Southern rock powerhouse Blackberry Smoke will headline the inaugural Stomp and Holler festival this fall, leading a lineup that also includes Ian Munsick, The War and Treaty, and Priscilla Block at the new two-day event coming to the Beaver Dam Amphitheater on Oct. 2-3.
Organizers unveiled the lineup Monday for Stomp and Holler, calling the event a new boutique music festival that will combine live music, camping, food and beverage experiences, bourbon tasting, and other activities while raising money for the Cliff Hagan Boys and Girls Club and the Beaver Dam Foundation.
The lineup for Friday, Oct. 2, includes Blackberry Smoke, The War and Treaty, Them Dirty Roses, Tyler Booth, Late Night Thoughts, Abbie Callahan, CeCe, Boot Juice, Red Voodoo, Magnolia Boulevard, and Mary Kutter.
Saturday’s performers include Ian Munsick, Priscilla Block, The Wilder Blue, Nicholas Jamerson, The Band Feel, Rob Langdon, Dalton Davis, Madison Hughes, Hunter Flynn, Zoe Speaks, and Kat Luna.
Organizers said additional artists and campground after-party performances will be announced later.
“We didn’t want to build just another festival,” event organizer Heath Eric said in a release. “We wanted to create an experience. We wanted something that felt authentic. Something that felt personal.”
Eric said affordability is a major focus for the festival, noting that early bird weekend passes will be available for $99.50 during a presale beginning June 3. Organizers also plan to offer free parking and what they described as reasonable food and beverage pricing.
Ryan Bibb, chief operating officer of the Cliff Hagan Boys and Girls Club, said proceeds from the festival will help support youth programs throughout the region.
“The need for youth services continues to grow throughout Western Kentucky,” Bibb said. “Every day we see children and families who benefit from mentorship, educational support, safe environments, and positive opportunities.”
Beaver Dam Mayor Paul Sandefur said the festival is expected to generate tourism and economic activity for the community.
“This event will fill hotel rooms, support restaurants, generate tourism spending, and showcase Beaver Dam to visitors from across the country,” Sandefur said in the release.
Early bird ticket sales begin at 9 a.m. June 3 and continue through June 14. Organizers said a limited number of primitive and RV camping spots will also be available. During the initial sales period, only weekend passes will be offered.
Additional information and presale registration are available through the festival’s website.
