LOCKN Festival 2019

Arrington, Virginia

LOCKN Festival 2019: The Ultimate Jam Band Festival In Virginia

For four days each year, the foothills of the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains comes alive with music and fans who breathe the Grateful Dead at the LOCKN’ Festival. Jam bands born out of inspiration from the legendary band, as well as other incredible acts, come together in what feels like one huge hippie party. Through the years, the music festival started incorporating other genres including reggae, jazz, Americana, country, and rock, all rolled into one phenomenal music festival. No less than the Allman Brothers Band, The Black Crowes, The String Cheese Incident, Matisyahu, and Sheryl Crow have been on the bill in the past.

‘The LOCKN Festival 2019 is a celebration of all things jam band culture, an event with a groovy hippie atmosphere and a pulsating vibe you’ll be crazy not to dance to.’

But more than just the music, you’ll encounter a blend of the best regional and local cuisine, an extensive array of fine wines and craft beers, and lots of time to explore the breathtaking scenery. If you need even more reason to attend, the LOCKN’ Festival has been known to bring out THE BEST out of everyone here – both the audience and the performers alike. In fact, it’s hard not to feel peace and love all over, even in the campsites.

It’s a festival of love, peace, and harmony too; and one thing’s for sure: we all could use some of that in this day and age.
