Not sure if he’s buying the beers, but Dierks Bentley is coming to a big ol' downtown Tampa barbeque this fall.

Today, Tampa Pig Jig announced its 2024 lineup, and it’s topped by the 48-year-old, 15-time Grammy nominee. New Orleans indie-rock giant The Revivalists is also on the bill, which leans wholly on country everywhere else.

Alabama duo Muscadine Bloodline is playing Tampa Pig Jig, too, along with The Cadillac Three (“The South”), and rising songwriter Greylan James.

Tickets to Tampa Pig Jig 2024 at Julian B. Lane Park in Tampa, Florida on Saturday, Oct. 19 go on sale Friday, April 26 at 10 a.m. EDT and start at $130 for early bird general admission.

In its 13th year, Tampa Pig Jig has evolved out of a backyard barbecue that raised funds for a friend diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, the festival has raised more than $7 million and used it to help patients and families affected by the rare and debilitating kidney disease.

Now, thousands descend upon downtown Tampa for the festival, which is also a giant barbeque competition that’s booked big name headliners like Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker and more.
