Earlier this year, Gregg Allman announced that he was bringing his new Laid Back Festival on the road for stops in five different locations. Initially held at the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, NY Allman revealed plans to expand to four new locations, including Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, and Morrison, CO.
While lineups for some of the festivals were previously released, today Allman finalized all five lineups with a major announcement. Each festival was curated by Allman himself, with the legendary Allman Brother choosing both the musicians and food options for each event.
