, curation, and detail.

“Especially during these dynamic and uncertain times, BeachLife Festival has become something that the beach community can look forward to, breathe easy, and smile. Watching the greatest bands in the world with the ocean breeze of the Pacific and the sunset at our back is something that we never get tired of, and we look forward to sharing that experience again to a sold-out but spaced out audience,” said BeachLife co-founder / producer Allen Sanford.

SpeakEasy Stage curator Jim Lindberg said, “The Jack Daniel’s SpeakEasy Stage was such a huge success that of course we have to bring it back this year. This time out we have our good friend the legendary Art Alexakis of Everclear, prolific punk rock singer/songwriter Joey Cape of Lagwagon, Yotam Ben Horin of Useless ID, Dan Kelly from Fortunate Youth and Moi Juarez from Tomorrows Bad Seeds, among many more. Just like last year, the Jack Daniel’s SpeakEasy is going to be the place to be all weekend - just keep it in the family!”

The current music lineup for BeachLife Festival is as follows (subject to change):

Friday, May 13: Weezer, 311, Black Pumas, Cold War Kids, Milky Chance, Cannons, Atlas Genius, Jim Lindberg (Pennywise), Long Beach Dub Allstars, The Aggrolites, Hoist the Colors, Tomorrows Bad Seeds (acoustic), Joey Cape (Lagwagon), Velvet Starlings, Yotam Ben Horin (Useless ID)

Saturday, May 14: The Smashing Pumpkins, Vance Joy, Stone Temple Pilots, Capital Cities, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Matisyahu, Sugar Ray, The Record Company, Donavon Frankenreiter, Magic!, Phantom Planet, Art Alexakis (Everclear), Rita Wilson, Jeremy Buck, The Charities, Feed the Kitty

Sunday, May 15: Steve Miller Band, Sheryl Crow, Lord Huron, UB40 feat. Ali Campbell, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, The Allman Betts Band, Ozomatli, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, ALO, Landon McNamara, Dan Kelly (Fortunate Youth), The Hip Abduction, Cubensis, Wall of Sound, Latch Key Kid

BeachLife will feature music performances on four stages: HighTide Stage (main), LowTide Stage, RipTide Stage and the SpeakEasy Stage. While the first three stages are standard festival-produced stages on the waterfront, the fourth stage, The SpeakEasy Stage, presented by Jack Daniel’s, is curated by Pennywise frontman / solo artist / author Jim Lindberg and provides intimate and stripped down acoustic performances from some of punk, surf, and rock’s top names.

Philanthropy and Community is ever important to BeachLife Festival. They support many organizations in Southern California’s South Bay community and beyond, specifically as it relates to the preservation of beaches and oceans. With the help of the LA Kings and a number of national and local nonprofit organizations, BeachLife will arrange events and onsite activations to drive awareness and raise much needed funding for these important causes. Philanthropic partners include Surfrider, Heal The Bay, Walk With Sally, Life Rolls On, Wyland Foundation, Redondo Beach Education Foundation, Redondo Beach Police Foundation and the Rob Machado Foundation.

While music takes center stage at BeachLife Festival, The Daou SideStage Experience provides foodies the opportunity to be seated onstage (literally) and served a four-course meal by celebrity chefs while their favorite musicians perform. Hailed as the “best restaurant in the South Bay” by the Orange County Register, The Daou SideStage Experience is the first culinary opportunity of its kind, located on the main stage and serviced by a team of award-winning chefs that curate their menus alongside the artists curating their set lists. This is truly a “one-of-a-kind” rock star dining experience. Featured Southern California chefs will be announced in March.

In addition to this 5-star dining experience, BeachLife will offer various food and beverage options including a massive craft beer bar with local LA breweries, and multiple bars, lounges, food vendors, and food trucks across the venue, accessible to all festivalgoers.

Here’s a sample of media accolades for BeachLife Festival:

“The little festival that could…BeachLife presents a great mix of current alternative and rock and unapologetic nostalgia. Additionally, you cannot beat the beach location, which is literally on the world famous Southern California beaches. And the food and drink, especially in the VIP, were excellent...” - Forbes

“A comfortable boutique festival experience right on the Los Angeles beach” - Pollstar

“Can’t-miss destination event" - Relix

“A great weekend filled with musical light in a wide variety of sonic flavors, making BeachLife a clear hit...” – Pop Matters

Festival co-producer / co-creator Cameron Collins of Brew Ha Ha Productions said, “Punk In Drublic is one of the best touring festivals on the planet right now in my opinion. It’s pure, it’s organic and it’s everything punk rock should be. We’ve been doing it since 2017 and though we had a crap 2020 like everyone else with the pandemic, PID is back and better than ever. I can’t wait to get back out there with our people!”

Dropkick Murphys have released a video statement announcing an update for their upcoming St. Patrick’s Day Tour, which runs from February 21 – March 20:

Sadly, vocalist Al Barr’s mother was recently diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. Al, with the support of the band and his family, has made the difficult decision to not join Dropkick Murphys on the road for this run of dates, as well as the band’s upcoming summer European tour.

Vocalist Ken Casey will take lead for all songs on the St. Patrick’s Day Tour, with openers Jesse Ahern, Mikey Rivkees from The Rumjacks and Jen Razavi from The Bombpops joining him on vocals for certain songs.

Dropkick Murphys have released the following statement:

Hello everyone -

We've been hard at work rehearsing for the first St. Patrick's Day Tour in THREE YEARS.

This morning, we have very sad news to tell you. Over the last few months, Al's mother, Ingrid, has suffered a series of strokes. She has also been diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. Al, his sister and wife have been caring for Ingrid round the clock for months. Please join all of us in holding Ingrid in your prayers.

Dropkick Murphys have always been about FAMILY. And in the spirit of FAMILY FIRST, Al has had to make the very difficult decision to stay home for the rest of the year to care for his Mom, so he will not be with us on the upcoming tour or in Europe this summer. We appreciate your compassion for Al's family, and we know as part of our family you will understand and support us in dealing with these difficult times.

THE SHOW WILL GO ON with Ken covering most of Al’s parts...along with some special guests like Jesse Ahern, Mikey Rivkees from The Rumjacks and Jen Razavi from The Bombpops joining us on vocals as well. Al will be cheering us on from home - and we will see each and every one of you starting next Monday when the tour kicks off in Reading, PA!!

Love,
Dropkick Murphys

Dropkick Murphys’ traditional St. Patrick’s Day Tour wraps with four St. Patrick’s Day week Boston hometown shows and will include support from The Bombpops and The Rumjacks on most dates, with Jesse Ahern opening each show. Jim Lindberg of Pennywise is confirmed as a special guest for the final show on March 20 at Roadrunner.

Danny Wimmer Presents is pleased to announce the much-anticipated return of the one-of-a-kind Bourbon & Beyond destination festival, is heading back to its home at Louisville’s Highland Festival Grounds at Kentucky Exposition Center September 15-18, 2022.

Five years ago, DWP – already running strong with Louder Than Life – imagined an idea to further explore Louisville as a unique American destination city, one at the crossroads of great music and incredible food in the heart of Bourbon country.

The idea for Bourbon & Beyond was born, bringing in an eclectic lineup of music all-stars (including acts such as Stevie Nicks, Robert Plant And The Sensational Space Shifters, Zac Brown Band, Daryl Hall & John Oates, John Fogerty, ZZ Top and Lenny Kravitz among others), alongside top-notch culinary demonstrations and the finest bourbon selections, as well as appearances from master distillers. In short order the event established itself as the World’s Largest Bourbon & Music Festival, in 2019 bringing in a record attendance of 91,000 people.

“We are thrilled to welcome back one of the greatest music and food festivals, Bourbon & Beyond. As the home of Bourbonism, our city boasts 10 distillery experiences and the Urban Bourbon Experience, a city-wide trail filled with award-winning micro-distilleries, exhibits, and craft cocktail destinations. Pair that with the world-class entertainment at Bourbon & Beyond and you have the perfect recipe for an unforgettable long weekend in Louisville,” said Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. “Cheers to the teams at Danny Wimmer Presents, Kentucky Venues and Louisville Tourism for being great partners in our city’s growth and momentum and for pulling together, yet again, another incredible festival for this September.”

Danny Wimmer Presents founder Danny Wimmer added, “Bourbon & Beyond is a festival that is so much about, and defined by, the culture in Kentucky. We are so ecstatic to bring it back and so thankful for the great relationship DWP has with the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Kentucky Venues, City of Louisville and Louisville Tourism, which has allowed Bourbon & Beyond to become such a source of pride for the community and bourbon industry. With Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life both back, and bigger than ever, there’s no better place to be this September than Louisville.”

