Although the past two years of the Pilgrimage Music and Cultural Festival in Franklin, Tenn. have featured an eclectic mix of live acts, pop and country collided in a major way this year. Justin Timberlake, this year's headlining act on Saturday, surprised fans by collaborating with old friends Chris and Morgane Stapleton. But they were far from the only artists representing country and Americana at the two-day event. Here are our snapshots of the best acts from Pilgrimage Festival 2017.
