Essence Music Festival
Jul 4-7, 2013 | New Orleans, LA

The Premiere Music & Cultural Festival - Summer New Orleans. The Essence Music Festival is the largest stateside gathering of African-Americans in the United States. It's where we all come together to celebrate entertainment and culture like no other festival in the world. Each year, over 400,000 people joined us in New Orleans, where we've been since 1993.

It doesn’t get any jammier than the All Good Music Festival & Campout (July 18-21, 2013). The first round lineup dropped today along with ticket sales. We’re looking at 22 confirmed artists with an additional 20+ to be announced at a later date.

Topping the list is the return of Further, which features Phil Lesh and Bob Weir blowing up the stage with Grateful Dead tunes. Festival favorites Pretty Lights, Primus, and STS9 will also perform along with Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, Leftover Salmon, Papadosio, Keller With the Travelin’ McCourys, and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue. See the full inital list below.

All Good will be back at Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio. Camping is a must at this festival — it’s one of the best parts of All Good. Hey, they’re even offering glamping this year for you softie city slickers that need a real bed.

Tickets: Tickets went on sale today at noon. It also marks the first time that the lineup was announced in conjunction with ticket sales. Tickets are going to run you $179 for a 4-day early bird pass which includes camping and parking. Buy tickets here on the official site.
