Bourbon & Beyond festival is back with Pearl Jam, Brandi Carlile, more
We’ll drink to that.
After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down music festivals and artist tours across the globe, Bourbon & Beyond is set to return with a slew of A-list headliners, including Pearl Jam, Brandi Carlile, Greta Van Fleet, St. Vincent, Jack White, Alanis Morissette, Yola, Kings of Leon, Chris Stapleton and many more.
The four-day festival will run from Sept. 15 through 18 at the Highland Festival Grounds at Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville. Each of the four days will feature two headliners from rock, Americana, bluegrass, blues and alt-rock.
“We really captured lightning in a [bourbon] bottle with this lineup,” said LA-based producer Danny Wimmer in a statement. “Honestly, it’s one of the best-billed festivals in 2022.”
