Shakori Hills GrassRoots Festival of Music & Dance

GrassRoots Live at Shakori Hills Spring 2021

by Leave a Comment

As the world continues to confront the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to make the difficult decision to postpone our beloved full Spring Shakori Festival to the Fall, October 7-10, 2021. All previously purchased tickets will be honored then or at the next Shakori Hills GrassRoots Music Festival of your choice.

In the spirit of beginning to safely bring us all together again, however, we are very excited to announce GrassRoots Live! at Shakori Hills, a pod-based, socially-distanced, limited capacity series of one night concerts on the Meadow Stage that will begin on April 17 with Keller Williams and end on June 12 with Donna The Buffalo.

Tickets on-sale Friday, March 5 at 12 PM ET and more information can be found here!

SPRING 2019 – FULL LINEUP ANNOUNCEMENT

by 8 Comments

We are excited to announce the full lineup of performers for Spring 2019!

Our line-up is always carefully crafted to showcase national, regional, and local acts that span multiple genres. This spring Lukas Nelson and Promise of The Real will headline with their rocking Americana and country roots in what promises to be electrifying performance. We welcome back the West African and funk sounds of Diali Cissokho & Kaira Ba and our bluegrass buddies Driftwood. Local rock favorites Arson Daily almost burned down the Grove Stage last year with their high energy set so you know we had to get them back.

We have partnered with Music Maker Relief Foundation to present a special Blues Revue featuring Cool John Ferguson, Pat “Mother Blues” Cohen, and Harvey Dalton Arnold. Fans of the Squirrel Nut Zippers and old-time Swing will not want to miss Ellis Dyson and The Shambles featuring special guest Katharine Whalen.

From the Meadow Stage to the Dance Tent, and everywhere in-between, each of the 50 + performers has been thoughtfully curated to create the perfect soundtrack to your Shakori Hills GrassRoots experience.

4-Day Passes, youth tickets, and camping spots are on sale now!

Early Bird ticket rates end Thursday, February 28.

Day passes go on sale Friday, March 1.
