Lockn’ Festival

LOCKN’ Festival was a music festival held at Oak Ridge Farm in Arrington, Virginia, and was known for its jam bands, improvisational performances, collaborations, camping, and community atmosphere. The festival began in 2013 under the name Interlocken Music Festival and became known as LOCKN’ Festival. Its inaugural event took place from September 5 to 8, 2013, and attracted nearly 25,000 fans.

The festival celebrated its seventh year in 2019, with performances taking place from August 22 to 25. The 2019 event featured artists including Trey Anastasio Band, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Bob Weir and Wolf Bros, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Gary Clark Jr., Vulfpeck, and Joe Russo’s Almost Dead.

Lockn’ Festival in 2026

The original LOCKN’ Festival is best treated as a historical festival in this article rather than an ongoing annual four-day event. The LOCKN’ site continues to reference the festival’s history, while the Oak Ridge Farm/LOCKN’ property is hosting Valley of the Seven Stars in 2026.

Valley of the Seven Stars is scheduled for October 9–11, 2026, at LOCKN’ and Oak Ridge Farm in Arrington, Virginia. The 2026 event is a three-day festival with a different musical lineup from the original LOCKN’ format.

Therefore, the 2019 schedule below should be understood as a record of the seventh LOCKN’ Festival rather than a current festival schedule.
