The String Cheese Incident will headline CaveJam, a two-day, two-stage festival at The Caverns over Memorial Day Weekend, May 24-25, 2025. Festival highlights include two nights of performances by The String Cheese Incident, featuring three above-ground sets and a special late-night set in The Caverns' renowned subterranean venue.
“Playing at The Caverns was one of the highlights of our summer tour,” says Michael Kang of The String Cheese Incident. “The amphitheater above ground was one of the coolest outdoor venues I’ve ever been to. When we descended into the cave, it became truly magical and unique—totally epic and unforgettable!”
Bill Nershi added, “The outdoor amphitheater at The Caverns is beautiful, but when we played our show in the cave, you could really feel the energy. It was truly magical.”
