Lexington Pizza Week

Y'ALL. The lineup just dropped and we cannot keep quiet about this one.

HOUNDSTOCK is coming to Gatton Park on May 15–16 — and Lexington, you are going to love this.

Fifteen incredible Kentucky artists. Two days of live music. The best BBQ in the Bluegrass. Bourbon. And yes, you can bring your dog.

The lineup:

Bee Taylor & The Lexington Philharmonic String Quartet // Tee Dee Young // Bedford // Stoll Vaughan // Eric Bolander // Treyvon King Band // Sydney Adams // Low Gap // Dead Air Dennis & Bryan Himes // Mash Grass // Corduroy Brown // Lance Rodgers // Samuel James // Cait Justice // Emma Hansman

From blues legends to the next wave of Americana songwriters, this is the sound of Kentucky — right here in our backyard.

We need your help making this thing huge. Share this post, tag your people, and let's show up big for these artists and for Lexington. First-year festivals don't happen without a community behind them, and that's what we do best around here.
