Last year’s inaugural WayHome festival drew widespread praise for some standout moments which included a three-hour set from Neil Young, a high-energy performance from rapper Kendrick Lamar and Sam Smith’s soulful closing performance, which he said marked his first time headlining a music festival.
WayHome organizers said that event drew 35,000 concertgoers.
The festival is a collaboration between promoters Republic Live and AC Entertainment, co-founder of Tennessee’s popular Bonnaroo Music Festival.
