The masses are heading to rural Virginia outside Arrington in the Blue Ridge Mountains (about 35 miles south of Charlottesville) for a heavy-hitting lineup at the inaugural Lock'n Festival (formerly called Interlochen) The fest starts Thursday night., Sept. 5, and runs through Sunday, September 8.
It's an embarrassment of musical riches with Furthur, Jimmy Cliff, Trey Anastasio Band, Widespread Panic, String Cheese Incident, Grace Potter, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Warren Haynes Band, Black Crowes, The Punch Brothers, John Fogerty and lots more. The organizers plan continuous uninterrupted music between two stages, which means everybody there will get to see the same shows. That's relaxing and fantastic.
There are still tickets available -- a four-day pass is $285. You have to buy a separate camping pass, and there are various options, some where you can camp alongside your car and some where you can't. A four-day pass that allows you to camp with your car is $50.
This fest is being put on by Dave Frey and Peter Shapiro. Frey puts out the excellent Relix magazine. The lineup, the beautiful setting, the two-stage setup, all of it -- promises to be an epic end to the summer fest season. Dance dance dance and shake your bones!
