The world's largest bourbon and music festival returns to Louisville with a blockbusting line-up featuring several rock icons, and Kentucky's finest mash and celebrity chefs.

Festival producer Danny Wimmer Presents has pulled out all the stops for Bourbon & Beyond to curate a truly one-of-a-kind weekend. Music headliners for the 2023 Bourbon & Beyond Festival include Bruno Mars, The Killers, Brandi Carlile, The Black Keys, plus Duran Duran, Billy Strings, The Black Crowes, The Avett Brothers and more.

The 2023 Bourbon & Beyond Festival returns Sept. 14-17 at the Highland Festival Grounds, 937 Phillips Lane, at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville.

"Bourbon & Beyond is our love letter to the city of Louisville and the great state of Kentucky," Danny Wimmer, founder of Danny Wimmer Presents said in the news release. "We can’t wait to showcase why Louisville has become our home away from home, so having the opportunity to curate an unbelievable festival experience rooted in amazing musical performances combined with our passion for bourbon and culinary arts is our dream come true.”

"We were totally blown away by Brandi Carlile's performance at Bourbon & Beyond last year. She is the voice of a generation and her set had such an impact on the crowd, we immediately knew we had to bring her back as a headliner," Wimmer said. "Having her return as a headliner, along with Bruno Mars, The Killers, The Black Keys as well as 2022 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductees Duran Duran, wow … we can’t wait to share the great community and spirit of bourbon country with the world."
