A short jaunt from Louisville, French Lick Resort is the sweet spot of entertainment destinations: easy drive, great acts at the right price, and best of all — there is so much to explore at the resort before or after the concert. This summer, the resort is hosting a great line-up with Jake Owen & Uncle Kracker (June 21); Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (July 25); Kip More (August 23) and Shaggy (Oct. 11).
Jake Owen with special guest Uncle Kracker
Saturday, June 21
Why you’ll want a seat to this show: Two terrific acts on one ticket. You can “Drift Away” with Uncle Kracker, who’s always the soundtrack of good times with his boldly breezy blend of country, pop, rock and hip-hop. And could Jake Owen’s hits be more perfect sing-along songs for summer nights? Kick back for a “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” and go “Beachin’” with one of country music’s biggest voices who has produced ten No. 1 singles.
Add it to the weekend itinerary: Book a Bourbon Tasting Train Package and pre-game for the concert in style. This joint venture between the resort and the nearby French Lick Scenic Railway offers a train excursion with bourbons and paired appetizers, plus overnight accommodations at the end of the evening. You can take the 5:00 pm train ride and be back in plenty of time to see the headliners take the concert stage at 8:00.
More of a wine person? Try the afternoon Wine & Canvas event at West Baden Springs Hotel, and have dinner at Ballard’s in the Atrium under the hotel’s iconic dome before the concert.
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Friday, July 25
Why you’ll want a seat to this show: It’s the last call to see this 3-time Grammy-winning group. They’re taking one final victory lap on All the Good Times: The Farewell Tour. You’ll be able to hear their first major hit “Mr. Bojangles” plus chart-toppers “Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper’s Dream),” “Modern Day Romance,” and “Fishin’ in the Dark.”
Add it to the weekend itinerary: Make it over to French Lick Casino and keep the good times (and the music) rolling. They’ll have DJ entertainment going until 1:00 am both nights this weekend with Hot Summer Nights on Friday and country line dancing on Saturday. Once you’ve tried your hand at the slot machines, blackjack table or sportsbook, it’s just a short walk or a free trolley ride to your hotel room.
Kip Moore
Saturday, August 23
Why you’ll want a seat to this show: Because the whole world has caught on to this country star who’s produced more than a dozen chart-topping singles. Moore’s tour sweeps through Canada, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Netherlands and the UK this year before coming back to the USA to thrill fans with “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck,” “Hey Pretty Girl,” “Beer Money” and “More Girls Like You.”
Add it to the weekend itinerary: Have dinner with an unforgettable view at the Sunday evening Sunset Dinner at The Mansion at Pete Dye — well worth staying an extra day. Horse-drawn carriage rides at the hotels are another slice of luxury. And if you’re looking for some fun in the sun, play a round at Sand Creek, the resort’s new short course perfect for seasoned golfers and first-timers alike.
Shaggy
Friday, October 11
Why you’ll want a seat to this show: After a summer full of country and roots artists, switch up the beat with one of the biggest reggae artists of all time. Even after all these years, you haven’t forgotten the words to Shaggy’s classics like “Angel” and “It Wasn’t Me.” A two-time Grammy winner, Shaggy’s feel-good, high-energy shows always deliver.
Add it to the weekend itinerary: See the future stars of golf in their biggest event of the season. The Korn Ferry Tour Championship returns to The Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort, where the tour’s top finishers will be awarded their PGA Tour cards for the 2026 season. You just might see world-class golfers of the future, as players like Scottie Scheffler and Zach Johnson are Korn Ferry Tour alums.