“Along with those around the country, we celebrate the return of major festivals such as Bourbon & Beyond to the Kentucky Exposition Center. The complete experience planned by Danny Wimmer Presents highlights Kentucky's best-kept secrets: its entertainment, food, beverage and hospitality,” said David S. Beck, President & CEO of Kentucky Venues.

The festival’s return in 2022 will mark Bourbon & Beyond’s most impressive venture yet, expanding to four full days for the first time in the event’s history. The lineup promises to include a star-studded selection of the best classic rock, americana, alt rock and bluegrass with 50-plus bands on three stages, alongside hands-on bourbon workshops and tastings, culinary programming with celebrity chefs, and the return of fan favorites The Kroger Big Bourbon Bar, The Silver Dollar Hunter’s Club featuring rare bourbons, Tiki Barrel Bar, craft beer, speakeasies and more that will make it the most wide-ranging festival weekend of the year. The full music lineup and more details will be announced in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, fans can lock in early bird prices, with weekend General Admission and VIP passes (including premier tiers The Mint VIP Experience and Beyond VIP Top Shelf presented by Angel’s Envy) and camping on sale now for just $10 down.

In addition, fans can purchase the Exacta Pass, which includes general admission to both Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life.  Fan can enjoy all eight festival days for only $449, plus fees. The Exacta Pass will sell fast as it is only available in an extremely limited capacity.

“We really captured lightning in a [bourbon] bottle with this lineup. Honestly, it’s one of the best billed festivals in 2022,” says Danny Wimmer Presents founder Danny Wimmer said. “Between Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life on back-to-back weekends, there is no better place to be this fall than Kentucky.

Iconic bands Bad Religion and Dropkick Murphys headline a powerful lineup that also includes Face To Face, The Bouncing Souls, Anti-Flag, Adolescents, The Flatliners, The Bronx, Voodoo Glow Skulls, CH3, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Mercy Music, The Vulturas, Slaughterhouse, TV Party, Suzi Moon and many more.

Tickets for the second annual Punk In The Park go on sale Wednesday, May 11 at 10:00 AM PT at www.PunkInThePark.com. The full music and craft beer lineup will be announced in the coming weeks.

Jay Bentley of Bad Religion said, “We are playing a hometown show with our long-time pals, the Adolescents, and our new friends, Slaughterhouse. THAT is where we want to be!”

Punk In The Park is produced by Brew Ha Ha Productions (BHHP), known for their diverse, award-winning beer-centric events and music festivals across the United States.

Bad Religion, formed in 1980 in the suburbs of Los Angeles, has become synonymous with intelligent and provocative West Coast punk rock and is considered one of the most influential and important bands in the genre. Bad Religion has continually pushed social boundaries and questioned authority and beliefs armed only with propulsive guitars, charging drumbeats, thoughtful lyrics and an undying will to inspire and provoke anyone who will listen.

Dropkick Murphys proudly remain Boston’s rock ‘n’ roll underdogs turned champions. Since 1996, they’ve created the kind of music that’s meant to be chanted at last call, in packed arenas, and during the fourth quarter, third period, or ninth inning of a comeback rally. Their celebrated discography includes four consecutive Billboard top 10 album debuts, along with the near double platinum classic “I’m Shipping Up To Boston.”

Punk In The Park will offer up to three hours of craft beer tasting (Noon – 3:00 PM) for those 21+, showcasing an impressive selection of craft beers, including some of the region’s best. Attendees will also enjoy food for purchase from local food trucks and vendors, with vegan options available.

Event producer Cameron Collins of Brew Ha Ha Productions said, “Punk In The Park is arguably the greatest punk rock festival ever to happen in Southern California. If anyone says different, let me know ‘cause I want to argue with them about it!”

General Admission weekend tickets for Punk In The Park start at $95 (plus fees). VIP weekend tickets are also available and provide access to designated areas with shade, upgraded restrooms and a VIP Bar. Both General Admission and VIP tickets provide access to music performances and craft beer tasting from Noon - 3:00 PM (for 21+). Doors open at Noon each day for this all-ages event.

Brew Ha Ha Productions is the nation's most successful and respected craft beer and music festival producer, known for their diverse, award-winning beer-centric events and music festivals across the United States, including Punk In Drublic Craft Beer & Music Festival; Silverado Showdown; Summer Roots; Punk In The Park; Sabroso Taco, Craft Beer & Music Festival; Driftwood Country, Craft Beer & BBQ Festival; BHHP’s flagship OC Brew Ha Ha; Brew Hee Haw at the OC Fair; Brew Ho Ho Holiday Ale Festival; OC Boo Ha Ha Haunted Oktoberfest and more.

Punk In The Park is located at 5305 E. Santiago Canyon Road in Silverado, CA and is less than two hours from Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. It’s also just a short drive from John Wayne Airport in Irvine, CA. The park features 14 acres of grass adjacent to a small lake, with many mature oak trees providing ample shade.

As always, health and safety of festival patrons is of utmost importance. The festival producers are working with local health authorities to ensure that the event is safe and in compliance with all local regulations.

The festival producers encourage attendees to drink responsibly.

Look for The Stowaways' 2023 roster to be announced #soon.

ShipRocked 2023 departs from Port Canaveral, Florida with stops at Half Moon Cay in The Bahamas, Grand Turk in Turks & Caicos Islands, and Dominican Republic’s Amber Cove. A very limited number of staterooms are still available at www.ShipRocked.com and a waitlist option will be offered once the cruise is sold out.

Jonny Hawkins of Nothing More said, “We’re really stoked to get back on ShipRocked and see everyone. We’re going to have a new album out by the time this rolls around. Can’t wait to play it for everyone. Let’s do this!"

Skillet said, “We are thrilled to be playing ShipRocked next year! Can’t wait to take a cruise with our fans and rock out at sea!”

"Announcing the ShipRocked lineup is like Christmas morning, every year! Everyone likes to open their packages and get just what they asked for, so we try our best to book as many of the artists that we know our guests have on their wish lists – but also give them something they weren’t expecting that we know they’ll love," said ShipRocked producer and creator Alan Koenig of ASK4 Entertainment. "Falling In Reverse and their co-headliner, who we’ll announce in early June, have been heavily requested for a number of years, and we couldn’t be more excited for them to make their ShipRocked debuts in January. In addition to the 'big gifts' we’ve got a number of amazing presents and stocking stuffers for our SR23 kids to enjoy, including several fan faves and some incredible up-and coming-artists. It’s gonna be a very Merry ShipRocked!"

A floating music festival, a rock & roll summer camp held in the dead of winter, a family reunion for the growing number of ShipRockers who have forged lifelong relationships out of a shared passion for music (and an occasional bucket of beer) – ShipRocked is the premier rock music vacation, offering dozens of performances and unique collaborations, artist-hosted events and activities, theme nights, and ample opportunity for fans and bands alike to unwind and create new friendships in tropical paradise.

Here’s what some guests have said about ShipRocked:

“I don’t go on ShipRocked for vacation; ShipRocked is where I go home.” – Josh G

“There are no strangers on ShipRocked, only friends and family you haven’t met yet!” – Evelyn K

“It’s like therapy for the soul. No matter what differences we have and how bad the real world is, when we step on board it all goes away!” – Cindy M

“ShipRocked honestly changed my life. I’ve met the most incredible people who have become part of my family. Best. Vacation. Ever.” – Heather S

“ShipRocked…where I found my tribe, my vibe, and came alive!” – Jean K

“ShipRocked is a real life ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ with the best soundtrack ever.” – Jenna I

“ShipRocked is the only place I can fully just be *me*, find love and acceptance, make new friends and family, and connect with musicians whose work has changed my life in amazing ways.” – Katie B

“ShipRocked completely ruins any other music festival you will ever go to. Nothing else can even compete.” – Brian W

ShipRocked 2022 featured performances from over 20 artists including Lamb Of God and Corey Taylor, plus Steel Panther, Badflower, Avatar, P.O.D., 10 Years, Nonpoint, Drowning Pool, Dead Sara, Escape The Fate, Ayron Jones, Goodbye June and more, as well as artist-hosted events and activities at sea and on the beaches of Playa Mia in Cozumel, Mexico.

The annual ShipRocked Cancer Sucks Charity Auction, hosted by Lamb Of God’s Art Cruz and Butcher Babies’ Heidi Shepherd, raised nearly $70,000, bringing the all-time total to more than $800,000 raised for cancer research. Two lucky guests even joined Art Cruz for an onstage photo during Lamb Of God’s closing night set after outbidding others for the opportunity, which was paired with a Lamb Of God drumhead and more.

Metal Edge appraised the jubilant spirit of ShipRocked 2022: “The days were wondrous, the nights were epic, and the Gulf Of Mexico may never be the same…Rock hard? We did it. Vacation harder? Mission accomplished.”

