The Bourbon & Beyond festival is returning to Louisville in 2025 with a stellar lineup that promises an unforgettable celebration of music, bourbon, and culture. Scheduled from September 11 to 14, this year's festival will feature headliners Phish, Noah Kahan, and Jack White, alongside a diverse array of musical acts that span rock, Americana, and alternative genres.

The anticipated festival will again take place at the Highland Festival Grounds within the Kentucky Exposition Center. Known for blending the finest elements of music and bourbon culture, Bourbon & Beyond continues to grow in stature, attracting larger audiences each year.

In addition to these headlining acts, the lineup includes The Lumineers, Foreigner, Sturgill Simpson, Alabama Shakes, and Rilo Kiley, amongst others. Returning after a long hiatus, Rilo Kiley's reunion is amongst several anticipated performances from bands making their Bourbon & Beyond debuts. Moreover, recognized for blending blues, Americana, and rock into soulful numbers, Alabama Shakes will be a highlight for festivalgoers looking to experience their dynamic instrumentation and powerful vocals. Jack White, known for his work with The White Stripes as well as his solo career, brings his multifaceted musical expertise to the festival, blending rock with blues and folk influences.

The festival will not only focus on music but also emphasize Kentucky's rich bourbon heritage, featuring The Bourbon Experience and The Culinary Atelier. Attendees can expect daily workshops and demonstrations showcasing America’s finest culinary talent and bourbon distillation craftsmanship. Renowned chefs like Chris Santos and Ed Lee will offer culinary workshops paired with bourbon tastings, creating immersive, tastings-led experiences to accompany the music-filled days.
