Lainey Wilson & Jelly Roll Set To Headline Railbird Music Festival

Railbird Music Festival returns May 31 and June 1 at The Infield at Red Mile in Lexington, Kentucky, and this year’s headliners include Lainey Wilson on Saturday and Jelly Roll on Sunday. The festival is owned by C3 Presents.

Bailey Zimmerman, Shaboozey, Riley Green, The Red Clay Strays, Cody Jinks, Sierra Ferrell, Wyatt Flores, Ryan Bingham & The Texas Gentlemen, Treaty Oak Revival and more are also included on this year’s lineup, with more than 30 artists scheduled across the festival’s three stages.

Jelly Roll is booked by CAA’s Hunter Williams and managed by WITH Management’s John Meneilly. Among his 88 headline dates reported to Pollstar Boxoffice, highlights include a Nov. 6 show at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena that sold 15,402 tickets and grossed $1,721,558.

Wilson is booked by WME’s Austin Mullins and managed by Red Light Management. Her most recent report submitted to Pollstar Boxoffice was a Nov. 8 show at CHI Health Center Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska, that sold 13,466 tickets and grossed $788,769.

Over the years, the festival has slowly included more and more country, with this year’s lineup almost entirely devoted to the genre. This marks a turn for the festival, which included Weezer in 2023. Last year’s lineup was topped by Noah Kahan, Turnpike Troubadours, Chris Stapleton and Hozier. Railbird launched in 2019 with performances by Brandi Carlile, The Raconteurs, Old Crow Medicine Show, Hozier, Tyler Childers, Gary Clark Jr. and Mavis Staples, among others. The festival was called off in 2020 because of the pandemic and took a hiatus in 2022.
