Bourbon & Beyond releases set times for 100+ artists in next month's festival in Louisville

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The set list for the Bourbon & Beyond music festival was released Thursday, with more than 110 artists scheduled to play over four days in Louisville.

The lineup this year includes Phish, Noah Kahan, Sturgill Simpson, the Lumineers, Goo Goo Dolls and Jack White. It'll be held at the Highland Festival Grounds at the Kentucky Exposition Center Sept. 11-14, with Louder Than Life to follow Sept. 18-21.

Bourbon & Beyond set a new record last year when 210,000 attended the festival.

Danny Wimmer Presents, the promoter of both festivals, released a new map and video renderings of the sites earlier this month. In short, the festival site will move from just west of Interstate 65 to the open parking lots just south and west of Freedom Hall.

The festival site's move surely comes in part because one day of Louder Than Life was canceled in 2024 as the remnants of Hurricane Helen moved through Louisville. This new area for music fans has little grass and will drain better than the previous area. However, Danny Wimmer Presents said several turf zones will be laid down around the main stages and general admission areas so the entire space isn't just concrete.

"We never want to disappoint the fans, and moving across the street allows us to be able to have our festival no matter what the weather," said Doris Sims, the vice president of business development for Danny Wimmer Presents.

Earlier this year, Danny Wimmer Presents, reached a 10-year deal with Kentucky Venues to continue the two festivals.

"Louisville, KY has become an integral part of who we are, and we are excited to strengthen our connection by partnering with the city of Louisville and Commonwealth of Kentucky for the next 10 years," Wimmer said in a news release. "Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life have truly found their home here, representing the incredible collaboration and spirit we’ve fostered over the past decade. This partnership is about more than just festivals; it’s about investing in a community that has welcomed us with open arms."
