We are also excited to bring in some great bands that will be playing for the first time. And we have some cool collaborations that should reinvent the music while still keeping the soul of it, which, when it works, is magic and why we do the event.”

LOCKN’ Festival started in 2013 by a group of dedicated music fans aspiring to provide the ultimate atmosphere for live music and community to flourish. Previous artists who played the festival include: Tom Petty, Robert Plant, Phish, Carlos Santana, My Morning Jacket, Ween, Wilco, Zac Brown, Willie Nelson, Phil Lesh and more.

The founders believe the festival should be a blend of world-class music, local vendors, and community engagement. They add, “Our goal is not only to offer fans mind-blowing lineups but also to present the best in local and regional cuisine, craft beers and wines, and opportunities to explore our picturesque setting. We take pride in our local organizations and community leaders. We’re eager to support all the good folks who have supported us over the years.”
