All Good Now To Sit Out 2027: ‘The Lineup Was Not Developing To Our Standards’

All Good Presents has put plans for a third All Good Now at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland on hold. Founder Tim Walther explained that organizers opted to skip 2027 rather than move forward with a lineup that fell short of their expectations.

“We take the curating of our festivals very seriously. We meticulously program our festivals from the headliner down to the first act of the day with the intention of building the most epic lineup possible based on emerging, established and genre busting artists,” Walther said in a statement. “Transparently, the lineup was not developing to our standards this year, so we have decided to pause Now and return when all of the stars are in alignment.”

All Good Now debuted in 2025, reviving the All Good name at Merriweather after 18 editions of the original All Good Music Festival & Campout. A second installment followed in June 2026. While Walther expressed an intention to return to the venue, no date has been announced.

“We understand that many may be disappointed, but this scene is flourishing, the fans are as loyal and feverish as ever and the right time will come for All Good Presents to bring that festival energy back to Merriweather Post,” Walther added.

The promoter’s other two festivals will proceed in 2027. 4848 Festival returns to Snowshoe Mountain Resort in Snowshoe, West Virginia July 15 – 17 for its eighth edition. The lineup will be announced on Friday, December 4, with tickets going on sale Friday, December 11.

All Good Presents also recently announced the lineup for Dark Star Jubilee, which takes place May 28–30 at Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio. Dark Star Orchestra will host the festival’s 14th edition and perform all three nights. Early bird tickets go on sale tomorrow, Friday, November 13 at 10 a.m. ET..