Throughout the year, ShipRocked’s community of “ShipRockers”--as well as others from around the world--are staying connected via “Making Waves – The ShipRocked Podcast,” which launched in 2020 and is available for free through iTunes, Spotify and Google Podcasts. “Making Waves” features interviews with ShipRocked alumni artists, as well as other top music artists, actors and entertainment industry experts.

BeachLife Festival, Southern California’s premier three-day live music, art, and culinary experience, is proud to announce its 2022 return to Seaside Lagoon in Redondo Beach, CA on September 16-18 for the first annual BeachLife Ranch Country & Americana festival.

The initial music lineup for BeachLife Ranch includes The Lumineers, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Brandi Carlile, Dierks Bentley, Wilco, Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real, and a very special performance of Songs Of Waylon Jennings, featuring Shooter Jennings & surprise guests. Look for the full list of music artists to be announced in the coming weeks.

Weekend tickets for BeachLife Ranch are on sale now at www.BeachLifeRanch.com.

BeachLife Ranch follows the success of BeachLife Festival, which established itself in 2019 as a boutique, family-friendly beach party focused on Southern California’s surf and skate culture. This year’s sold out BeachLife Festival (May 13-15) featured performances from iconic music artists including The Smashing Pumpkins, Steve Miller Band, Weezer, Sheryl Crow, 311 and more.

Due to demand from the Southern California community and music fans around the world, BeachLife producers created BeachLife Ranch for fall 2022. The festival will feature country, Americana, and outlaw country artists performing on the picturesque waterfront of the Pacific Ocean.

BeachLife Ranch co-founder / producer Allen Sanford said, “We’re excited to celebrate the ‘cowboy surfer’ way of life — making memories, weekend barbecuing and listening to tunes, whether on a ranch or at the beach. This festival is inspired by growing up in Southern California and spending summers in Central California trail riding on horses all day, then coming home to wash up for a sunset BBQ of Santa Maria tri-tip with all the fixins. It’s different from surf & skate beach culture, but the vibe is the same, and something we want to celebrate: love and respect for the outdoors, nature, friends and community. We invite you to the only major country and Americana festival on the beach in Southern California.”

BeachLife’s exclusive dining SideStage Experience will also return to BeachLife Ranch with a southern flair featuring smoked meats and BBQ options, with a bit of “Texas heat” influencing the top-notch cuisine. The SideStage Experience is the best seat in the house to dine, providing guests the opportunity to be seated onstage while their favorite musicians perform and enjoy a four-course meal from a celebrity chef, with the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop. Steve Baltin of Forbes proclaimed, “Located on a platform adjacent to the main stage, known as the HighTide stage, the dinner or brunch is one of the best VIP deals at any festival in America.”

BeachLife Festival and BeachLife Ranch are proud to support the Los Angeles South Bay community via philanthropy, as well as eco-friendly and sustainable initiatives, specifically related to the preservation of beaches and oceans, as well as the local community. With a number of national and local nonprofit organizations as philanthropic partners, BeachLife features onsite activations to drive awareness and raise funds for these important causes.

Weekend tickets for BeachLife Ranch are on sale now at www.BeachLifeRanch.com. 3-Day General Admission passes can be purchased for $299. BeachLife Ranch is also offering a new ticket type, General Admission Plus, for $379, which provides festival entry for three days along with unlimited ins and outs for patrons. 3-Day VIP passes are available for $699 and the 3-day Admiral Passes are $995, offering an assortment of new and upgraded amenities. In addition, the exclusive 3-Day Outlaw Pass includes perks such as a hosted bar, private bungalows, and valet parking for $2999. For added luxury, space, and privacy, BeachLife Ranch also offers private cabana suites for larger groups & parties available for purchase.

BeachLife Festival, which launched its third successful event May 13-15, 2022, was able to help raise over $120,000 for its local and national nonprofit partners.
Southern California’s premiere three-day live music, art, and culinary experience embodies the surf/skate/beach culture of Southern California and prides itself on being family-friendly, as well as locally and environmentally focused. Each year, BeachLife Festival is proud to support some of the philanthropies championing the causes they care about most. This includes a focus on supporting the local community and the protection of our beaches and oceans. BeachLife’s May 2022 nonprofits included: Heal the Bay, Surfrider Foundation, The Redondo Beach Educational Foundation, The Redondo Beach Police Foundation, Life Rolls On, Walk With Sally, The South Bay Parkland Conservancy, The Wyland Foundation and The Rob Machado Foundation.

The May 13-15, 2022 Beachlife Festival featured musical performances from iconic musical artists such as Weezer, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Steve Miller Band, 311, Sheryl Crow and more. The festival was received with huge accolades and great reviews. Steve Baltin at Forbes proclaimed, “BeachLife is keeping the California dream alive.” And continued to describe BeachLife as “…a Redondo Beach-based festival that has perfectly encapsulated the world that Brian Wilson (who appropriately headlined year one) and the Beach Boys dreamed about in song.”

BeachLife worked hard in the months before and during the festival cycle to raise money for its affiliated nonprofits through a silent auction, fundraising events and ticket donations.

BeachLife’s onsite silent auction, which was also open online to non-festival goers, offered various signed musical artist memorabilia along with travel packages, experiences, meals and a number of other items and raised money for its philanthropic partners. Additionally, BeachLife held a number of events they call “BeachLife Backyard Games,” which are local competitions where contestants compete in games to win prizes, including BeachLife tickets, and added to the philanthropy fundraising with support from Tito’s Handmade Vodka. Beachlife also partnered with the LA Kings for a 9-hole golf event held at Terranea Resort to support the Redondo Beach Police Foundation and Redondo Beach Education Foundation. In addition, BeachLife hosted an exclusive dinner and concert to support the Redondo Beach Police Foundation, which featured BeachLife’s own beloved artists, Jim Lindberg and Donavon Frankenreiter.

These events, along with support from brand partners such as Tito’s Handmade Vodka, allowed BeachLife to help make this huge philanthropic impact for its May 2022 festival. To celebrate, BeachLife wrapped up their May festival fundraising with an intimate wrap party last week, and were able to present a symbolic check to their philanthropic partners for $120,000, representing the money that BeachLife was able to assist in raising for all of their causes.

Festival co-founder Rob Lissner commented, ”Each year our goal is to shine a light on these amazing nonprofit organizations and help make a greater financial impact to support the worthy causes they represent. It’s amazing to see how our program has evolved in just a few years with more brands and the community leaning in to help make a difference. The good news is that we’re just getting started.”

BeachLife hopes to raise even more funds for its nonprofit partners in the future. Preparations are currently underway for the first inaugural BeachLife Ranch (September 16-18), which will feature Americana and country music from The Lumineers, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Dierks Bentley, Brandi Carlile, Wilco and more. For BeachLife Ranch, the nonprofit mission and focus will be slightly different than for BeachLife Festival. BeachLife Ranch is dedicated to working with local and national nonprofits focused on the protection and well being of our veterans, community and country, and will highlight a few veterans and military support organizations as well as local community support organizations. Partner philanthropies for September’s BeachLife Ranch include the Gary Sinise Foundation, Semper Fi & America’s Fund, Redondo Beach Police Foundation, and Venice Family Clinic, which encompasses South Bay Family Health Care in Redondo Beach.

Tickets are on sale now for BeachLife Ranch at https://beachliferanch.frontgatetickets.com. BeachLife Ranch will be located at the same venue as BeachLife Festival at 137 N. Harbor Drive, Redondo Beach, CA 90277.

Grammy Award-winning roots band Old Crow Medicine Show and John Doe Folk Trio (featuring the prolific singer/songwriter of X and The Knitters) have been added to the lineup for the first annual BeachLife Ranch Country & Americana festival, September 16-18 on the Pacific Ocean waterfront in Redondo Beach, CA.
 
In addition, the preliminary list of guests for the very special Songs Of Waylon Jennings performance has been revealed. Songs Of Waylon Jennings will feature Shooter Jennings performing a full set of his father’s music alongside his friends Yelawolf, Devon Allman, Lukas Nelson, White Buffalo, Mike & The Moonpies and several other very special guests. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime show, celebrating Waylon Jennings, the pioneer of Outlaw Country. For nearly two decades, Shooter Jennings has carried on that tradition and defied expectations while constantly expanding the parameters of country, rock ‘n’ roll, and beyond.
 
Shooter Jennings said, "I’m very excited to bring such an immensely talented group together to celebrate my father's music this fall. The music of Waylon Jennings has reverberated through multiple generations of talented artists and has become a pillar of Country music. Together, with my friends and peers, I am proud to bring this beautiful tribute to the BeachLife Ranch festival."
 
