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.
Tickets start at $289 and are available here.
