Big names like Slipknot, Kiss and the Red Hot Chili Peppers will all play this weekend.
Fans are excited that the festival is back in action.
"I love crowds, I love concerts," Thomas Irwin said. "I go to shows all over the country, festivals all over the country. Look at all these beautiful people, local food, bourbon, you couldn't ask for anything better."
Organizers are expecting a massive crowd this year.
More than 140,000 people attended last weekend's Bourbon and Beyond festival.
