The Gathering of the Vibes Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary this year with a roster that would make Jerry Garcia proud. Wilco, The String Cheese Incident, Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, Greg Allman, Sharon Jones, Tedeschi Trucks Band and even Weezer, who is also celebrating the 20th anniversary of their Blue album, are all headliners in this first-round announcement.

Year after year, from New York to now Bridgeport, Connecticut, Vibes draws a big, carefree crowd of happy people (the "VibeTribe") who embrace the “life is good” philosophy. They tend to be peaceniks who celebrate positivity with abandon. The festival warmly embraces and encourages all attendees and ensures that children and teenagers alike will have a wonderful time. Deadheads of days past now attend with babies and grandkids.

Yes, this is a Grateful Dead-inspired festival. And yes, there’s plenty of that jam-band genre in the mix, not to mention folk, blues, reggae and bluegrass. But the lineup is surprisingly diverse: There’s also rock, jazz and R&B, plus some inspired, unexpected collaborations – because we all know no jam-based music festival would be complete without them.

Tickets are now available for the Bridgeport, CT fest, which will take place July 30- August 2, 2015.
