“What started as an idea over ten years ago has turned into something much bigger
than we ever expected,” said Doug Corey and Andy McAnally, co-organizers of the
event. “We put a lot of effort each year into bringing A-level talent to Pendleton, but the
real success of Pendleton Whisky Music Fest comes from the support of the Pendleton
community, our partners, sponsors, staff, artists, and fans who continue to make this
event possible.”
Since launching in 2016, the Pendleton® Whisky Music Fest has featured an impressive
list of superstar performers, including Maroon 5, Blake Shelton, Post Malone, Zac Brown
Band, Pitbull, Toby Keith, Eric Church, Thomas Rhett, Macklemore, Kane Brown, Flo
Rida, Riley Green, Nelly, and Cody Johnson. The festival, held annually at the Pendleton
Round-Up Grounds, is made possible through the support of valued partners led by title
sponsor Pendleton® Whisky, a brand born in the Great American West and steeped in
true Western tradition, along with presenting sponsor Kelly Lumber Supply.