As previously announced, BeachLife Ranch will also feature an all-star lineup of top talent including: The Lumineers, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Brandi Carlile, Dierks Bentley, Ashley McBryde, Wilco, Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real, The Infamous Stringdusters, The White Buffalo, Drive-By Truckers, Maddie & Tae, Jamestown Revival, Waxahatchee, Pete Yorn, Greensky Bluegrass and more.

BeachLife Ranch was created in 2022 to celebrate the fusion of California country and beach life culture, following May’s sold-out BeachLife Festival. Southern California’s premier three-day live music, art, and culinary experience established itself in 2019 as a boutique, family-friendly beach party focused on surf and skate culture.
 
BeachLife’s exclusive dining SideStage Experience will be a core element of BeachLife Ranch, with a southern flair featuring smoked meats and BBQ options, with a bit of “Texas heat” influencing the top-notch cuisine. The SideStage Experience is the best seat in the house to dine, providing guests the opportunity to be seated onstage  and enjoy a four-course meal from a celebrity chef while their favorite musicians perform, with the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop. Steve Baltin of Forbes proclaimed, “Located on a platform adjacent to the main stage, known as the HighTide stage, the dinner or brunch is one of the best VIP deals at any festival in America.”
 
BeachLife Ranch is dedicated to supporting local and national nonprofit organizations focused on the protection and well-being of veterans and the community. With a number of national and local nonprofit organizations as philanthropic partners, BeachLife Ranch will feature onsite activations to drive awareness and raise funds for these important causes.
 
Weekend and single day General Admission and VIP tickets, as well as the Admiral Pass and Outlaw Pass, for BeachLife Ranch are on sale now at www.BeachLifeRanch.com.

SMOKIN’ and SIPPIN’: Pairing Cigars With Whiskey - (tasting 1 cigar and 1 rye whiskey)

Moderator: Mark Miller (Smokeasy Mobile Cigar Lounge)

Panelists: Julian Van Winkle (Old Rip Van Winkle), Carrie Van Winkle Greener (Pappy & Co) , Mark Ryan (L.A. Poche Perique Tobacco) and Josh Roque (Drew Estate)

According to Advanced Mixology magazine, “There are various reasons why cigars work well with whiskey, but perhaps the most common is their very similar flavors. You can find richness, smokiness, essences of spice, and a bit of sweetness. The warmth of a cigar brings comfort to your mouth, while whiskey brings stomach fire to keep away the cold! Both are also meant to be savored slowly.” The coveted line of Pappy Van Winkle bourbon is no exception and is the reason why Pappy & Company offers some of the most unique bourbon barrel-aged cigars in the world. Join Carrie Van Winkle Greener and her cigar partners from Drew Estate to discover what makes the Pappy cigars so special and why her dad, bourbon legend Julian Van Winkle, thinks rye whiskey is the perfect pairing.

Hailed by Forbes as “one of America’s most unique festival offerings,” Bourbon & Beyond returned in a big way this past weekend, bringing in over 140,000 attendees, breaking an attendance record for the festival.

Held over four days for the first time – September 15-18 – at the Highland Festival Grounds At The Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, the World’s Largest Bourbon & Music Festival offered something for everyone. The one-of-a-kind entertainment offerings included some of the best and brightest music stars in Americana, roots, blues, country and rock n roll, as well as a range of culinary programming from some of the country’s top chefs and a wide palette of bourbon tastings and workshops celebrating the rich culture of Louisville.

Bourbon & Beyond’s memorable music performances included a rousing set by fan favorites Pearl Jam on Saturday in their only U.S. festival appearance this year. It was also the first time the band has played a Danny Wimmer Presents festival and their first time back in Louisville since 1994. The quartet played a number of hits from their classic debut album Ten and ended with a cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain.” Earlier in the day, singer Eddie Vedder made a surprise appearance during a set from Crowded House’s Neil Finn and son Liam Finn. Vedder guested on “World Where You Live” by Crowded House as well as “I Got You” by Neil Finn’s former band Split Enz.

Sunday’s headliner and Kentucky native Chris Stapleton delivered a stacked set that merged country, southern rock and blues and showed why he’s been named the Academy of Country Music’s first-ever Artist-Songwriter of the Decade. In addition to his mega hits like “Parachute,” Stapleton also brought out guitarist Mike Campbell for a few songs. Campbell – known as a member of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers – had a set earlier in the day with his band The Dirty Knobs and later joined Stapleton for a cover of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers’ “I Should Have Known it” as well as the song “Arkansas” that he wrote with Stapleton.

Thursday night closed with a knock-out set from Jack White, who covered parts of his entire catalog with solo works as well as numbers from The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather including “The Hardest Button To Button” and “Steady As She Goes.” The performance comes at a time that American Songwriter calls “one of the most significant years” in his life.
 
Friday night also featured headliner Kings Of Leon fresh off a summer tour of Europe and their first show in Louisville since 2017, delivering hits like “Sex On Fire” and “Use Somebody.” Also that day the Followill family unveiled their brand-new whiskey line "Kiamichi” at Bourbon & Beyond, which offers a 5-year rye, 8-year rye, and a 19-year bourbon available to buy later this year.
 
Other memorable performances included The Doobie Brothers 50th anniversary celebration featuring Michael McDonald, Pat Simmons, Tom Johnston and John McFee, Brandi Carlile, Alanis Morissette, Greta Van Fleet, Father John Misty, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, St. Vincent, NEEDTOBREATHE, The Revivalists, Caamp, Japanese Breakfast, Lukas Nelson & POTR, Courtney Barnett, Cold War Kids, Marcus King, and many more. In total, 80 artists played on four stages throughout the weekend.
 
In addition to music, there was also a very special appearance by the stars of “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia,” Glenn Howerton, Charlie Day and Rob McElhenney, who brought their popular “The Always Sunny Podcast” on the road for the first ever live taping in the podcast’s history. The trio also stopped by the Kentucky Venues Culinary Stage presented by Kentucky Proud and GE for a matchup with chef Tiffani Faison in which they cooked and chatted about their new Four Walls Irish American Whiskey.
 
Other programming on the Culinary Stage (hosted by Ed Lee and Chris Santos of respective Top Chef and Chopped fame) included Santos in the ultimate burger showdown with Sam and Jake Kizka of Greta Van Fleet; Sam won with his incredible take on an Impossible burger. There was also chef Antonia Lofaso who teamed up with Hogslop String Band, as well as Gin Wigmore guesting in Amanda Freitag’s cooking demo and Neil Finn joining Sri Lankan-American chef Sam Fore who hails from Lexington, Kentucky.
 
In addition, James Beard nominee Anthony Lamas of Louisville’s Seviche curated a fine dining experience for Beyond VIP and Rocks Room presented by Zelle guests throughout the festival weekend, the latter offering a one-of-a-kind dinner and a show opportunity with intimate performances from St. Vincent, Caamp, Courtney Barnett and Shakey Graves.
 
The Team Kentucky Bourbon Stage hosted by Chris Blandford and Trish Suhr also had memorable activities including crowning the winner of the Louisville Cocktail Competition presented by Kroger, after Mayor Greg Fischer called on all Kentucky Bourbon Brands to participate in the event earlier this summer. Judges included Mayor Fischer as well as leading bourbon authority Fred Minnick, Black Bourbon Society’s Samara B. Davis, chef Chris Santos and Bourbon Women’s Peggy Noe Stevens. The winner was S.C. Baker with Knob Creek who took home the $15,000 cash prize and forever known as the maker of "The Louisville."
 
The Team Kentucky Bourbon Stage also featured The Vampire Diaries stars Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley discussing their hand-selected bourbon brand, Brother’s Bond with moderator Chris Blandford. Another highlight was Angel’s Envy co-founder Wes Henderson and Blackened Whiskey’s Master Distiller and blender Rob Dietrich announcing a brand-new collaboration. Additional panels included sessions and tastings with the world’s leading bourbon authority Fred Minnick, conversations about What Women Want (in Whisky), a famed roundtable featuring Kentucky’s first families of Bourbon and so much more.
 
Forbes has said of Bourbon & Beyond, “Since 2017, Bourbon & Beyond has drilled down on Kentucky’s number one export and the presence of its famed Bourbon Trail to give fans a unique opportunity to sample rare whiskeys and Kentucky bourbons. Featuring some of America’s best chefs, the Louisville festival’s celebration of the culinary arts, spirits, live music and more makes it one of America’s most unique festival offerings.”
 
Other media praise for this year’s event includes:
 
"Having been expanded to four days, this year’s Bourbon & Beyond featured an absolutely staggering lineup of music featuring more than 60 bands/artists, numerous culinary and bourbon workshops, tastings and displays, and a seemingly endless variety of bourbons and whiskeys on hand for purchase.

A massive gathering of over 170,000 music fans, more than 100 music acts and dozens of Louisville’s finest spirits came together this past weekend, helping Louder Than Life retain its reputation as the World’s Largest Whiskey & Music Festival and America’s Biggest Rock Festival.

