Ten years after beloved jam band summit All Good Music Festival went on ice, the event is being reimagined as All Good Now, a two-day event at Columbia, MD’s Merriweather Post Pavilion set to take place on June 14th and 15th, 2025 [get tickets].
The All Good Now lineup was carefully curated to feature mix of bands from All Good’s past and rising stars from today’s extended jam band scene. While the new event notably will not feature on-site camping like the All Good Campouts of old, its lineup echos the festival’s original spirit with returning acts like Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, The String Cheese Incident, The Disco Biscuits, moe., Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Keller Williams (performing a Grateful Gospel set), and The Bridge. They will be joined by standout acts from the years since All Good bid farewell a decade ago including Goose, Lawrence, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, Neal Francis, Dogs in a Pile, and Eggy. View the full artist lineup below.
“All Good coming back feels like home,” said Kenny Liner of The Bridge in a press statement. “So many moments that matter in this community were formed on that mountaintop, and we are excited to see it reborn in a fresh way, so that the next generation can create their own meaningful moments.”
Keller Williams added, “Whether it was in Maryland, Ohio, or either of the Virginias, All Good always had a warm and welcoming vibe. There were special events where babies were made.”
“We were just kids when we were playing All Good’s initial years in Wilmer Park,” reflected The Disco Biscuits keyboardist Aron Magner. “We were still a young band spreading our gospel around the country but planting firm roots with promoters who fostered a sense of community orbiting around a collective love of music. In those initial years of going back to All Good, we would continue to activate new fans and convert them to come on tour. Well … here we are! 25 years later. Still spreading our gospel, still working with promoters who foster a sense of community. The Disco Biscuits are honored to be part of the resurrection of All Good Now. Bigger and better!”
For nearly three decades, All Good Presents has fostered the growth of the jam band scene by bringing artists to local clubs and venues year-round, fostering a cycle by which emerging talent moves from club stages to major festival lineups and back again. With the support from I.M.P., All Good Presents will also work with world-renowned The Anthem, 9:30 Club, The 8×10, and The Atlantis to host a series of All Good Now Pre-Parties in the lead-up to the main event. These pre-parties will highlight All Good Presents’ deep ties to the local live music scene, allowing fans to catch favorite acts like STS9, Andy Frasco & the U.N., Moon Hooch, Sam Grisman Project, and The Bridge.

Set within the scenic Symphony Woods, Merriweather Post Pavilion has welcomed the biggest names in live music and hosted upwards of 150 festivals. Known for its 40-acre natural oasis, Merriweather is a historic hub for music lovers, conveniently located between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Following extensive renovations in 2017, Merriweather now features an elevated SkyLawn, and a new roof raised 20 feet with integrated solar panels powering much of the production. Chief among Merriweather’s recent updates is The Chrysalis, an architectural marvel of a stage within Symphony Woods which wil allow All Good Now to present its programming with no overlapping sets.
While All Good has not taken place in a decade, its legacy has endured and influenced a new generation of acts. Greg Ormont of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong explained, “All Good was the mecca for the mid-Atlantic music scene for years. It was our North Star as a rising band and a dream come true to finally play it in 2015. There was simply nothing like All Good Festival… until All Good Now!”
Jake Brownstein of Eggy added, “Growing up in Connecticut, I always dreamed of attending the renowned All Good Music Festival. My first music festival experience was Gathering of the Vibes when I was just 16 years old. That transformative event shaped the course of my life, fueling my passion for live music. I promised myself I would one day make it to All Good, but as a young person without means, I was never able to turn that dream into a reality. Until now. To be invited back as an artist for the festival’s return is more than I ever could have imagined. I’m honored to be a part of this momentous occasion.”
“It’s really funny because we are too young to have ever experienced All Good as fans or to perform there, but it’s been the talk of the town for as long as we’ve been on the festival circuit, and we are so excited to be part of the event,” noted Dogs In A Pile manager Ross Peterzell.
