In mid-December, 2017, jamgrass favorites Cabinet announced that they would be taking an indefinite hiatus following their three-night 2017-2018 New Year’s run. While that hiatus is still seemingly in effect, the band has now been added to the already-stellar lineup for this year’s The Peach Music Festival, billed as their only performance of 2018. The Scranton, PA natives have played every Peach Fest since the festival’s inception in 2012, so the one-time booking comes as a relief for fans who come back year after year.
The sole Cabinet performance on this trip around the Sun is set to take place on The Peach’s first day, Thursday, July 19th. The event will extend through the weekend, ending on Sunday, July 22nd.
The announcement came as an added surprise along with the reveal of the festival’s daily schedules yesterday. Cabinet will perform alongside Twiddle, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Turkuaz, and The Marcus King Band on the event’s opening day.

As the band members noted in their statement announcing their hiatus:
We are proud of what we have accomplished in the past 10 years and couldn’t be more grateful to have the support from all of our family, friends, and fans. CabFam is real and it has brought us much joy to watch all of you interact with us and each other throughout the years. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without you. So thank you, for being with us throughout this journey and evolving with us! … We don’t know what the future will hold but we fear not the unknown. We will continue to be positive in our actions and hope to share many more memories with you all as time rolls by.
While the future is still uncertain for Cabinet, it’s exciting to see that they still have the desire to get together and play for their fans. To grab your tickets to see Cabinet and the rest of the fantastic lineup at The Peach 2018, head to the festival’s website.
