All Good Festival Reimagined: Iconic Jam Gathering Returns as ‘All Good Now’

The beloved All Good Music Festival & Campout was retired in 2016 after an 18-year run. Organizers are bringing the brand back nearly a decade later for All Good Now.

All Good Now will take place at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland on June 14 – 15, 2025. The lineup for the two-day event arrives this Friday and is expected to combine “the legacy acts that helped define the original festival with today’s hottest new artists.”

First held in 1997 at Wilmer’s Park in Brandywine, Maryland, the All Good Festival helped birth the modern festival and jam band scenes. All told, 18 outings were held spanning four states and several locations. The festival was founded out of creator Tim Walter’s desire to carry forward the spiring of the Grateful Dead following Jerry Garcia’s death.

All Good Now marks not only the return for the brand but an evolution. The event has moved from open fields to an amphitheater complete with two stages, covered pavilion, creature comforts and modern amenities.

“We invite you to join us as we bring the All Good family vibes, the music, and that unforgettable energy to Merriweather Post Pavilion,” stated founder Tim Walther. “Our lifestyles may have changed, but the spirit of music and community remains the same. Let’s revel in the past and celebrate in the present—we were All Good then, and we are All Good Now.”

Lineup and ticket info for the inaugural All Good Now lineup drops on Friday, November 15.