Held September 22-25, 2022 at Highland Festival Grounds at Kentucky Exposition Center, the memorable four-day event from producer Danny Wimmer Presents pulled in people from all over the country. Along with the record-breaking Bourbon & Beyond festival from DWP the weekend prior (which brought in 140,000 people over four days), 70% of attendees came from out-of-state and contributed more than $33 million in economic impact.

DWP also released figures for the company’s total investment in the community through producing the two back-to-back events, including $4.55 million spent on local restaurants, food and beverage supplies, $2.75 million on local vendors and $2.65 million in wages to local bartenders, stagehands and security.

Louder Than Life has now announced 2023 dates, to be held over the weekend of September 21-24 at its home at the Highland Festival Grounds at Kentucky Exposition Center. Weekend GA and VIP passes, along with camping, are on sale now for $10 down at www.LouderThanLifeFestival.com.

Louder Than Life 2022 offered memorable music performances that included an incendiary headlining set from Nine Inch Nails to kick off the festivities on Thursday night. The performance was the same date the industrial metal icons celebrated the 30th anniversary of their landmark EP Broken, and they delivered several tracks from that record such as “Wish,” “Gave Up” and their cover of Pigface’s “Suck,” among other highlights in a career-spanning set list.

On Friday, headliners Slipknot unleashed a stacked performance for fans who had come dressed in masks for the occasion. The band delivered “The Dying Song (Time To Sing)” from their anticipated new album The End, So Far, which comes out September 30. Other highlights included fan favorites “Wait And Bleed” and “Duality.” Earlier in the day, Vended – featuring Simon Crahan (son of Slipknot's Clown) and Griffin Taylor (Corey Taylor’s son) – also gave their all, getting the crowd riled up in anticipation.

Saturday’s closing set came from rock legends KISS who offered 17 giant hits from their five-decades long career, including “Shout It Out Loud,” “Rock And Roll All Nite” and “Calling Dr. Love.” Appearing as part of their End Of The Road World Tour, the Louder Than Life set marked one of the final times those in Louisville will be able to see the shock rockers on a local stage.

For the finale, Red Hot Chili Peppers closed out Sunday night in one of their first shows back with all four original members in tow. The packed set list pulled from all eras of the band, including early hits like “Give It Away” and “Suck My Kiss” as well as more modern hits such as “Here Ever After,” from their latest release, this year’s Unlimited Love.

Other must-see moments included Evanescence’s Amy Lee in a surprise guest spot during Tenacious D’s performance for songs “Kyle Quit The Band” and “Lee” plus, later, Evanescence offering a livestreamed set exclusively for the DWPresents On Twitch channel; Alice In Chains delivering a number of hits from their 1992 album Dirt ahead of its 30th anniversary next week (plus a separate set from Jerry Cantrell); Neil Fallon of Clutch appearing during Mastodon’s set; Blake Ellison of Devour The Day guesting during Pop Evil’s appearance; and Body Count covering “Ace Of Spades,” dedicating the song to the late singer Lemmy Kilmister. Plus, Shinedown, Rob Zombie, Bring Me The Horizon, Alice Cooper, Incubus, Evanescence, Lamb Of God, Yungblud, Chevelle, Papa Roach, Halestorm, In This Moment, The Pretty Reckless and many more offered unforgettable performances.

In total, there were 100-plus artists on 5 stages plus an additional stage featuring commentary and artist interviews from That Space Zebra Show, hosted on DWPresents Twitch channel (https://www.twitch.tv/dwpresents) throughout the Louder Than Life weekend. The immersive backstage experience also offered streaming opportunities for each of the DWPresents Stage performances.

Since launching in June 2021, DWPresents Twitch channel has broadcasted over 958 hours, brought in 17.3 million live views, 7.21 million unique views, and viewers have consumed 75.7 million minutes of content.

Also new for Louder Than Life in 2022 was the Headbangers Hall, featuring surprise celebrity bartenders Jelly Roll, Theory Of A Deadman, Spiritbox, Crown The Empire, members of Giovannie & The Hired Guns, Royal & The Serpent, GWAR, Papa Roach and Lamb Of God, special appearances by Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin of SiriusXM, bourbon expert Fred Minnick, Dimebag Rita and treats and eats by Chef Chris Santos, as well as whiskeys by Slipknot, Metallica, ZZ Top, GWAR and Beartooth, and Iron Maiden craft brews.

Attendees at Louder Than Life also enjoyed some of the best food and drinks that the Louisville area has to offer, as well as various sponsor activations and experiences.

Here are comments from Shooter Jennings and some of the other musicians who participated in the tribute:
 
“I’ve been a part of a billion Waylon tribute type things, always as more of a representative of it than anything. But, with this idea, Allen and BeachLife gave me an opportunity to turn around and give people – who truly cared for my Dad – an opportunity to give thanks. It touched everyone there on and off stage. BeachLife gave us the perfect setting to really see how much these folks cared for my dad’s music.”  
– Shooter Jennings
 
"Whew! The Waylon Jennings Tribute set at BeachLife Ranch was one for the ages! Nothing but camaraderie and the love of the music. Shooter was a great host and BeachLife the perfect setting. The house band, Mike & the Moonpies, nailed every cut and it was an honor to be among the guests.”  
– Devon Allman
 
"It was such a magical evening and a true honor to sing the warm songs of Waylon with friends and comrades. Thanks, Shooter."
– The White Buffalo
 
"Hearing these songs back to back with these legendary cats singing was elating. And the best part…it was all Shooter’s friends! On stage it felt like a family picnic with the kids crisscrossing around, then Jessi Colter steps in and nails it like she did in 1975. Beyond my expectations. It was a big sea of love and joy coming back to me.”  
– Strange Majik (David Pattillo)
 
Here’s a sample of media praise for BeachLife Ranch:
 
“The Ranch offered an array of memorable performances celebrating its theme...” – JamBands.com, September 19, 2022
 
“Between good music, good vibes and great friends, this festival captures the best of what a country music festival is.” – All Country News, September 20, 2022
 
“Under sunny skies and mild and comfortable weather, thousands of alternative country music fans came to the beach for the inaugural three-day BeachLife Ranch country and Americana festival…” – Southern California News Group / Daily Breeze, September 17, 2022
 
“Individual highlights were a shimmering ‘California Stars’ from Wilco and a throat-catching ‘The Story’ from closer Brandi Carlile…BeachLife Ranch is already booking for 2023 and I’ll be back.” – No Depression, September 27, 2022
 
The philanthropic mission for September’s BeachLife Ranch was simple: support the local and national nonprofits dedicated to the health and well-being of veterans and community...and they did just that. Ticket donations, onsite fundraising efforts and a silent auction filled with autographed memorabilia from artists including The Lumineers, Wilco, Brandi Carlile, Dierks Bentley and more contributed to the more than $70,000 raised. BeachLife Ranch also partnered with the LA Kings and Kings Care Foundation, who made generous contributions to both the auction and BeachLife Ranch’s nonprofit partners. This year’s partners included: US VETS, Semper Fi & America’s Fund, The Venice Family Clinic, the Redondo Beach Police Foundation and the Kings Care Foundation.
 
The philanthropic presence onsite at BeachLife Ranch was a welcome addition to the weekend for both the nonprofits and festival patrons. The Yonder Stage supported St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and their Music Gives Program. A number of artists were spotted wearing their signature “This Shirt Saves Lives” t-shirt, while the festival grounds hosted numerous activations from raffles to various onsite games and prizes…all in the name of helping others!
 
BeachLife Festival is currently gearing up for its fourth edition in May 2023, with more fun, games and surprises ahead. Stay tuned...

The West Coast’s Biggest Rock Festival, Aftershock, went even bigger for its 10th anniversary year, held October 6-9 at Discovery Park in Sacramento, CA. In total, 160,000 music fans gathered for the four-day event that featured nonstop music from 90-plus bands, some of the best food and drinks that the Sacramento area has to offer, as well as various sponsor activations and experiences. The popular event brings an economic impact of $30 million to the region annually, says Visit Sacramento.

Aftershock’s memorable music performances included showstopping headline performances from chart-topping metal act Slipknot (Thursday), who played their brand-new album The End, So Far; rock icons KISS (Friday) in one of their final Northern California shows on the End Of The Road World Tour; My Chemical Romance (Saturday) as part of their anticipated reunion tour; and British rock giants Muse (Sunday), heralded as one of the best live acts in the world.

Other big draws included Lamb Of God’s performance on the same day the fan favorite metal act released their new album Omens. To celebrate, the band streamed their full set live on DWPresents on Twitch channel for fans to tune into at home, and also welcomed a rare third guitarist for the show with guest star Phil Demmel (Machine Head, Vio-lence).

