Bourbon & Beyond releases daily set times and stage lineup for 2026 festival in Louisville
The four-day music festival announced schedule details for more than 100 artists performing across five stages.
Bourbon & Beyond, the Louisville-based four-day music festival, has announced daily set times and stage information for its 2026 lineup, according to a report from WLKY.
The festival is scheduled to feature more than 100 artists performing across five stages, and the newly released schedule breaks the programming into daily time blocks so attendees can plan which performances to see.
Organizers said the announcement includes the set times for performers across the festival’s stages, giving concertgoers a day-by-day view of how acts will be staggered throughout each day of the event.
The set-time release is expected to affect how people build their festival itineraries, particularly for guests trying to balance overlapping performances across multiple stages.
For Louisville-area residents and public-safety officials, a finalized day-by-day schedule can also help with preparation for the increased foot traffic and congestion that typically accompany large multi-day events, including planning for staffing and traffic management around peak arrival and departure periods.
Bourbon & Beyond’s multi-stage format means the same time window can include shows on more than one stage, and the schedule is designed to clarify those overlaps for attendees arriving at different points during the day.
The festival’s announcement does not change the overall structure of the event as described for 2026, but it provides more concrete timing information for daily viewing plans.
Bourbon & Beyond will continue to operate under the four-day framework and five-stage layout while attendees use the posted set times to coordinate viewing choices as the event approaches.
