Top billing the first day of the event are indie/folk-pop singer-songwriter, Noah Kahan and the gritty country music band out of eastern Oklahoma, the Turnpike Troubadours. And they’ll be joined by Counting Crows, Wynonna Judd, and Marcus King, along with more blockbuster performers. And for the second day, the multi-awarded country singer Chris Stapleton, and Irish singer-songwriter, Hozier are gracing the stage, with Lord Huron, Dwight Yoakam, and Elle King. 

Last year, they featured more than 30 acts on three stages, with Zach Bryan and Tyler Childers as headliners.

Outside food and beverages are not allowed, but you don’t need to worry. Everyone can access a wide variety of food, from vegan to vegetarian to gluten-free. And the experience won’t be complete without a sip of bourbon. The collection is highly curated, hand-selected from Kentucky’s finest distilleries chosen in collaboration with co-owners Justin Sloan and Justin Thompson of Lexington’s treasured Justins’ House of Bourbon.