Sacramento’s own Papa Roach also enjoyed one of their biggest hometown shows ever. To mark the occasion, they teamed up with UC Davis’ marching band for a voluminous performance of hit single “Born for Greatness,” and welcomed guest Jason Aalon Butler (Fever 333) for a collaboration on “Swerve.” Another memorable moment was when guitarist Jerry Horton brought out his bassist daughter Emilia for a special instrumental intro to “Scars.” Singer Jacoby Shaddix took the occasion to talk about supporting the future of music, a sentiment echoed earlier in the day when Aftershock’s official host Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin introduced his daughter Maya on stage before Halestorm’s set, sharing that Maya was inspired to start her own band by the “I Miss The Misery” hitmakers.

Jacoby Shaddix also made a couple guest appearances throughout the weekend, during Nothing More’s set on the song “Don’t Stop” and also with Ice Nine Kills for “Hip To Be Scared.”

There was also a touching tribute to Foo Fighters, who were previously scheduled to play Aftershock, by L.A. ska-punk act The Interrupters who covered the Foos’ hit “Times Like These.”

Another exclusive opportunity at Aftershock was the first chance to buy goods from Jonathan Davis’ new pet line, “Freak On A Leash” before it officially debuts worldwide on October 28. The first 100 fans in line who made a purchase also were treated to a special meet and greet with Davis at the festival, and proceeds from all sales were given to animal rescue nonprofit Take Me Home.

Aftershock was also unique for having a strong international band presence this year. In addition to U.K. headliner Muse, there were also Bring Me The Horizon (England), Nemophilia And Band-Maid (Japan), Bloodywood (India), Meshuggah (Sweden), Apocalyptica (Finland), Airbourne (Australia) and The Warning (Mexico).

Fans from around the world also were able to tune in to “That Space Zebra Show” hosted on DWPresents on Twitch channel (https://www.twitch.tv/dwpresents) throughout the Aftershock weekend, and were given an immersive backstage experience every day of the festival, featuring artist interviews and exclusive, behind-the-scenes action, as well as streaming of the DWPresents Stage performances.

DWPresents on Twitch has shared archived videos of several of the festival’s interview highlights, hosted by SiriusXM’s Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin and Shannon Gunz, singer Rue Vox and MTV’s Matt Pinfield, that originally aired live on DWPresents On Twitch throughout the weekend.

Here’s what media had to say about Aftershock this year:

"The economic boom from Aftershock is impressive. The festival started as a one-day event in 2012 and has since grown into four full days of music with an overall economic impact of more than $26 million in 2021, according to Visit Sacramento. That included more than $1.5 million in hotel and sales taxes collected by the city and county, along with the support of 7,000 jobs.” — Sacramento Bee

"Three of the most popular female-fronted acts in hard rock are set to perform at the Aftershock festival in Sacramento. We’re talking about Evanescence, the Pretty Reckless and Halestorm — led, respectively, by Amy Lee, Taylor Momsen and Lzzy Hale. Still, these three acts only hint at the staggering amount of talented female artists set to perform during the four-day festival set for Oct. 6-9 at Discovery Park. The acts hail from all corners of the heavy music universe — from emo, alt-rock and industrial to pop-metal and more…" — San Jose Mercury News

“The largest rock and heavy metal festival in the western United States is attracting fans near and far.” — KXTV ABC 10 News

In total, 160,000 music fans gathered for the four-day event that featured nonstop music from 90-plus bands, some of the best food and drinks that the Sacramento area has to offer, as well as various sponsor activations and experiences.
 
GoldenSky Country Music Festival, in partnership with Visit Sacramento, wrapped a successful inaugural year in 2022 with 50,000 people coming together in Sacramento, CA October 15-16 for two full days of music, craft beer, farm-to-fork food and more.
 
In total, the two Sacramento events included an expenditure of $26 million by Danny Wimmer Presents that went back into the local economy, including $3.1 million for area security, bartenders and stagehands; $1.8 million spent on supplies from restaurants and bars; $1.2 million paid to local vendors for equipment and services; and $540,000 spent on hotel rooms in town.

The refill stations saved more than 325,000 single-use plastics from being disposed in landfills over the course of the six concert days. In addition to reducing plastic waste and providing ultra-purified drinking water, the stations featured the latest ‘touchless’ foot pedal technology, making for safer, more sanitary drinking water.

Both festivals received widespread support and praise from local and national media.

Every year, the organizers seem to pull off something even bigger and better than the previous year, meaning that we have a lot to look forward to in 2023.” And ABC10 in Sacramento said, “GoldenSky music festival helps boost Sacramento's economy…25,000 enthusiastic country fans from all over the country made their way to Discovery Park for the GoldenSky Country Music Festival.”
 
Lineups for Aftershock and GoldenSky Country Music Festival are anticipated to be announced in early Spring 2023.

Brew Ha Ha Productions wrapped up their year of music festivals with nearly 20,000 in attendance for the second annual Punk In The Park at Oak Canyon Park in Orange County, CA on November 5 & 6. The event was headlined by seminal punk bands including Bad Religion and Dropkick Murphys and also featured performances from Face To Face, The Bouncing Souls and many more.

Festival attendees were also treated to a special surprise set from OC punk rock legends The Vandals, with Brooks Wackerman guesting on drums, who joined the bill in place of Dead Kennedys who were unable to perform due to the recent unexpected passing of their drummer D.H. Peligro.

Those 21+ also had the opportunity to sample an impressive selection of craft beers, ciders and hard seltzers during the festival’s afternoon tasting session, including some of the region’s best.

Kelli Skye Fadroski of Orange County Register / Southern CA News Group described Punk In The Park’s enthusiastic patrons, noting, “…thousands of fans showed up right as gates opened for a day of fun at the sold-out show…There was definitely something in that crisp canyon air and a palpable feeling of camaraderie and good times. Patrons rushed in to start sampling craft beers from dozens of local and regional breweries, posed for photos in front of various photo ops and installations on-site and hurried to the stages to catch the early bands…It was a solid day of music with each band really bringing an elevated performance, seemingly feeding off the positive energy from the enthusiastic crowd.”

Cameron Collins, producer of Punk In The Park and co-founder of Brew Ha Ha Productions said, “This year really set the roots in Southern California for Punk In The Park as not only a great event, but one with well thought out curation from the bands to the breweries. We live and breathe this stuff and I think that authenticity showed. We know what the fans want to see because we are fans too! This year was spectacular and we’re so stoked to announce what we’ve got planned for 2023!”

BHHP will celebrate the close of 2022 with their Brew Ho Ho Holiday Ale Festival on Saturday, December 10. The fan favorite event is returning for the first time since 2019 and will be held at a new location in 2022, on the serene lawns of Sea Terrace Park in Dana Point, CA, just steps away from the Salt Creek Beach.

Dropkick Murphys are set to wrap up their very special acoustic This Machine…Theater Tour on November 19, but won’t be gone from the road for long as they gear up for their annual St. Patrick’s Day shows. Dropkick Murphys have now announced the full run of dates for Pega Presents…Dropkick Murphys St. Patrick’s Day 2023 Tour. The full-throttle rock tour launches March 1 in Charlotte and culminates with four hometown Boston shows, March 16, 17, 18 & 19. The Rumjacks and Jesse Ahern open most shows.

The DKM St. Patrick’s Day Tour’s hometown shows in Boston include March 16, 17 and 18 at the new MGM Music Hall at Fenway and March 19 at House Of Blues Boston. Very special guests Turnpike Troubadours join Dropkick Murphys for all three shows at MGM Music Hall at Fenway, while Nikki Lane also joins the bill on March 16. Tickets for March 17, 18 and 19 are sold out, but a limited number of tickets are still available for the March 16 show, which was added due to fan demand.

Tickets for the newly announced Dropkick Murphys St. Patrick’s Day 2023 Tour shows go on sale this Friday, November 18 at 10:00 AM local time in most markets. Visit www.DropkickMurphys.com to purchase tickets.

Dropkick Murphys’ current theater tour and new album This Machine Still Kills Fascists have received widespread praise from fans and media. In a recent show review, Americana Highways noted: “The record itself, backed by [Woody] Guthrie’s kindred, rebellious spirit, hit as hard as anything the Murphys have ever done…Throughout the show, the new songs hit as well as the old favorites.”

In a review of the new album This Machine Still Kills Fascists, No Depression summed up Dropkick Murphys' connection not only to Guthrie's lyrics but to his working class ethos: "No current act has done more to preserve and advance the legacy of Woody Guthrie...Nearly 60 years since his death, the struggles of working men and women and political oppression continue unabated. Those in need remain unheard by people in power. But much like Woody Guthrie, Dropkick Murphys are still out there fighting the good fight."

As a special bonus for fans, on November 19 at 9 pm CT, Dropkick Murphys will live stream the last night of their current This Machine…Theater Tour from Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, best known as the home of the Grand Ole Opry from 1943 to 1974. Tickets for this special live stream event are available at www.DropkickMurphys.com and include a 72-hour replay window.

Fans can also check out Dropkick Murphys online via their upcoming SiriusXM Outlaw Country Session, which premieres November 18 at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT. Visit http://siriusxm.us/DKM to hear the performance.

Dropkick Murphys' album This Machine Still Kills Fascists (released via the band’s Dummy Luck Music / [PIAS]) is unlike anything they’ve done to date: A full album of songs that bring Woody Guthrie’s words to life. Not a tribute album or a collection of covers, This Machine Still Kills Fascists is a collaboration between Dropkick Murphys and Woody Guthrie – artists separated by time and space, but connected by a common philosophy – to create something entirely new.

After hosting widely successful events in Orange County, CA, Phoenix, AZ and Denver, CO—and being listed at #6 on the Orange County Register’s “20 Most Memorable Southern California Concerts Of 2022”--the Punk In The Park festival is expanding with Punk In The Park Ventura.

Fletcher Dragge of Pennywise exclaimed, “Looks like we all have another excuse to have a few beers with good friends and get crazy!! Pennywise, Suicidal, Fear, The Bronx, Drain…and more. WTF?!! This bill is wild! It’s going to be one hell of a good day. Let’s see some f*cking action people!”

Cameron Collins, producer of Punk In The Park and co-founder of Brew Ha Ha Productions said, “We’ve been very selective about where and when we take Punk In The Park on the road to other cities. Bringing it to Ventura, CA was a no brainer for us. We thought a lot about the band curation for this Ventura lineup and what the punk rockers in Ventura and surrounding areas want from Punk In The Park–Pennywise, Suicidal Tendencies…Dwarves, The Bronx (to name a few). I think we nailed it and I can’t wait for this show!”

Fans of Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith will be able to see his artistry in a whole new way during Punk Rock & Paintbrushes pop-up gallery exhibitions held at festivals this spring and summer. Smith leads the list of talent contributing original paintings that will be on display at both BeachLife Festival, held May 5-7 in Redondo Beach, California as well as Summerfest in Milwaukee June 22-24, June 29-July 1 and July 6-8.
 
Punk Rock & Paintbrushes has a mission to show the intersection of music and art by  producing onsite art exhibits at various galleries and music festivals around the world and showcasing musicians’ creativity in a whole new light, as expressed through their original artwork.
 
For Chad Smith, already a successful member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers who have sold 80 million albums, six Grammy Awards and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he went from the drum kit to canvas in 2015 with his first collection of artwork titled "Parallax” featuring 13 visuals on canvas created from rhythm. Using drumsticks that light up, much like a painter would use brushes with oils, Smith constructed the visuals through his movement behind the drums. His work in this rhythmic art form has continued ever since, having showcased more than 80 new works of art to the world.
 
“I work with people who want to grow; the Chili Peppers are open to new directions and as an artist, it’s the best creative situation to be in. It’s simple: I love what I’m doing and I’m really lucky. I got pretty good at the music thing,” says Smith.
 
In addition to Chad Smith, some of the participating artists for the upcoming BeachLife and Summerfest galleries will include Pennywise’s Jim Lindberg (also a partner in the BeachLife Festival team), LAW’s Jakob Nowell, The Revivalists’ Andrew Campanelli, Strung Out’s Jason Cruz, professional skateboarder Steve Caballero and Tiffany Anastasia Lowe, granddaughter of Johnny Cash.
 
Punk Rock & Paintbrushes  is also teaming up with a nonprofit at each event to raise funding and awareness for these important missions. The BeachLife gallery will put a focus on the Surf Rider Foundation while the Summerfest gallery will support Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services.
 
Any attendees with tickets or weekend passes to either event will be able to see the Punk Rock & Paintbrushes pop-up galleries. Find more information and tickets for BeachLife here and more information and tickets for Summerfest here.

The dynamic music lineup for ShipRocked 2024 will be led by I Prevail and will also feature Killswitch Engage, Beartooth, Highly Suspect, Code Orange, Badflower, a special solo performance from Johnny Stevens of Highly Suspect and more February 4-10, 2024 onboard Carnival Magic. The 14th sailing of ShipRocked departs from Miami, Florida, stopping in three new ports for the ultimate rock music cruise vacation: Bimini, The Bahamas; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; and Grand Cayman.

After record breaking attendance of over 4,000 guests in January 2023 and an expanded 6-day itinerary, staterooms for ShipRocked 2024 sold out in an unprecedented 3 days, well before the music lineup was announced. A waitlist is available at www.ShipRocked.com.

Here’s what some of the 2024 ShipRocked artists had to say about next year’s cruise:

Brian Berkheiser / I Prevail: "ShipRocked is an institution. And the fact we get to headline is a blessing. We are definitely ready to give all the ShipRockers a kick ass show! And defend our Family Feud title! See y’all there!"

Jesse Leach / Killswitch Engage: “Killswitch Engage, and our appropriately named High Seas Crew, are stoked to be a part of this event, and to play alongside some killer bands! We've always been about having a good time at our live shows, so this seems perfect."

Caleb Shomo / Beartooth:  "We've played ShipRocked a few times, and every time it's hard to grasp how much of a family everybody feels like out there. Many attendees are returning customers, which is a good sign of a great event. Playing out in the open water is a pretty wild feeling; nothing can come close to that. We can't wait to come back and rock the boat!”

Badflower: “ShipRocked is the epitome of rock n’ roll. And year after year it has become a family reunion with fellow bands and fans that have become friends…A true communal atmosphere and a lot of f*cking fun.”

Dorothy Martin: “So excited to be joining the upcoming ShipRocked cruise stopping in the Bahamas, Jamaica and the Cayman Islands and can’t wait to jam with my Black Sheep in paradise! See you soon!”

The initial music lineup for ShipRocked is as follows: I Prevail, Killswitch Engage, Beartooth, Highly Suspect, Code Orange, Badflower, as well as Black Stone Cherry, BRKN Love, Cassyette, Catch Your Breath, Crobot, Dayseeker, Dead Poet Society, Dorothy, Eva Under Fire, From Ashes To New, Scene Queen, Tigercub, The Warning, Winona Fighter, Yonaka and more. The music lineup also features special performances by The Stowaways--ShipRocked’s fan favorite all-star band--and Johnny Stevens of Highly Suspect.

ShipRocked producer and creator Alan Koenig of ASK4 Entertainment said, “I say this literally every year, but SR24 might just be my favorite (initial) lineup yet!  We work hard to provide a big tent for the incredible range of talent that exists in the world of rock music, and I couldn’t be more proud and excited about the variety of artists who will be vacationing harder with our guests in February!”

A floating music festival, a rock & roll summer camp held in the dead of winter, a family reunion for the growing number of ShipRockers who have forged lifelong relationships out of a shared passion for music (and an occasional bucket of beer) – ShipRocked is the premier rock music vacation, offering dozens of performances and unique collaborations, artist-hosted events and activities, theme nights, and ample opportunity for fans and bands alike to unwind and create new friendships in tropical paradise.

The ShipRocked community is very supportive of charitable efforts, especially the annual ShipRocked Cancer Sucks! onboard charity auction. During the 2023 cruise, the auction raised an incredible $125,000 for cancer research.

Throughout the year, ShipRocked’s community of “ShipRockers”--as well as others from around the world--are staying connected via “Making Waves – The ShipRocked Podcast,” which launched in 2020 and is available for free through iTunes, Spotify and Google Podcasts. “Making Waves” features interviews with ShipRocked alumni artists, as well as other top music artists, actors and entertainment industry experts. It’s distributed via Sound Talent Media / Evergreen Podcasts and is hosted by Chad Nicefield and Justin Press.

The albums, recorded in Tulsa with trusted collaborator and producer Ted Hutt, exposed the band to new audiences through airplay on stations like SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country, coverage in outlets such as Rolling Stone Country, Paste, CNN, Americana Highways and SPIN, and via Dropkick Murphys’ first-ever acoustic, reserved-seating theater tour in 2022.

The Interrupters released their fourth studio album, In The Wild – which has been regarded as “the best songs the Interrupters have ever written…beyond even the incredible candor is an ambitious musicality” (Alternative Press) – in August 2022.

Sacramento was the place to be for music fans this October as two back-to-back weekends offered nonstop entertainment from a wide range of topline artists, including the heavy rock and metal event Aftershock (held October 5-8) and the country music-themed GoldenSky (held October 14-15), both at Discovery Park.

