ANNOUNCING SINGLE-DAY LINEUPS / SINGLE-DAY PASSES ON SALE!

Nothing compares to the full, four-day immersion of a Big Ears weekend, but if you can only join us for a day or two, we’ve got you covered.

A limited number of Single-Day Passes—including a Premier Pass option—are now available for each day of the festival.

And, yes, in addition to access to 35 – 70 concerts and events each day, Daily Passholders will be invited to the special pre-sale for any of Big Ears’ additionally-ticketed, reserved seat performances taking place on the day of your festival pass: David Byrne (Thursday and Friday), Robert Plant (Saturday), and The Avett Brothers + Mike Patton (Saturday).  Information about those coming soon, directly to your inbox.

Don’t miss out… get your pass today!
