The festival, now in its seventh year, will once again take place at The Park at Harlinsdale Farm. Co-founded by Better Than Ezra’s Kevin Griffin, the event will continue celebrating the region’s many services and goods with 70 booths stocked with food, handcrafted works, and more. The festival will also house 35 local restaurants and cafes.

“Tennessee thrives on live music and we’ve been in a musical drought for the past year,” Griffin shares in a statement to Billboard. “Pilgrimage is a one-of-a-kind festival experience, showcasing the best music, food, libations, and crafts the region has to offer. We can’t wait to deliver one of the most exciting and diverse lineups of our seven-year history this September. Let’s bring the music back to Franklin.”

On five stages, across 200 acres of land, the musical talent will also include: Khruangbin, Black Pumas, Amos Lee, Tanya Tucker, Better Than Ezra, Houndmouth, Tank and the Bangas, Valerie June, JD McPherson, Jamestown Revival, Low Cut Connie, Robert Finley, Katie Pruitt, Morgan Wade, Larry Fleet, Harlem Gospel Travelers, Hailey Whitters, Dylan LeBlanc, Anna Vaus, Blessing Offor, and Natalie Madigan. Additional performers to be revealed.