The two events brought in 220,000 people combined including a massive sold-out crowd of 160,000 music fans for Aftershock, which has retained its title as West Coast’s Biggest Rock Festival for another year. Notably, the 2023 edition brought in fans from all 50 states, 40 countries, and every continent besides Antarctica. The second year of GoldenSky Country Music Festival also broke records with 60,000 people over the course of two days. Both events, presented by Danny Wimmer Presents, directly impacted the local Sacramento community with approximately $40 million in economic impact, according to Visit Sacramento, who partnered with DWP to present GoldenSky.

Those in attendance were treated to a stacked lineup of performances from incredible artists in both genres. At Aftershock, headliners included Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Avenged Sevenfold and Korn (their last performance of 2023) as well as memorable sets from Godsmack, Incubus, Queens of the Stone Age, Limp Bizkit, Rancid, Turnstile, 311, Megadeth, The Cult, AFI, I Prevail, Sacramento’s own Dance Gavin Dance, and many more. Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin also returned as 2023’s host.

In total, more than 100 bands played on four stages over the course of the Aftershock weekend and fans were treated to some of the best food and drinks that the Sacramento area has to offer, as well as various sponsor activations and experiences.

Throughout the Aftershock weekend, DWP’s music news show “The Power Hour” — hosted by Matt Pinfield, Caity Babs, and Josh Bernstein — filmed interviews with various artists as well as skits that will appear on upcoming episodes of the show, which just was renewed for a second season on AXS TV.

At GoldenSky Country Music Festival, the stacked music lineup was led by Eric Church, Sacramento’s own Jon Pardi, Maren Morris, and Parker McCollum. There were also appearances from Jordan Davis, Country Music Hall of Fame member Wynonna Judd, Lainey Wilson, Jackson Dean, and the recently crowned “Rising Star” Winner, Sofia Claire.

The event also offered attendees the chance to partake in the GoldenSky Beer Festival, dance hall saloon, Sacramento farm-to-fork food offerings, local artisans, and more. Festival pre- and post-parties were held at Revival (in the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel) and Goldfield Trading Post, respectively.

As well, CMT Hot 20 was at GoldenSky all weekend long, filming exclusive behind-the-scenes content and interviews that will air this coming weekend, October 21 and 22.

Flogging Molly and Brew Ha Ha Productions have announced a new tradition for St. Patrick’s Day: Flogging Molly’s Shamrock Rebellion!

This two-part event includes shows at scenic Oak Canyon Park in Silverado, CA on Saturday, March 16 and Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, in the heart of Las Vegas, NV, on Sunday, March 17. Both dates will feature a headlining set from Flogging Molly, along with Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls, Face To Face, Buzzcocks, Amigo The Devil, NOBRO, Gen and the Degenerates and more to be announced!

Tickets for Flogging Molly’s Shamrock Rebellion go on sale Friday, November 10 at 10:00 AM PT at www.ShamrockRebellion.com.

Flogging Molly’s Shamrock Rebellion will also feature craft beer sampling from local and regional breweries and tastings of other craft beverages for those 21+ from Noon-3pm at each event. Participating breweries include: Brewery X, Rad Beer Co, Artifex, Radiant Brewing, Tarantula Hill, Stone Brewing and many more.

Flogging Molly’s Dave King said, “Hey everyone! We in Flogging Molly are proud and excited to announce the inaugural Shamrock Rebellion Festival! We have the amazing Frank Turner, the Buzzcocks, Amigo The Devil, and many, many more to come. So join us in celebrating all things punk and fun, with Flogging Molly’s Shamrock Rebellion ’24. Take care everyone, and see you soon. Sláinte 💚”

Event producer Cameron Collins of Brew Ha Ha Productions added, “Having the opportunity to join forces with Flogging Molly for Shamrock Rebellion is an absolute honor. I know this St. Patrick’s weekend celebration is going to be one for the books! I look forward to raising a pint and celebrating with Flogging Molly. Everyone’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, we’ll see you out there!”

General Admission and VIP tickets are available for each event. VIP tickets provide access to designated areas with shade, upgraded restrooms and a VIP Bar. Both General Admission and VIP tickets provide access to music performances and craft beer tasting from Noon-3pm (for 21+). Doors open at Noon each day for these all-ages events.

Flogging Molly is Dave King (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, bodhran), Bridget Regan (violin, tin whistle, vocals), Dennis Casey (guitar, vocals), Matt Hensley (accordion, concertina, vocals), Nathen Maxwell (bass guitar, vocals), Spencer Swain (mandolin, banjo, guitar, vocals), and Mike Alonso (drums, percussion).

Starting out as the house band for Molly Malone’s in Los Angeles and building a loyal following through endless touring, Flogging Molly has become a staple in the punk scene over the past 20-plus years, kicking off with their riotous debut album, Swagger, and continuing through their six additional studio albums.

Flogging Molly’s most recent album Anthem arrived in September 2022 via Rise Records and saw the band reunite with legendary engineer Steve Albini (who worked with Flogging Molly on their first two albums Swagger and Drunken Lullabies). Brooklyn Vegan said Anthem is “a ripper,” New Noise said Anthem “easily satisfies expectations the Celtic-inspired punks have built over a decades-long career,” and American Songwriter triumphantly declared, “Flogging Molly is back.”

The band released four videos in support of Anthem, including the timely track and clip for “A Song of Liberty,” penned by King as a recounting of a dark period in Irish history but made all the more relevant with events in Ukraine. The Mad Twins, Ukrainian animators/filmmakers, created the stirring video (https://youtu.be/ccGKjOQsEp0). On March 10, 2023 the band released a new, three-song, ‘Til The Anarchy’s Restored EP (Rise Records), featuring the previously unreleased title track and one-take performances of the band’s classic songs: “Drunken Lullabies” and “What’s Left of the Flag.”

Recent touring has brought Flogging Molly to historic locations including Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theater, and the band’s annual St. Patrick’s Day outing at the Hollywood Palladium (which routinely sells out). The band’s annual Salty Dog Cruise sets sail November 8, has already sold out, and will feature Pennywise, The Interrupters, Stiff Little Fingers and many more.

Flogging Molly’s Shamrock Rebellion is produced by Brew Ha Ha Productions (BHHP), the nation's most successful and respected craft beer and music festival producer. BHHP is known for their diverse, award-winning beer-centric events and music festivals across the United States, including Punk In The Park, Punk In Drublic Craft Beer & Music Festival; Silverado Showdown; Sabroso Taco, Craft Beer & Music Festival; Driftwood Country, Craft Beer & BBQ Festival; BHHP’s flagship The Brew Ha Ha; Brew Hee Haw at the OC Fair; Boo Ha Ha Haunted Oktoberfest and more. BHHP has produced more than 160 festivals across the United States in many genres including rock, punk rock, country, folk, reggae and more. A for-profit organization whose mission includes giving back, BHHP has helped many non-profits raise awareness and money to further worthy causes.

Oak Canyon Park is located at 5305 E. Santiago Canyon Road in Silverado, CA and is less than two hours from Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. It’s also just a short drive from John Wayne Airport in Irvine, CA. The park features 14 acres of grass adjacent to a small lake, with many mature oak trees providing ample shade.

Downtown Las Vegas Events Center is located at 200 S. 3rd Street, at the corner of Carson Ave. and across from the D Las Vegas in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, NV, steps from thousands of hotel rooms, top casinos, and award-winning dining options. The venue’s open-air design, state-of-the-art stage, sound and lighting offers the perfect spot for concerts, conventions and other large-scale events.

The festival producers encourage attendees to drink responsibly.

We can’t wait to see everyone this September to celebrate the pure magic of this festival and the great city of Louisville.”

“The Commonwealth of Kentucky is honored to be hosting Bourbon & Beyond in Louisville this September,” says Governor Andy Beshear, “The festival brings in fans from all over the world and showcases the best of Kentucky; highlighting our rich culture of bourbon, the best in local culinary and a top tier musical lineup. We can’t wait to welcome fans once again for this great tradition that we all in Kentucky are proud to call our own.”

"Bourbon & Beyond has attracted a global fanbase that continues to visit the Commonwealth, and we're excited to partner with Danny Wimmer Presents yet again to bring people together in the name of bourbon and music.”

“Louisville has become a top destination for music festivals,” says Cleo Battle, President and CEO of Louisville Tourism. “Events like Bourbon & Beyond continue to solidify that growing reputation attracting new visitors to Bourbon City and giving them not only a taste of a world-class event but also exposing them to the city’s Southern hospitality, iconic attractions and Bourbon’s home.”

In addition to four full days of music on five stages at Bourbon & Beyond, the festival experience will include daily workshops and demonstrations hosted by Chris Blandford, Amanda Freitag, Ed Lee, and Chris Santos—pairing world-renowned master distillers and celebrity chefs with guest artist appearances and a who’s who of Kentucky personalities—as well as a variety of additional onsite experiences.
