Cosmic roots-rockers Futurebirds, GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter Jim Lauderdale, and emerging honky tonk act Ramona & the Holy Smokes have been added to the lineup for the 24th annual Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion music festival, slated for Sept. 19-21 in Historic Downtown Bristol, Tenn.-Va.

Headliners The Teskey Brothers, Shane Smith & The Saints, Lukas Nelson, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, The Band Perry, Joy Oladokun, Steep Canyon Rangers, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and Mountain Grass Unit, and many, many more, were announced last month.

Big-name headliners Lenny Kravitz (Friday), Sublime (Saturday), and Alanis Morissette (Sunday) led the way on the massive High Tide (the official main stage with its enormous viewing-area lawn of artificial but lush, cool grass) and Low Tide (in front of an expansive sandy beach) stages, with big 90-minute sets in front of up to 11,000 jolly souls. Other mighty 60 and 75-minute alternating performances on the High and Low Tide stages were delivered by such acclaimed performers as Train, The Beach Boys (with John Stamos), the Pretenders, Jackson Browne, Mt. Joy, Marcus King, Cake, Skip Marley, Susanna Hoffs, and Aloe Blacc.

Finally, Pearl Jam closed the main stage with a dynamic, crowd‑pleasing performance. The band fielded rare requests like “Love Boat Captain” and filled their setlist with hits from their heyday—opening with “Corduroy,” and weaving in “Daughter,” “Even Flow” (dedicated to Saints superfan Steve Gleason), “Black,” “Jeremy,” and “Yellow Ledbetter.” They also showcased newer material from last year’s Dark Matter. As tradition dictates, they wrapped up with Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” and The Who’s “Baba O’Riley,” leaving the audience energized and satisfied.

Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival continued its legacy as the Biggest Rock Fest In Columbus History over the weekend as 175,000 music fans converged on Historic Crew Stadium in Ohio for the sold-out event, held May 8-11. More than 100 bands played on four stages, with a number of special and unexpected moments taking place over the four days, including:
 

Viva El Gonzo, Goose’s inaugural destination festival, kicked off on Thursday, May 8, 2025. Held in San Jose del Cabo, California Baja Sur, Mexico, the premises contained three different stages, each having a unique setup and character. Nestled around Puerto Los Cabos, the event grounds offered sweeping views of the ocean, bamboo lined sandy trails, and a relaxing warm atmosphere.

Under overcast skies and a mild, comfortable breeze, the second day of week two at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival delivered a truly memorable experience. The crowds—neither overwhelming nor sparse—created an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere that perfectly complemented the diverse lineup of local, international, jazz, rock, and world music acts.

The second Thursday of Jazz Fest was hot and humid despite forecasts of possible rain. The Fair Grounds buzzed with even more visitors than the previous week, and by midafternoon, lines for food and drinks dotted the vast venue. The heat felt more intense under a cloudless sky that replaced last week’s breezy, pleasant weather. Still, the humidity remained manageable and never threatened to become the sweltering NOLA heat lurking on the horizon.

The City of Brownwood is excited to announce the new music lineup for the second annual Feels Like Home Festival returning Saturday, October 4th to the Brownwood Event Center in Brownwood, Texas. 

Florida’s beloved boutique music and arts festival, Orange Blossom Revue, returns for its 11th annual celebration December 5–6, 2025. Set in the scenic Lake Wailes Park, just outside historic downtown Lake Wales and an easy drive from central Florida hubs like Tampa and Orlando, this year’s edition delivers a dynamic mix of gritty Southern rock, swampy soul, and high-energy Americana.

Philly Music Fest returns for its ninth annual edition October 13 - 19, 2025, expanding from seven shows to nine shows.  PMF is a citywide celebration of Philly musicians, exclusively located at independently owned venues and, most importantly, after paying the musicians and venues, donates profits to music education programs.
