Kentucky's Grammy Award winner Tyler Childers and Grammy Award-nominated My Morning Jacket will make the trip to Manchester, Tennessee to perform alongside acclaimed rapper Kendrick Lamar, electronic duo Odesza and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Foo Fighters, all of whom have been announced in the line up for the 2023 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, set for June 15-18.

They're part of an eclectic four-day festival that also includes Lil Nas X, The Revivalists, Sheryl Crow, Paramore, Marcus Mumford, Baby Keem, Korn, Vulfpeck and GRiZ among 150-plus performers. Knocked Loose, a Kentucky band from Oldham County, will also perform at this year's festival.

The robust lineup comes as welcome news to local music fans who were stunned by Live Nation's November announcement that Louisville's long-running Forecastle Festival would not be returning to Waterfront Park in 2023.

Live Nation Entertainment, one of the world's biggest entertainment companies, produces Bonnaroo and since 2016 had produced Forecastle Music Festival. Live Nation's profile in Louisville includes The Louisville Palace and Mercury Ballroom and is involved as an owner or chief promoter at more than 100 venues across the country.

This year's lineup in Manchester (a three-and-a-half hour drive from Louisville) not only includes a double dose of Grammy-recognized Kentucky artists but Tyler Childers and My Morning Jacket are set to perform back-to-back on June 17. Louisville fans can catch them leading into Saturday's headliners — Lil Nas X and Odesza.

Tickets for Bonnaroo 2023 will be released via an "early access" sale starting at 10 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 12. Fans will need to sign up at bonnaroo.com to receive an access code the morning of the sale. Bonnaroo says a public on-sale will follow "for any remaining tickets and accommodations." Four-day passes start at $299.

For the first time, Bonnaroo will also offer single-day tickets to the festival. Single-day tickets start at $175.

Tyler Childers performed on the Mast Stage on the third and final day of Forecastle on July 14, 2019.

In years past, a single-day option was offered only with the purchase of a shuttle ride from Nashville. This year, guests can choose between two self-parking options: one on-site and one a short shuttle ride away from the Coffee County Fairgrounds.
