Bristol Rhythm & Roots Festival Tickets

As the birthplace of country music and the organizer behind Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, Birthplace of Country Music brings three days of roots music to downtown Bristol, split across both Tennessee and Virginia sides of State Street. The festival honors the historic 1927 Bristol Sessions and the city’s rich musical legacy, delivering an immersive experience for fans who want to connect with artists, storytellers, and the music that shaped a genre. The 24th annual edition in 2025 featured 100+ acts across 12+ stages, with headliners like The Teskey Brothers, Lukas Nelson, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, The Band Perry, and Joy Oladokun. The festival was recognized as Outstanding Festival of the Year at the SWVA Tourism Awards in August 2025. Looking ahead, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion continues its tradition of inclusivity and high-energy performances, with the upcoming 2026 edition billed as “25 Acts for 25 Years” from September 11–13, 2026.
