Pilgrimage Announces Steven Tyler

Steven Tyler

As if the Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival couldn’t get any better, the inaugural festival has added the legendary, Steven Tyler with Nashville based band, Loving Mary to the lineup! Tyler joins the already impressive list of artists that include Willie Nelson, Wilco, Weezer, Sheryl Crow, Cage the Elephant, Band of Horses and more September 26 and 27, 2015 at The Park at Harlinsdale in Franklin.

“Nashville is a musical mecca and there is no way I would’ve missed performing at the Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival,” says Steven Tyler.

Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival is a two-day event transforming The Park At Harlinsdale Farm into an oasis of music, food, and culture set against the natural amphitheaters and vistas of this former walking horse farm located in Franklin, TN. Renowned musical acts, many performing acoustically, will be presented on wood-clad stages reflecting the area’s historic aesthetic. In addition to artists performing their own sets, Pilgrimage will feature Pilgri-mashups where one-of-a-kind pairings of musicians collaborate with one another on stage as well as the first-ever Kitchen Stage and Sippin’ Stage and Little Pilgrim’s Landing specifically for kids. The region’s best food and drink will be on display as well as numerous local artists and artisans creating an all-encompassing festival experience. Curation of the food and beverage program is on-going and will be announced this summer.
