All Good Music Festival Reimagined As All Good Now, Topped By Goose & Joe Russo’s Almost Dead
A decade after All Good Music Festival was retired, the event is returning under the banner All Good Now. The festival takes place at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, June 14-15 with a lineup topped by Goose, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead and The String Cheese Incident.
An announcement from All Good Now organizers explains that All Good Now “blends the legacy of the original festival with an iconic venue and an exciting lineup, capturing the timeless energy that brought thousands together for nearly two decades.”
Along with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead and TSCI, returning artists who were previously featured at All Good Music Festival include The Disco Biscuits, moe., Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Keller Williams, and The Bridge.
In its mission to provide “a celebration that spans the full evolution of the jam band and grassroots music scenes,” All Good Now will also feature performances from acts new to All Good Now including Lawrence, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, Neal Francis, and Dogs in a Pile.
“All Good coming back feels like home,” Kenny Liner of The Bridge said in a statement. “So many moments that matter in this community were formed on that mountaintop, and we are excited to see it reborn in a fresh way, so that the next generation can create their own meaningful moments.”
The Disco Biscuits’ keyboardist Aron Magner added, “We were just kids when we were playing All Good’s initial years in Wilmer Park. We were still a young band spreading our gospel around the country but planting firm roots with promoters who fostered a sense of community orbiting around a collective love of music. In those initial years of going back to All Good, we would continue to activate new fans and convert them to come on tour. Well … here we are! 25 years later. Still spreading our gospel, still working with promoters who foster a sense of community. The Disco Biscuits are honored to be part of the resurrection of All Good Now. Bigger and better!”
Tickets for All Good Now will go on sale Nov. 22. Hotel packages, VIP options, and full ticketing packages will also be available.
Ahead of the festival, All Good Presents will host a series of All Good Now Pre-Parties at venues across Baltimore and Washington, D.C., including The Anthem, 9:30 Club, The Atlantis, and The 8×10, featuring acts like STS9, Andy Frasco & the U.N., Moon Hooch, Sam Grisman Project, and The Bridge.
