On Friday and Saturday August 4&5, a plethora of diverse musical acts will
come together in the soul of Vermont’s storied Northeast Kingdom for the 4th
Annual Northeast Kingdom Music Festival. From the Fela-Kuti inspired
Afrobeat of Antibalas, to the Ukrainian Gypsy mayhem of Gogol Bordello, to
the Bay Area vibe of J Boogie and Crown City Rockers, to the West African
authenticity of Toubab Krewe, the N.E.K. fest lineup is truly inspired by
the wide variety of cultural music it brings annually to the rural
hinterlands of Vermont. This makes the N.E.K. Music Festival more than just
a weekend camping festival with great music, art, poetry and theater. It is
truly a unique cultural happening, bringing world diversity through music to
a scenic and pastoral setting in the hills of Northern Vermont.
The Northeast Kingdom Music Festival brings this unique globally influenced
lineup of over 20 acts on two stages together to inspire movement and an
expanding of consciousness. Dancing is universal to cultures world-wide,
and the N.E.K. festival lineup invites one to listen and dance to a diverse
pallet of sounds from around the world. Only once a year can this be
experienced on such a grand scale in the North Country, making the Northeast
Kingdom Music Festival an event not to be missed. Many will not have heard
of some of the acts on the bill, but no one will leave unimpressed by the
incredible array of world-class talent on display…as we like to say “You’ll
never know until ya’ go!”
Tickets can be purchased in person at Pure Pop in Burlington, The Langdon
Street Café in Montpelier, or The Lake Parker Country Store in West Glover,
