Bolo Mules to perform ’90s country tribute show at The Burl in Lexington for outdoor anniversary concert

A Lexington outdoor anniversary concert will feature the Bolo Mules, a country act billed as a ’90s tribute show that the group describes as more than a standard imitation set. Organizers say the performance will take place at The Burl on Saturday, July 18, bringing a “Born in Kentucky, but now running wild” theme to the venue’s anniversary celebration.

The Bolo Mules said their show is designed to feel closer to musical theater than a traditional tribute performance. In the group’s description, the set leans into story and staging, while still centering on country songs associated with the 1990s era.

According to the announcement, the band’s approach to the performance is “live, loud, and rowdy,” with an emphasis on a full-volume atmosphere meant for an outdoor crowd. The event’s outdoor setting is expected to shape the show’s delivery, with the group leaning into the energy of a live band performance in an open-air venue context.

The show at The Burl is scheduled for the July 18 date announced by WKYT. The listing also frames the performance as part of the venue’s broader outdoor anniversary programming, positioning the Bolo Mules as a featured act for the celebration.

The announcement did not include details on the event’s ticketing process, start times, or whether other acts are scheduled for the anniversary day. It also did not specify any set list, participating artists beyond the group’s name, or additional production elements beyond the band’s description of the show’s theatrical style.

With the concert date set for next Saturday, fans in the Lexington area are likely to look for venue updates closer to the event for scheduling and logistics. For attendees, the practical focus will be arrival timing, outdoor weather considerations, and following any venue instructions for entry and conduct, especially for a performance described as “live, loud, and rowdy.”
