“I’ve been a fan of Jeff Tweedy’s writing since the Uncle Tupelo days,” says Kevin Griffin, co-founder of Pilgrimage and lead singer of Better Than Ezra tells Billboard. “To have Wilco on the bill is a dream come true. Wilco’s music is a seamless fit with what Pilgrimage is all about.”

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.

2-Day Early Bird passes and VIP packages are available at a limited price of $169 (2-Day pass) and $399 (2-Day VIP package) and Single Day Passes will be available when full schedule is announced. Additional artists will be announced over the coming months including headliners. Passes and VIP packages can be purchased via the Pilgrimage website.

Not only will the festival drive tourism dollars to Williamson County but a portion of each ticket sale will benefit the City of Franklin. In addition a portion of ticket sales will also benefit MusiCares®, a nonprofit organization that was established by The Recording Academy® to provide a wide range of emergency financial assistance and addiction recovery resources to members of the music community.
