“I still love attending live concerts - there is nothing like being part of a group appreciating the music.
I love road trips where I can get to some place in one day and stay a couple of days.
Thank you for keeping AROTR running for as long as you have. I never realized how much work goes into running something as amazing as this event. There will never be anything like it ever!”
- Harriet K.
“AROTR is like nothing else I have ever experienced. I am in a constant state of happiness! The incredible music, the feelings of love and friendship that just surround you wherever you go.”
“It was one of the best AROTRs yet!! The music and talent were amazing. Thanks to all for another FABulous weekend of music and also all of your efforts to keep us safe!”
The organizers have really got this event nailed. The crowd is great - we all came for the same reason, to relive our youth and the music we grew up with. There's no hassles, everyone is courteous.
This is our second year attending, and no doubt it will be an annual event for us. In fact, we had friends fly in from Providence, RI who have attended Abbey Road on the River for 12 years!
-Ed S.
“Superb! Kudos to the hard-working management team of Abbey Road for putting on this great festival w/ such talented musicians and doing it in a way that we could all feel safe! ”
“One of the highlights of my year! No one did music quite like our Beatles. And THANK YOU for bringing back the Fab Four. They are nothing less than amazing. As close as we can come to seeing The Beatles!”
“One of the best ones we have been to-flew in from Seattle and coulda kissed the ground for that first show 😀”
“The best music festival anywhere, any time, year after year. I can’t think of a better way to spend 5 days of every year.”
“Had a terrific time at Abbey Road in Jeffersonville!”
Patty B.
“My first visit and what a great time! The band’s were great. The stages were offset so you could hear the band in front of you. We explored all of Jeffersonville and Louisville. Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend!”
“Safe, friendly environment.”
“Best music festival I’ve ever been to! We have planned our year around this festival for the last 17 years. Nothing keeps us away! From the promoter, to the band’s, to the staff, it is amazing in every way!”
“The best Beatles inspired festival in the world. If you love The Beatles, their music, and the music they inspired, you have to visit.”
“We had a great time! Attended Saturday night and Sunday. The Jeffersonville venue was a really good setup. We will definitely be back!”
“The venue was outstanding and the bands were even better!! Love and peace all weekend.”
“This was the first time I have been to Abbey Road on the River! Loved it!! I will be back!! Loved all the bands!”
“This is such a fun festival and this venue is much better than the Louisville one. Easier parking, less traffic, a park for the kids, lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance and an easier stage setup to navigate. I hope they keep coming back to Jeffersonville. I know we will!”
Marcy Z. from Louisville, KY
“This event has more thought and planning than most. The team has built it from a small event to a huge event and still kept its charm. Now, in even a better location. You just have to go to this event.

“Seeing Classicstone again this year just proves to me that they are THE best tribute band alive. The vocals on Oh Darlin’! Seriously. If you haven’t seen them do Queen or Pink Floyd you MUST head down.”
"I thought this year's event was great!! Went for our 10th year in a row!! Love seeing familiar faces / kindred spirits!! What a fantastic way to start the summer every year!! Loved the singalongs till four in the morning -- can't wait until 2018!!"

I consider myself very lucky to have seen some of the most talented and amazing bands from all across the world at this Festival. I have met my very best friends here as well.
