Pilgrimage Music&Cultural Festival is officially coming back. After sitting out 2026, the festival returns April 10-11, 2027, at The Park at Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin, Tennessee. Organizers celebrated the news with a short and sweet message:“We are so back!”
The 2027 dates mark a big change for a festival that has called September home since its 2015 debut. It all started with Kevin Griffin of Better Than Ezra and cofounders Brandt Wood and Michael Whelan, who built Pilgrimage around a mix of country, folk, rock, blues and Americana. Over the years the lineup has included Chris Stapleton, Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile, The Lumineers, Foo Fighters and the 2025 bill with Kings of Leon, John Mayer and Turnpike Troubadours.
What’s still missing is a lineup, and that means the guessing game is wide open. Spring at Harlinsdale Farm should bring cooler weather and a fresh feel to a festival that’s already eleven years deep. Year twelve is going to look a little different, and we’re here for it.
