Dave Matthews Band at Pilgrimage 2021

Barring interruptions from COVID in 2020 and a tremendous downpour that cut proceedings short in 2018, the Pilgrimage Music and Cultural Festival has been marking the change from summer to autumn at Franklin’s Park at Harlinsdale Farm since 2015. The fest returns to celebrate its 10th anniversary on Sept. 28 and 29 — thankfully, this year it’s scheduled for the weekend after AmericanaFest wraps up — and is bringing some heavy hitters along for the ride.

At the top of the bill for Saturday is Dave Matthews Band, returning after co-headlining Pilgrimage’s post-lockdown return in 2021. The day features heaps more highlights that include Hozier, Trombone Shorty, Lukas Nelson, Grammy-winning Nashville hometown hero Allison Russell, Willi Carlisle and Celisse. Your Sunday headliner is folkstar Noah Kahan, with a packed undercard including Needtobreathe, COIN, Sierra Hull, Better Than Ezra, rising guitar wizard Grace Bowers and established guitar ace and country songsmith Charlie Worsham.

Ticket prices haven’t been announced yet, but they’ll go on sale Thursday, March 21, at 10 a.m. via the Pilgrimage website.
