Here, we'll have all the up-to-date news on line-up announcements and all the latest ticket details for 2023.

The equine, music and bourbon festival has become a fan-favourite since its inception in 2019. The overall experience takes centre stage, with dramatic horse races, unique stalls and brilliant music all coming together to create an unforgettable occasion. The fact that it happens in the unofficial ‘Horse Capital of the World’, Kentucky, only adds to its appeal.

In 2023, the event will be leaving behind its previous venue of The Grounds at Keeneland. The 2021 festival featured some of the most illustrious artists from the alt-country and folk space, with the likes of Tyler Childers, Hozier, The Raconteurs, Brandi Carlile and more producing electric sets.

Soon after the star-studded line-up was released, Railbird confirmed that all tickets had sold out. Fans still hoping to attend can sign up for the Waitlist here.
