Why LOCKN' Is The Festival Of A Lifetime

LOCKN' Festival, formerly known as Interlocken Music Festival, is taking on their sixth annual celebration August 23rd - 26th at the gorgeous Infinity Downs and Oak Ridge Farm in Arrington, Virginia. We're ecstatic to share with you exactly why you're attending this historical year at LOCKN'.

LOCKN' is a four day-night fully immersive music, arts, and camping festival where attendees gather yearly for an experience unlike any other. The uniquely organized grounds on Oak Ridge Farm & Infinity Downs have grown to be a sense of home for many attendees, a place where we are free of all our worries, where we let our freak out, and simply enjoy the magic surrounding us.

LOCKN's lineup this year includes groundbreaking historical acts such as Dead and Company, Widespread Panic, Sheryl Crow, George Clinton, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Umphrey's McGee, Lettuce, Blues Traveler, Matisyahu, along with so many more that will guide you to euphoria. Dive into the plethora of talented musicians and artist collaborations all happening this month at LOCKN' below.

This is something you never see this day and age, a TRUE welcoming jam festival, and the only Woodstock of our generation that still exists. This event truly sets a defining example that is safe for people of all ages, friends, family, race, and the handicap.

Being that today is Jerry Garcia's birthday, really think about the last time Dead and Company even performed at a festival setting. We don't think it's happened yet! That being said, this event is extremely special for all Grateful Dead fans and attendees as we will be celebrating the last 2018 performance at LOCKN' together.

Think it's time to detach? You deserve it. Sometimes feel like you need a vacation for the soul? Find yourself and experience what we consider the festival of a lifetime August 23rd - 26th in Arrington, Virginia. Tickets are currently starting as low as $139!

Watch Justin Vernon Perform With Dead & Company

Dead and Company, made up of original members of Grateful Dead along with a number of special guest artists, stopped in Troy, Wisconsin last night and brought a surprise. Although John Mayer has become a permanent member of the band while they are on on the road, the Dead also brought out Justin Vernon, the mastermind behind Bon Iver.

It's rejuvenating to see nearly two opposite generations of music with a gap of over forty years, come together and simply jam for Dead heads and new fans alike. See the the crew jam during their rendition that night of "Bird Song". It certainly gets heavy around the 12:00 minute mark.

Dead and Company are on the road for another two weeks. Lucky for all of us, they will also be performing a total of four sets at music, arts and camping event, LOCKN' Festival taking place August 23rd - 26th in Arrington, Virginia. Take a peek at the event and look at your ticketing options HERE!

Bonnaroo 2016 Is Here!

Last night Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival finally shared the upcoming 15 year anniversary lineup through the Conan O'Brien Show, where Conan strategically revealed the acts playing Bonnaroo with funny puns and jokes during the late night special.

Conan did a phenomenal job announcing the official lineup for all of us Bonnaroovians out there. Headliners for Bonnaroo's 15th birthday include Pearl Jam, Dead & Company, and LCD Soundsystem.

Mind you, this is the first phase of the lineup with only 107 artists announced at this time. We are beyond excited to share this news with all of you as it looks to be another legendary year on the farm. A true vacation for the soul is to say the least of it.
