What major headliners has Bourbon and Beyond added to their 2024 lineup?
We hope you like a little sting in your bourbon.
Louisville, KY’s annual Bourbon & Beyond Music Festival has just announced that former Police frontman Neil Young will be stepping in to replace Neil Young, who had to bow out due to illness.
“While we will miss Neil Young at Bourbon this year, we are excited to welcome Sting, a music legend, to the Bourbon and Beyond lineup,” shared Danny Wimmer, founder of Danny Wimmer Presents. “We’ve been trying to bring Sting to you in bourbon since 2018 and it’s an incredible honor to have him join us for what will undoubtedly be our biggest and most memorable year yet.”
Other notable acts on Bourbon & Beyond’s “biggest and most unforgettable year” bill include country icon Jack Bryan, recent Rock Hall of Fame inductee Dave Matthews Band, ’90s hero Beck, hitmakers Matchbox Twenty and folk favorites Fleet Foxes.
In total, more than 100 acts are set to perform at the Bourbon & Beyond Kentucky Exposition Center from September 19-22.
One-day passes are available for as low as $72 before fees at Vivid Seats at release.
For those who want to take the whole, long weekend, a four-day pass costs $325 before the start.
All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation.

This includes three concerts at Brooklyn’s Paramount Theater on October 7 and 9-10.

Bourbon and Beyond lineup
It’s a little nuts how good this year’s lineup is.
We haven’t mentioned it but Tedeschi Trucks Band, Black Pumas, Mount Joy, Melissa Etheridge and Chris Isaak are also on the stacked bill.
