LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Presales are starting for tickets to next year's Louder Than Life and Bourbon & Beyond festivals in Louisville.

The presale for Bourbon & Beyond tickets started Friday morning for those who purchased Beyond VIP passes in 2024, and Friday afternoon for those who attended the festival in 2024.

Danny Wimmer Presents, the production company behind the festivals, has already announced one of the headliners for the 2025 installment of Louder Than Life. Slayer is set to return, after weather from Hurricane Helene canceled their set, and an entire night of the festival, this year.

The festivals bring thousands of people to Louisville each year for two consecutive weekends of music and more.

Aside from Slayer headlining Louder Than Life, no other performers have been announced for either festival. Dates for lineup releases have also not yet been announced.

The festivals are each held at the Highland Festival Grounds at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville.
