The Tyler Childers-led Healing Appalachia festival has made some big announcements in 2025. First, it announced that the fest would be moving from West Virginia to Kentucky. Then it announced that country superstar Chris Stapleton would be joining Childers as a headliner for this mid-September event.
Of course, Healing Appalachia is about way more than just music. It's also a festival that actively supports addiction and recovery organizations and initiatives, and also raises money for the cause. The event, which started in 2018, has built itself up to one of the larger independent music festivals in the U.S., and this one might be the biggest yet.
Thousands of fans waited in queues to purchase tickets on the day they went live. All tickets include full access to the Boyd County Fairgrounds event in Ashland, TN, as well as primitive camping for the entire weekend. The festival also features many different food vendors as well as ice cold beer for those who imbibe.

Perhaps the most impressive part of this festival is that everyone working it volunteers their time, and 97 cents of every dollar goes into recovery efforts for the non-profit Hope in the Hills, LLC, which produces the event. So, if you go, you're literally helping in the mission of Healing Appalachia.
