Local festival organizers behind Mill Valley Music Festival, Noise Pop Industries and The Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce, are excited to reveal the daily performance lineup as the independently-owned-and-operated weekend event returns May 10-11, bringing headliners Gary Clark Jr. and Nile Rodgers & Chic to Northern California alongside a handful of incredible music acts.
Having announced the highly-anticipated fourth anniversary lineup just last week following fervent fan demand, Mill Valley Music Festival is celebrating this year’s incredible roster of talent by releasing single-day tickets for fans, available now at MillValleyMusicFest.com. Interested fans can snag one-day tickets to either Saturday or Sunday, addition to two-day GA passes and VIP packages on sale now.
DAILY LINEUP OF PERFORMERS
Kicking off the weekend-long party on Saturday, Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter/musician and legendary guitarist Gary Clark Jr. will headline the main stage with an epic evening performance filled with his most popular hits as well as songs from his recently released fourth studio album, JPEG Raw. His can’t-miss set will be preceded by crowd-pleasing afternoon performances from funk maestros and jazz pioneers with the likes of Crosby Collective featuring Jason Crosby, Vieux Farka Touré and Ghost-Note, not to mention NorCal’s own Elliott Peck.
Furthermore, Mill Valley Music Festival just announced several special guests set to join the talented multi-instrumentalist Jason Crosby’s new musical collective featuring a medley of accomplished and award-winning touring musicians. This includes co-founding member of the iconic jam band Widespread Panic, Dave Schools; Lamar Williams Jr., son of the late Lamar Williams known for touring with The Allman Brothers-fame for many years and who himself later worked alongside greats like the North Mississippi Allstars and The New Mastersounds; and Greg Leisz, who's performed alongside the likes of Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, and Ray LaMontagne; in addition to John Kimock, Tom Guarna, Alethea Mills, Andre Washington, and Jeremy Jeffers.
On Sunday for Day 2, sounds of blues and soul from acclaimed acts such as Monophonics, Sister Nancy, Thee Sinseers, and Mission Delirium will flood the sunny valley that encompasses Friends Field before headliner Nile Rodgers & Chic - the iconic rock-disco band led by Grammy Award-winning Rock-and-Roll-Hall-of-Fame inductee Nile Rodgers - close out an unforgettable festival weekend with a career-spanning set featuring popular hits from the band’s four-plus decades together.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE
Beyond just the music lineup, Mill Valley Music Festival is meant to serve as an annual springtime celebration of NorCal arts, culture and community, perfectly suited for both local residents and music-lovers of all ages from across the country.
Coming off the success of an incredible third edition last spring which boasted 10,000+ total attendees, 40+ local businesses, and nearly 20 music acts, Mill Valley Music Festival will return to Friends Field, a Redwood-lined destination less than an hour from the heart of San Francisco offering ample greenspace perfect for dancing, dining, drinking, shopping, and soaking up sunrays.
As always, this year’s fourth annual event will host a diverse lineup of programming in order to offer a taste of the good life in Mill Valley. Come May, festival attendees can explore the region’s best artisans, food vendors, and philanthropic causes through an extensive vendor market; plus family-friendly activities including the Kids Village, immersive art installations, large-scale sponsor activations, and roaming local performers; as well as local vintners, craft brewers, and special Mother’s Day Weekend surprises.
More programming is still to be announced, including the local vendor market, family-friendly activity schedule, nonprofit beneficiaries, and all-ages activities spread throughout the festival grounds.
