It’s All Good At All Good

Widespread Panic, Further feat. Phil Lesh & Bob Weir and Umphrey’s McGee top off the lineup at this year’s , planned for July 8-11 at Marvin’s Mountaintop near Masontown, West Virginia.

Although the daily lineups have yet to be nailed down, the festival will also feature performances by Yonder Mountain String Band, Dark Star Orchestra, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Lotus, Femi Kuti & The Positive Force, Rebelution, Railroad Earth, The New Deal, Perpetual Groove, Cornmeal, Fort Knox Five and The Macpodz with more to be announced.

The festival promises “no overlapping sets,” making for an anxiety-free weekend where you won’t miss a single note by your favorite bands and artists.

Tickets go on sale this Friday at high noon local time. Included in the options is the festival’s VIP offer, dubbed the “Even Better” package, which includes early admission, car camping, discounted beverages, light snacks, VIP access to showers and private bathrooms including air conditioning. Ah, yes, there’s nothing like “roughing it.”
