LOCKN’ 2020 is here, and man this (initial) lineup absolutely rules.
This is a pretty special installment of LOCKN’ as not only will it be a massive birthday celebration for Grateful Dead legend Phil Lesh‘s 80th Birthday, but it will be the first time the festival will not be taking place at summer’s end. LOCKN’ 2020 takes place June 19-21 with a special Thursday add on show dubbed “Steal Your Thursday.” While the date may have changed, the show, as always, takes place at the sprawling Infinity Downs and Oak Ridge Farm in Arlington, Virginia.
Tickets will go on sale tomorrow, Thursday January 23 at 12 noon ET.
