Bourbon & Beyond is one sleep away. Gates at the Highland Festival Grounds (Kentucky Exposition Center, 937 Phillips Lane, Louisville) are scheduled to open at 11am daily Thursday through Sunday, September 24–27, 2026 — subject to change — with nights headlined by Foo Fighters, Mumford & Sons, Chris Stapleton, and Dave Matthews Band. Outdoor, all-ages, rain or shine.
Campgrounds are live today. Five-night camping started Wednesday, September 23 at noon (9am Early Arrival). If you are rolling in this afternoon, your festival pass and camping wristband are separate — no camping wristband, no campground. Details and site types sit on the camping tab.
Day plan, not a competing schedule grid. Lineup and set times remain subject to change; the official schedule page pushes the festival app rather than a static dump. Use our lineup hub for who is on the bill (including special-effects sets such as Mumford & Sons, Kacey Musgraves, and Foo Fighters), then confirm live times in the official app before you plant a chair. We will not mirror a full set-time grid here.
Bag and security before you leave the lot. Expect metal detectors and a tight bag policy: one factory-sealed water (20oz max) or an empty plastic refillable (no hydroflasks/Yetis). Chairs need a Lawn Chair Pass. General re-entry is not allowed unless you hold a camping wristband, Hotel+Admission (JamPack), or a Costco 2-Day/4-Day value pass with daily re-entry. Gate, parking, and FAQ notes live on the festival info hub.
Start on the Bourbon & Beyond 2026 event page, check info and lineup, and verify gates/hours on the official Bourbon & Beyond festival-info page before you walk up Phillips Lane tomorrow.
