LOUISVILLE, Ky. —

While Louder Than Life just wrapped up on Sunday, organizers have already released dates for next year's festival along with Bourbon and Beyond, and there's been a slight change.

Both festivals will make their return to the Kentucky Expo Center in September 2026, but Louder Than Life will be happening first this time around.

Louder Than Life will run from Sept. 17-20, with Bourbon and Beyond running the following weekend, Sept. 24-27.

Organizers have not said why the festivals are swapping order for 2026.

Early bird passes for both will be dropping soon, and those interested can sign up for first access through the apps for each festival.
