Bourbon & Beyond has been rewarded with Pollstar’s 2025 Music Festival of the Year award (Global category, over 30,000 participants), establishing its place among the world’s finest live music events. Presented by Danny Wimmer Presents (DWP), the festival continues to enrich the live entertainment environment and set new standards for excellence and creativity.
Now in its 36th year, the Pollstar Awards commemorate the greatest artists, tours, venues, and festivals across the global live entertainment business.
“Danny and his team put on a world-class festival. From an artist’s perspective, I can feel the love and intention they put into every step of the process. It is zero surprise to me that they won Festival of The Year,” said Patrick Hallahan with My Morning Jacket, who performed at the festival last year.
“This award belongs to every single person who has supported Bourbon & Beyond along the way, and we are honored to be in a category with icons like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Stagecoach, Austin City Limits and BottleRock. Our fans are the heart and soul of this festival, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you all this September,” said Danny Wimmer, Founder of Danny Wimmer Presents.
