Today marks the unveiling of SweetWater 420 Fest’s initial 2018 lineup, with headliners Umphrey’s McGee, Tedeschi Trucks Band and Sturgill Simpson leading the way.
The Atlanta, Ga. festival’s 14th iteration will also feature performances from Vulfpeck, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Stick Figure, Papadosio, The Record Company, Anders Osborne, Spafford, Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, and Southern Avenue, among others, with upwards of 30 more acts to be announced in January. Like at last year’s 420 Fest, which featured four performances from Widespread Panic and two from the Trey Anastasio Band, the SweetWater team is delivering the jam-band goods in 2018, as Umphrey’s McGee will play two sets.
“The 14th SweetWater 420 Fest is well underway, and the SweetWater Brew team and I are working closely to make this Fest the best one yet!” said Jennifer Bensch, president of Happy Ending Productions, in a statement. “Our patrons enjoyed the double set format of our jam band headliners at last 420 Fest so we are sticking with this again this year.”
