When we first told you about this year’s Rhythm N’ Blooms Festival, set to take place April 10-12 in Knoxville, we were excited by what seemed like a modest, budget-friendly fest featuring a couple of big names and a handful of local favorites. Following a few lineup expansions last month, it became clear that this year’s event means business. Now, just a month from the fest, Rhythm N’ Blooms has finalized its lineup, adding dozens more acts and transforming into a no-brainer for a weekend road trip, to kick off festival season. As expected, there are TONS of Nashville bands (and just as many Knoxville bands) on the bill, and weekend passes are still available for just $60.
Check out the full list of performers below. New additions are in bold, and Nashville artists in in red.
