BE 2026

THANK YOU / PASS UPDATES


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 21 – 24, 2024, 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.

PASS UPDATES
Because of the incredible response from our Big Ears family, supplies of the very popular – and limited – VIP Sonic Explorer and Premier level passes are dwindling, so if that’s the way you want to go, we urge you to act sooner rather than later! Additionally, a limited allotment of Early Bird General Admission passes remain available. Grab your passes before prices increase!

As usual, we have more to share – some artist additions as well as our film and literary programs and an exciting slate of conversations, talks, and exhibitions– very soon. Keep an eye on our social media channels and newsletter for latest info.
