That was All Good then, This is All Good Now
Embracing the Community, Spirit, and Timeless Vibe that Defined a Generation
All Good Now Lineup Released
Merriweather Post Pavilion, Maryland — June 14-15, 2025
Ten years later, All Good Music Festival is being reimagined as All Good Now, and set for June 14-15, 2025 at the iconic Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. All Good Now blends the legacy of the original festival with an iconic venue and an exciting lineup, capturing the timeless energy that brought thousands together for nearly two decades.
The official All Good Now lineup is a carefully curated mix of bands from All Good’s past and present. Returning artists from the original lineup include Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, The String Cheese Incident, The Disco Biscuits, moe., Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Keller Williams, and The Bridge. They are joined by today’s standout acts, including Goose, Lawrence, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, Neal Francis, Dogs in a Pile, and Eggy, promising a celebration that spans the full evolution of the jam band and grassroots music scenes.
“All Good coming back feels like home,” says Kenny Liner of The Bridge. “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 reflects, “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. Thanks, Tim Walther.”
“We were just kids when we were playing All Good’s initial years in Wilmer Park,” adds 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!”
In the days leading up to the festival, All Good Presents will host a series of All Good Now Pre-Parties at popular venues across Baltimore and Washington, D.C. These pre-parties 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 at beloved venues including The Anthem, 9:30 Club, The Atlantis, and The 8×10.
Set within the scenic Symphony Woods, Merriweather Post Pavilion has hosted the biggest names in live music, including Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Phish, and countless others. Merriweather has hosted 150 festivals, from Lilith Fair to Virgin Mobile’s FreeFest to Warped Tour to All Things Go. Known for its 40-acre natural oasis, Merriweather is a historic hub for music lovers, conveniently located between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., offering one of the best festival environments in the country.
“It’s really funny because we are too young to have ever experienced All Good as fans or to perform there,” shares Ross Peterzell of Dogs in a Pile. “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.”
Jake Brownstein of Eggy offers a more personal reflection: “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.”
Greg Ormont of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong sums up the festival’s legacy: “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!”
Neal Francis keeps it short and sweet: “Stoked to be involved in its big comeback! Let’s rip!”
Following extensive renovations in 2017, Merriweather now features an elevated SkyLawn, a new roof raised 20 feet with integrated solar panels powering much of the production, and The Chrysalis—an architectural marvel serving as a second stage located within Symphony Woods, allowing All Good Now to present its signature programming with no overlapping sets. Visitors will also enjoy unique offerings such as the Symphony Woods Shakedown, a historic pinball arcade, the Legends Sculpture Garden honoring artists like Willie Nelson, Miles Davis, and Tina Turner, and a walking tour celebrating the venue’s rich legacy.
For nearly three decades, All Good Presents has fostered the growth of the jam band scene bybringing artists to local clubs and venues year-round, creating a cycle where emerging talent moves from club stages to major festival lineups and back again. With the support from their friends at I.M.P., All Good Presents is privileged to work with world-renowned venues like Merriweather Post Pavilion, The Anthem, 9:30 Club, and The Atlantis to bring the best live music experiences to fans.
All Good Now represents the next evolution, bringing the All Good spirit to these iconic stages, and particularly to the historic Merriweather Post Pavilion, where fans will feel the magic and memories of past festivals reborn in a new, vibrant format.
Tickets for All Good Now, along with hotel packages, VIP options, and full ticketing packages, will go on sale Friday, November 22.
