The 15th Annual All Good Music Festival kicked off today on Marvin’s Mouuntaintop near Masontown, WV. The festival has won many fans over the years as it primarily features only one act at a time on alternating stages. This year’s headliners include Furthur, Primus, Pretty Lights, STS9 and more with each slated for multi-hour timeslots.
Check back with us over the course of the four-day festival as Hidden Track’s Andrew Bender will be submitting regular reports and photos with daily All Good highlights. All Good promoters announced earlier this week that four-day passes were sold out, but three-day passes for Friday through Sunday are still available at the gate. No word yet on what ticket sales or expected total attendance, but they may well surpass last year’s record setting attendance.
Here’s a brief pre-festival report from Andrew, who’s already encamped on the mountain…
Festivalgoers couldn’t have asked for better weather to make the hilly trek up to the site of this year’s All Good Music Festival as they get set up for what promises to be as big a party as they’ve ever seen on Marvin’s Mountaintop. The two side-by-side stages are pushed further back this year allowing for even more dancing on flat ground. All preparations seem to be coming together as water trucks spray the gravel roads in a constant battle to keep the dust at bay. Thursday night will feature sets from Hot Buttered Rum, Beats Antique and John Butler Trio as well as a late night performance by STS9. I’ll be writing more about the music, the scene and everything that makes this festival an annual visit for many in the coming days.
