Pilgrimage Music and Cultural Festival will mark its 10th anniversary this year, Sept. 28-29, at the Park at Harlinsdale in Franklin, Tennessee.
Dave Matthews Band, along with Noah Kahn, will return to headline the multi-genre festival this year. Other artists on the bill include Hozier, Band of Heathens, Allison Russell, Need To Breathe, Charlie Worsham, and event co-founder Kevin Griffin’s rock band Better Than Ezra.
Griffin partnered with friends W. Brandt Wood and Michael Whelan to create a diverse event that was in the vein of the New Orleans Jazz Fest. Similarly to jazz fest, Pilgrimage Festival highlights an array of genres ranging from rock and roll and alt-country to bluegrass, jazz, indie, and gospel, including everyone from up-and-coming artists to stadium headliners.
Here’s a look back at the last decade of artists who headlined the festival at the 230-acre farm owned by the city of Franklin, just outside of Nashville.
