In addition, Bourbon & Beyond was named 2024 Festival of the Year by leading live entertainment organization IEBA after welcoming a record-setting 210,000 fans over 4 days marking the largest music festival in Kentucky history. It has also been nominated as Pollstar “Festival of the Year” for the past two years.
Bourbon & Beyond is the best lineup of the year—bringing together the biggest names in rock, Americana, and alt, alongside country icons and breakout artists. It’s a festival that doesn’t just celebrate one sound, but the best of all of them, paired with world-class bourbon, incredible food, and that unmistakable Kentucky vibe. From the start, our vision was to create an experience that blends music, culinary, culture, and community in a way that only Bourbon & Beyond can. The crowds are huge, the energy is unmatched, and every year, we take it up a notch. If you love music, a breathtaking atmosphere, and the best bourbon on the planet: this is the festival to experience – Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents
