New festivals come and go these days, but the new
Interlocken Festival taking place in central Virginia this September looks like
it will have the magnitude to make an impact on the live music scene of
today. Taking place September 5-8 in Arrington, VA, the
Interlocken Festival will feature alternating continuous performances on two
main stages. Unlike most other
festivals, there will be fewer bands playing full two hour sets. Many of the headlining bands’ performances
will feature unique collaborations and many featured acts will each be playing
on multiple nights throughout the four days of music heaven. May 21st saw the first
announcement of confirmed artists, and one would have to think that this might
be the new Rothbury. Coming right out of
the gate they announce multiple sets from four of the biggest and best jambands
around today. We will see three nights
of Furthur, two nights of Widespread Panic, two nights of The String Cheese
Incident, and two nights of The Black Crowes.
Interlocken adds a unique flare to the spectacle by featuring an
exclusive special performance of Workingman’s Dead for one of the Furthur sets. Widespread Panic will feature John
Fogerty one night, and String Cheese will feature Zac Brown one night. Top it all off with Neil Young and Crazy
Horse and you have the workings of what could become a yearly event that is not
to be missed.

Not bad for the first tier
artist announcement. The festival
promoters definitely picked a great location.
The land is nestled in the foothills of the beautifully scenic Blue
Ridge Mountains and is very centralized on the Eastern Seaboard, making it
reasonably easy to access if you live on this side of the country.
Stay tuned, more acts will be announced soon. Early bird tickets go on sale for $199 (Today) May 23
at 10:00 am est. Be sure to get your
ticket now before the price goes up to $249 for tier one and $285 for tier two. Camping and parking passes are extra. We will see you there!
