“Pilgrimage Music Festival, held just south of Nashville in Franklin, Tennessee, established itself as a festival to watch.” – Rolling Stone
“The festival favors rock, country, gospel, pop, Americana and the intersection of all of the above, and the rest of the roster reflects this. Hozier, Bleachers, Brandi Carlile, Counting Crows, Amos Lee, Valerie June, Lord Huron, Maggie Rogers, Dawes and more round out 2018’s tiers of talent, which also boasts a formidable selection of up-and-coming Nashville-based talent.” – Billboard “A 250-acre historic horse farm is the perfect spot for a music festival with Southern flair. Amid rolling hills, enjoy the music of artists such as Brandi Carlile, Lionel Richie and Counting Crows.” – USA Today “While the growing number of music festivals across the country continue to pump out similar-looking lineup posters, genre-focused events like Pilgrimage will most likely see plenty of both pop and country music-loving attendees walk through its gates come September.” –AXS
