American jam band Phish will headline Bourbon & Beyond this year, promising fans that their appearance at the Sept. 11-14 festival held annually in Louisville, Ky., and organized by award-winning festival producers Danny Wimmer Presents will be the band’s only festival stop for 2025.
Joining Phish at the four-day festival held annually at the Highland Festival Grounds at Kentucky Exposition Center are the Alabama Shakes, who are reuniting in 2025 for a Thursday performance at the festival that will also include Thursday headliners The Lumineers and Benson Boone. Friday night headliners include Phish, Khruangbin and Joe Bonamassa, while Sturgill Simpson, performing as Johnny Blue Skies, takes the stage with Jack White and Vance Joy on Saturday. Noah Kahan, Goo Goo Dolls and Megan Moroney close out the festival on Sunday.
Now in its seventh year, Bourbon & Beyond will feature more than 120 artists total performing on five stages, including Cage the Elephant, TV On the Radio, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Lake Street Dive, Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, Foreigner, Third Eye Blind, Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, and many more.
In addition, Bourbon & Beyond includes daily workshops and demonstrations showcasing America’s best chefs and Louisville’s vibrant bourbon and culinary culture on the festival’s workshop stage for The Bourbon Experience and The Culinary Atelier. Hosted by bourbon expert Chris Blandford, chef Amanda Freitag, chef Ed Lee and chef Chris Santos, the festival’s bourbon tastings and culinary workshops pair world-renowned master distillers and some of the country’s top chefs, with some workshops featuring celebrity guest appearances.
“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,” said Wimmer in a statement. “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. The crowds are huge, the energy is unmatched and every year, we take it up a notch.”
