A Peach Of A Festival From The Allman Brothers Band

The band announces its first ever Peach Music Festival, happening in Pennsylvania in August.

Set for August 10-12 near Scranton at the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain and Sno Mountain Ski Area & Water Park, the lineup also includes Zac Brown Band, Tedeschi Trucks Band, O.A.R., Warren Haynes Band, Railroad Earth, Blackberry Smoke, Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band, Dark Star Orchestra, The Wailers, Robert Randolph & The Family Band, The Blind Boys Of Alabama, Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, Trigger Hippy, Toubab Krewe, Grimace Federation, Tauk, Cabinet, Miz and more.

Of course, you get plenty of The Allman Brothers Band with the group playing the “Peach Stage” at the Toyota Pavilion Aug. 10 and 11. While a complete day-by-day schedule hasn’t yet been announced, organizers did give partial details, saying Warren Haynes Band and Zac Brown Band will appear on the Peach Stage Aug. 10 while Tedeschi Trucks Band and O.A.R. play the fruit-named mainstage Aug. 11. Appearing on the “Mushroom Stage” at Sno Mountain Aug. 11 will be Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band, Railroad Earth, Toubab Krewe and more leading up to a headlining Wailers performance.

Organizers said the last day of the festival will feature a “stripped-down side of the Peach” taking place on the Mushroom Stage, including a “gospel brunch music celebration” with Robert Randolph & the Family Band and the Blind Boys Of Alabama.

A statement released by The Allman Brothers Band pretty much summed up the vibe the band has planned for you.

“Nothing quite like spending the weekend with our family and friends in the mountains. We’ve put together a line-up of our favorite bands, to make the first annual Peach Music Festival something our fans will really enjoy.”
