"Louder Than Life always delivers a huge weekend and is one of the top economic events annually for Louisville, further cementing the city as a top destination for music festivals," Cleo Battle, president and CEO of Louisville Tourism, said in a news release. "Bourbon City loves welcoming fans for America’s Biggest Rock Festival, inviting them to experience the city’s Southern hospitality, area attractions and of course urban bourbon experiences. We’ve seen this weekend continue to grow throughout the longtime partnership with festival organizers Danny Wimmer Presents and look forward to celebrating our ninth year hosting Louder Than Life this September."
Festival organizers said passes "will go fast" and are urging fans to create their "Front Gate" account in advance and login 15 minutes early on lineup release day to secure a spot to purchase tickets.
Danny Wimmer Presents said more than 170,000 attended Louder Than Life last year. Combined with Bourbon & Beyond the weekend before, the festivals created a roughly $33 million local economic impact in 2022.
"Our fans, they show up and these artists want to come back and they want to play these festivals year over year because they have such an amazing experience and they are welcomed with open arms," said Chamie McCurry, Danny Wimmer Presents Chief Marketing Officer. "It is something that we really pride ourselves on is giving back and making sure that the presence is felt at these festivals not only while we're in town producing them but year-round, really.
Festival organizers called it a stacked line up this year.
"We have four days, five stages, over 12 -hours a day of non-stop music and last year it cemented itself as America's Biggest Rock Festival and we are looking forward to breaking even more records this year with Louder than Life," McCurry said.
Randell Bolton, a sales associate at Better Days Records, said the lineup is diverse for a wide range of fans.
"Turnstile they have only got one album under their belt, fantastic, I think they will draw a really good crowd but then you got megadeath who has been around since the late 80's or mid 80's so yeah I think you are going to get a good draw from all the way around," Bolton said.
