THANK YOU / esperanza’s STRINGS, LANKUM’S LORE, AND MORE
Thank You!
There’s always a thrill that accompanies the announcement of a new Big Ears Festival. Last week’s record-breaking response to our plans for March 27 – 30, 2025, was an energizing and inspiring affirmation of our vision and our great fortune to be part of such a fabulous community of musicians and music lovers.
Because of the incredible response from our Big Ears family, supplies are running low:
*VIP Sonic Explorer and Premier level passes are dwindling
*While a limited quantity of 4-Day Weekend Passes remain at the Tier 1 price, the Early Bird price level sold out in record time.
*The chance to secure passes with a 10% deposit and fees via the layaway plan ends on September 26
We will once again offer Single Day Passes soon. Stay tuned to our newsletter, social media, and website for all of the latest information. Purchase your passes, here!

Lankum
Originating from Dublin, Lankum is a group that redefines Irish traditional music by incorporating experimental sounds. While they rely on folk instruments inherent to Irish music, they infuse their songs with drone music and psychedelia, creating a dynamic and almost punk-like vibe. Their performances are characterized by powerful four-part harmonies that enhance the experimental feel while staying true to their Irish roots.
