Louisville's summer music festival returns with its biggest lineup yet

LOUISVILLE — The city's beloved summer music festival is back with an expanded three-day program, drawing a mix of national headliners and local acts to the Ohio riverfront for what promises to be its most ambitious edition yet.

Festival organizers said ticket pre-sales broke records within hours of the lineup announcement, pointing to strong pent-up demand after a scaled-back run in previous years.

The event is expected to draw tens of thousands of visitors and pump millions into the local economy over the long weekend.
