What to Expect at This Year’s Pilgrimage Music Festival

Get ready for a weekend of unforgettable music as the Pilgrimage Music Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary in Franklin, TN, on September 28-29. With top country acts and an authentic southern atmosphere, you won't want to miss out on this year's festivities!

We're excited to see some of our favorite country acts hit the Pilgrimage stage this year. Catch Lukas Nelson bringing his mix of rock and country, fresh off the trails blazed by his dad, Willie. You also don't want to miss The Cadillac Three with some southern rock, and Charlie Worsham with his killer banjo skills.

Beyond the big names, Pilgrimage is the perfect spot to discover your next favorite artist. Expect performances from not only the main stages, but also the more intimate setups around the park. These smaller venues are where you can get up close and personal with the music and maybe even hear the stories behind the songs.

Pilgrimage artists from the past have consistently showcased the festival's eclectic blend of Americana and country music, genres that feel like musical cousins. The mix of southern rock, folk, and bluegrass that permeates the festival adds to the celebration of this shared heritage. Past performers like Chris Stapleton, Willie Nelson, and Keith Urban, alongside Americana staples like Jason Isbell and Brandi Carlile, have helped to shape the unique atmosphere Pilgrimage is known for.

Pilgrimage is just as much about the music as it is a cultural gathering that celebrates the Southern lifestyle. From country-inspired food stalls offering traditional Southern fare to workshops and panels discussing the evolution of country music, the festival immerses attendees in the country lifestyle from every angle.

Pilgrimage is a testament to the enduring charm and innovation of country music. The festival promises a journey through the heart of country music culture. Prepare for a weekend filled with good food, great music, and even better company!
