Bluegrass Hall of Fame and Museum Unveils 2025 ROMP Festival, with Wynonna Judd, Del McCoury, Sam Bush, Molly Tuttle, Daniel Donato and More
The Bluegrass Hall of Fame and Museum has officially unveiled the full artist lineup for its 2025 ROMP Festival, returning to Owensboro, Ky. from June 25-28. Set back in the museum’s backyard at Yellow Creek Park, a sprawling nature preserve along the mighty Ohio River, ROMP will once again reinvigorate the bluegrass community with an all-star lineup of storied figureheads and innovative newcomers to the American tradition. The beloved festival’s 2025 lineup will be led by Wynonna Judd, as well as Hall of Fame members Sam Bush, The Dillards and the Del McCoury Band.
For its 22nd year of celebration, the Bluegrass Hall of Fame has cultivated a lineup that united performers from across generations, setting iconic forebearers alongside the rising stars raised on their influence. Beyond the storied headliners, ROMP Festival will welcome Americana favorites Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, Mountain Grass Unit, Willie Watson (formerly of Old Crow Medicine Show), The Steeldrivers, Town Mountain and Mountain Grass Unit. Other standouts down the 22-act bill include AJ Lee and Blue Summit, Big Richard, Fireside Collective, Dirty Grass Players, Ben Sollee, the Vickie Vaughn Band, the Kentucky Bluegrass Allstars and more.
Onstage and off, ROMP Festival is an intimate, immersive and family-friendly experience, packed with a host of additional activities like clogging and flat-foot dancing workshops, art installations and engagement with the preserve, which holds stunning hiking trails and a fishing lake. Between sets, artists will mill about the grounds and lead instrumental performance workshops open to all; musically inclined attendees of all experience levels are encouraged to bring their instruments to participate in these instructional sessions and jam sessions around the campgrounds. When the sun sets, the excitement will continue on the late-night stage in Yellow Creek Park’s Jim Lambert Pioneer Village.
Presale tickets and camping passes for the 2025 ROMP Festival are available now, with free admission for children under 12. For more information, visit rompfest.com.
