LOCKN' has announced the "Friends" who will perform with Phil Lesh at this year's festival, including Jon Fishman & Page McConnell (Phish), Joe Russo (Joe Russo's Almost Dead) and The Infamous Stringdusters on Saturday, and Chris Robinson Brotherhood with a special guest sit-in by Gary Clark Jr. on Sunday. Saturday's Phil Lesh & Friends performance featuring Jon Fishman & Joe Russo will invoke the double-drumming spirit of the Grateful Dead.
The four-day festival will take place August 25 - 28 at Oak Ridge Farm in Arrington, VA, presenting headliners Phish, who will make their first appearance at the festival with a two-night, four-set slot on Friday and Sunday of the weekend. This will mark the band's only festival performance in 2016. Recently reunited Ween will perform right before Phish on Friday night. Another LOCKN' first timer, the beloved My Morning Jacket will headline on Saturday night, playing their last shows of the year on the East Coast.
