Returning acts like Joe Russo's Almost Dead, The String Cheese Incident, The Disco Biscuits, moe., Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Keller Williams, and The Bridge will grace the stage, reconnecting with their devoted fans and introducing their music to a new generation.

"All Good coming back feels like home," said Kenny Liner of The Bridge, echoing the sentiments of many artists who have fond memories of the festival's past. Keller Williams added, "Whether it was in Maryland, Ohio, or either of the Virginias, All Good always had a warm and welcoming vibe. There were special events where babies were made."

Fostering a Sense of Community and Nurturing Emerging Talent

For nearly three decades, All Good Presents has been a driving force in the jam band scene, bringing artists to local clubs and venues year-round. This deep-rooted connection to the live music community will be on full display as All Good Now partners with renowned venues like The Anthem, 9:30 Club, The 8×10, and The Atlantis to host a series of pre-parties in the lead-up to the main event. These pre-parties will showcase the festival's commitment to supporting emerging talent, allowing fans to discover new acts alongside their favorite established performers."We were just kids when we were playing All Good's initial years in Wilmer Park," reflected The Disco Biscuits keyboardist Aron Magner. "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!"

A Scenic Venue Embracing Sustainability and Innovation

The return of All Good Now will be hosted at the renowned Merriweather Post Pavilion, a historic hub for music lovers nestled within the scenic Symphony Woods. Known for its 40-acre natural oasis and recent renovations, Merriweather now boasts an elevated SkyLawn, a new roof with integrated solar panels, and the architectural marvel of The Chrysalis stage within Symphony Woods. These enhancements will allow All Good Now to present its programming with no overlapping sets, ensuring an unparalleled festival experience for attendees.Merriweather's commitment to sustainability and innovation aligns perfectly with the ethos of the All Good brand, which has always been at the forefront of environmental consciousness and community-driven initiatives. The festival's revival at this iconic venue promises to deliver a truly immersive and unforgettable experience for music enthusiasts.

Honoring the Legacy and Inspiring the Next Generation

While All Good has not taken place in a decade, its legacy has endured and influenced a new generation of acts. Greg Ormont of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong expressed the sentiment shared by many, stating, "All Good was the mecca for the mid-Atlantic music scene for years. It was our North Star as a rising band and a dream come true to finally play it in 2015. There was simply nothing like All Good Festival… until All Good Now!"For younger artists like Jake Brownstein of Eggy, the opportunity to perform at the revived All Good Now festival is a dream come true. "Growing up in Connecticut, I always dreamed of attending the renowned All Good Music Festival. My first music festival experience was Gathering of the Vibes when I was just 16 years old. That transformative event shaped the course of my life, fueling my passion for live music. I promised myself I would one day make it to All Good, but as a young person without means, I was never able to turn that dream into a reality. Until now. To be invited back as an artist for the festival's return is more than I ever could have imagined. I'm honored to be a part of this momentous occasion."The excitement surrounding the revival of All Good Now extends beyond the artists themselves, as evidenced by the comments from the up-and-coming band Dogs In A Pile. "It's really funny because we are too young to have ever experienced All Good as fans or to perform there, but it's been the talk of the town for as long as we've been on the festival circuit, and we are so excited to be part of the event," noted the band's manager, Ross Peterzell.As the countdown to All Good Now begins, music lovers across the region and beyond eagerly await the opportunity to immerse themselves in the revived spirit of this iconic festival. With a carefully curated lineup, a commitment to fostering community, and a stunning venue that embraces sustainability and innovation, All Good Now promises to be a triumphant return to the jam band scene, inspiring a new generation of music enthusiasts and creating unforgettable memories for all who attend.
