Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson to Headline Lexington’s Railbird Festival 2025

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Country music stars Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson will headline the 2025 Railbird Festival, set to take place May 31 and June 1 at Lexington‘s Red Mile. The two-day outdoor music event will feature a lineup of top country and Americana artists, including Shaboozey, Bailey Zimmerman, Riley Green, Sierra Ferrell, and Luke Grimes.

This year’s festival marks a shift toward mainstream country music, with both headliners dominating recent award shows and radio charts. Jelly Roll, who won three CMT Awards in 2024, will perform on Sunday, while Lainey Wilson, a seven-time CMT Award winner, will take the stage on Saturday.

Other notable acts include Cody Jinks, Ryan Bingham and the Texas Gentleman, Treaty Oak Revival, and Black Smoke. The festival will return to the infield of the Red Mile, a historic horse racing venue, for its fifth edition.

Presale for tickets begins Friday, with two-day general admission passes starting at $235. Fans can sign up for a presale passcode to access discounted tickets before prices increase. The festival’s full lineup and ticketing details are available on its official website.

Railbird Festival has become a staple of Lexington’s summer events, drawing thousands of music fans to the region. Last year’s event featured a mix of country, rock, and Americana acts, and organizers expect this year’s lineup to attract an even larger crowd.
