Bourbon & Beyond 2021 Cancellation Official
If you’ve been asking, is Bourbon and Beyond 2021 canceled? The official announcement of the 2021 Bourbon and Beyond festival has just landed. The music festival celebrates Kentucky’s Native Spirit, alongside folk and rock music.
Danny Wimmer Presents, which is the production company behind Bourbon and Beyond, said the event would be canceled due to “uncertainty.” The company also halted the Hometown Rising festival.

Official Cancellation Announcement
“Bourbon & Beyond fans! We know you’ve all been anxiously awaiting an update from us, and we appreciate your patience in these trying times. We regret to inform you that we will be taking 2021 off. With all the uncertainty in 2021, as a company we made the tough decision to focus on our long tenured U.S. festivals, which includes Louder Than Life. As soon as we have more information we’ll share it with you. Thanks for your loyalty and patience, we long for the days when we can be reunited in our mutual love for music and bourbon.”

“Taking our festivals down last year was one of the most painful experiences our company has ever lived through,” said Danny Wimmer. The founder goes on to add, “and it wasn’t just painful for us, it was hard on the board, fans, partners, cities and vendors. It has become clear to us that we will not be able to have our festivals this spring, and for a variety of reasons, it is not possible to produce all of our annual festivals in the window of Fall 2021, so we made the difficult decision to only produce Aftershock, Welcome to Rockville and Louder Than Life this year. These are our longest running and most geographically diverse festivals. Focusing on these three events, along Inkcarceration Festival at the end of July gives as many fans as possible, from all over the country, the chance to rock again.”
Other Kentucky Festivals’ Status
It is yet to be determined which other Kentucky events and music festivals will become effected in 2021. However, the list of cancellations is starting to add up. Kentucky Three-Day, Hometown Rising, and now Bourbon & Beyond are officially canceled in 2021. With that being said though, Louder Than Life will make its return to Louisville.
