Lockn

Across three weekends, Lockn’ will host Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Goose, Lettuce, Dawes (playing Black Sabbath’s ‘Paranoid’), Dr. Dog, Hiss Golden Messenger, Tedeschi Trucks, and more…

”Despite the efforts of our team, it’s become clear it won’t be viable to safely and responsibly gather at LOCKN’ in 2020. So, we must announce that we have decided to shift our focus to 2021.”

”We are asking that patrons be responsible regarding their level of risk to themselves and others,” Lockn’ writes in their new safety guide.

It’ll feature ”live music, archival footage, exclusive content, surprise guest appearances, and much more.”

With measures trying to stop the spread of the coronavirus, tours/festivals through spring (and a few beyond) are being postponed/canceled left and right and some have now been rescheduled….here are the latest updates.

The fest will be headlined by different Phil Lesh sets all three nights (one with David Crosby, one with John Mayer), and it will also feature an Old & In The Way set with Peter Rowan, Gov’t Mule, Phish’s Mike Gordon, Bruce Hornsby, Garcia Peoples, and more…

Virginia jam festival Lockn’ usually happens in August, but in 2020 it’ll take place in June and also celebrate the 80th birthday of Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh.

In addition to headlining Sunday night, Bob Weir played Grateful Dead songs with a bunch of other acts on the lineup, Trey Anastasio played the ‘Layla’ album with Tedeschi Trucks Band, and more…

Before you start mourning the state of U.S. music festivals, here are ten slightly more under-the-radar fests happening this year that prove the festival circuit is still alive and well.

The 2019 Lockn’ lineup also includes Oteil & Friends (with Bob Weir), Khruangbin, Old Crow Medicine Show, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, The Soul Rebels, Melvin Seals & JGB, and more.
