Bourbon & Beyond 2026 — Three Days Out: Passes, Camping & Travel

Bourbon & Beyond 2026 three days out — passes, camping & travel — Ken McClary / MoshStar

Louder Than Life weekend is in the books — and the Louisville double flips next. Bourbon & Beyond opens Thursday through Sunday, September 24–27, 2026 at the Highland Festival Grounds (Kentucky Exposition Center), with Foo Fighters, Mumford & Sons, Chris Stapleton, and Dave Matthews Band closing the nights.

You are about three days from gates. Campgrounds open Wednesday, September 23 at noon (9am with Early Arrival) and run through Monday noon. If you still need a site — Car + Tent, RV, Premium RV with power, or Barrel Cove — grab it on the camping tab before you roll onto Phillips Lane. Festival pass and camping wristband are separate; no camping wristband, no campground.

Passes are still on the board. 4-Day, 2-Day, and single-day GA, Mint VIP, and Angel’s Envy Beyond VIP — plus student and GOVX lanes when listed. All-in levels climb by allotment (week-of-show GA bumps appear on the official cart as show week lands). Compare tiers on the passes hub, then confirm live pricing on Front Gate before you buy. Admission, camping, and parking sell separately. All-ages, rain-or-shine.

Travel now, not Thursday morning. Venue is 937 Phillips Lane — same Expo footprint as Louder Than Life, next to Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (I-65 / I-264). On-site general parking sells day-of via KEC gates; reserved off-site lots and the downtown Hotel Shuttle (Pegasus) are covered on the festival info hub. Expect metal detectors and a tight bag policy; pack light. General re-entry is not allowed unless you are camping or on a hotel+admission package with daily re-entry.

Lock your days on the passes hub, reserve camping if you are staying on-site, and dig gate / parking / FAQ details on the Bourbon & Beyond 2026 event page. Verify current prices and hours on the official Bourbon & Beyond site before you leave for Louisville.
