A new music festival that promised to bring world-class entertainment to Lexington this summer has dropped its lineup, with The Raconteurs and Hozier topping the list.

AC Entertainment — the company behind the Forecastle and Bonnaroo festivals —announced plans for the two-day Railbird Festival earlier this year, promoting it as an event that would bring together the best of Kentucky from horse racing to bourbon to elevated food.

The company, along with Lexington entrepreneur David Helmers, released its lineup and additional information Tuesday, breaking down the more than 30 musical acts that will perform across three stages during the two-day event.

Acts will include Tyler Childers, Brandi Carlile, Gary Clark Jr. and Old Crow Medicine Show.

The musicians will be joined by a group of renowned chefs, including Lexington's Ouita Michel, "Top Chef" runner-up Sara Bradley and "Master Chef" alumnus Dan Wu.

The festival will take place Aug. 10-11 at the Keeneland horse track, where guests will be also be able to wager bets on simulcast races.

Keeneland’s own BETologists will be on site with tips for winning big, a press release stated.
