Jeff Tweedy, Robert Glasper, Weyes Blood, Oneohtrix Point Never, Bill Frisell e Dinner Party — o supergrupo formado por Glasper, Terrace Martin, Kamasi Washington e 9th Wonder — lideram a programação do festival de música, arte e cinema.

Also listed are Thundercat, Wednesday, Natalie Merchant, Mavis Staples, Courtney Barnett, Sylvan Esso, Jim James, and Kevin Morby, among others. In total, the festival packs over 250 performances into two dozen venues.

Agora, em seu 14º ano, o Big Ears tem historicamente enfatizado o “Deep Listening”, termo cunhado pela pioneira compositora eletrônica do século XX Pauline Oliveros.

In a 2019 column for Pitchfork, Andrew Frisicano noted that the Knoxville festival has played a significant role in spearheading a broader sea change towards highly curated—though not necessarily concise—lineups and a “focus on meditative experiences.”.
