This year’s All Good Music Festival line-up may be its most stacked yet. Phil Lesh and Bob Weir will bring their Furthur project to the event which returns to Marvin’s Mountaintop in Masontown, WV on July 8-11. Widespread Panic also has signed on for the event, with an initial roster that also includes: Umphrey’s McGee, Yonder Mountain String Band, Dark Star Orchestra, George Clinton & Parliament/Funkadelic, Lotus, Femi Kuti & the Positive Force, Rebelution, Railroad Earth, The New Deal, Perpetual Groove, Cornmeal, Fort Knox Five and The Macpodz. One of the festival’s hallmarks is the decision not to overlap any of its musical performances, with more than 40 hours pledged to attendees. Additional artists will still be announced, with tickets on sale this Friday, February 19.

I would like to inject a bit of the diwdsone just so folks attending will go with both eyes open do NOT bring your children to this festival. In addition to the wonderful music and yoga, there were also three deaths. I’d stake my next paycheck that, in addition to extreme heat, they were the result of copious amounts of drugs. I’m not just talking a little pot either. I’m talking young people rolling their faces off on Ecstasy and walking around with signs requesting doses’ or shrooms.’ Gone are the days of moderate drug use it’s as much as you can get as often as you can get it and you don’t much care if you don’t make it to the music concerts because you got too high to make the walk down. Though I saw some amazing music, I will be thinking twice about attending next year.
