Pigeons Playing Ping Pong‘s annual Domefest looked a little different this year when it took place this past weekend. For starters, it was held at the pride of Thornville, OH, Legend Valley, rather than its new home of Marvin’s Mountaintop in Masontown, WV. Also, all of the attendees were contained in pods and thus the festival was rebranded as Domefest: Party In The Pods.

Even with those noticeable differences, however, the crucial elements were the same. At the helm was Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, celebrating their 11th annual festival since guitarist Jeremy Schon began the event as his senior project in college. Also on board were frequent fliers Mungion, Columbus’ own Conscious Pilot, as well as the recently-reunited Broccoli Samurai. The weekend also featured another edition of the Domefest All-Stars super jam, which saw special appearances from Mike Gantzer (Aqueous) and Austin Litz (LITZ).

Throughout the two-day event, Pigeons took numerous opportunities to debut new, original material including “Day In Time” on Friday and “Donkey Hotel” on Saturday. In addition to the plethora of original material played throughout the event, Domefest: Party In The Pods was also a cover-filled weekend. Not only did Pigeons put on an “Under The Covers” third set on Friday—featuring songs by everyone from Dopapod to Enrique Iglesias—the Domfest All-Stars set saw a rotating cast of musicians play classic jam vehicles like “Crosseyed And Painless”, “Boogie On Reggae Woman”, “Sand”, and more.
