Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion has unveiled their genre-mixing lineup including performances from The Tesky Brothers, Shane Smith & The Saints, Lukas Nelson, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, The Band Perry, Steep Canyon Rangers, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong and Mountain Grass Unit, among others.

The three-day, immersive event, held on State Street in downtown Bristol, Tennessee and Virginia, is a tribute to the legacy of the 1927 Bristol Sessions recordings and the influence of that pivotal moment in music history. New for the 2025 event, Bristol Rhythm will add late night sets at Machiavelli’s outdoor tent, dances at the Country Music Mural Stage and the festival’s first Artist in Residence, Dave Eggar.

Kaitlin Butts, Ashley Monroe, Fruition, Sister Sadie, Michael Cleveland, The Wilder Blue, Nolan Taylor, Shadowgrass, Ken Pomeroy, Theo Lawrence, The Wildmans, Jarekus Singleton, Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley, Larry Keel’s Electric Larry Land, Denitia and Chicken Wire Empire will also join the 100 acts set to perform on a dozen stages in the “birthplace of country music.”

Weekend passes to the festival, taking place Sept. 19-21, are on sale now at BristolRhythm.com.
