Today, All Things Go Festival 2025 announces its 11th edition with an exciting expansion to a three-day event. Set for Friday, September 26 – Sunday, September 28, the festival returns to its iconic venues: Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD, and Forest Hills Stadium in New York. The festival has come a long way from its humble beginnings with 2014’s Fall Classic at Union Market in Washington, D.C., more than doubling in size year-over-year since 2018 to accommodate more artists, more fans, and more music. The lineup announcements for ATG 2025 are right around the corner, and tickets will be available at https://allthingsgofestival.com
In 2023, the festival expanded to two days for the first time, with Lana Del Rey, Maggie Rogers, boygenius, Carly Rae Jepsen, and more. It sold out immediately, with fans from more than half the states in the U.S. and multiple countries attending, highlighting the festival's growing international appeal and reputation. Last year’s headlining artists Janelle Monáe, Hozier, Laufey, Reneé Rapp, MUNA, Ethel Cain, and Julien Baker were joined by a slew of heavy-hitters and emerging talent, presenting the biggest lineup to date at Merriweather Post Pavilion, with 36 artists across two days and multiple stages.
Newcomers, especially, always get a warm welcome from the avid, curious, and dedicated ATG audience. All Things Go fosters a strong sense of community among attendees, creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for music lovers to come together and celebrate their shared passion. Some artists and fans have given ATG loving and cheeky nicknames, including “Gay-chella”, “All Things Gay” and “Lesbopalooza.” The upcoming year’s festival is set to be its biggest yet.

ABOUT MERRIWEATHER POST PAVILION:
Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Miles Davis, Janis Joplin, Dolly Parton, and the Grateful Dead played here! One of the few independently operated outdoor venues in the nation, Merriweather Post Pavilion is one of the world’s most beautiful and storied amphitheaters. Nestled in 40 acres of forest between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore and designed by the legendary architect Frank Gehry - best known for defying architectural conventions - the natural outdoor setting can’t be matched. Rolling Stone, Billboard, Pollstar and USA TODAY all named Merriweather in the Top Three Outdoor Music Venues in the nation, while the fantastic sound system and large video screens make this amphitheater a favorite for bands and fans alike. Recent enhancements include new concession stands, an enormous kitchen that prepares the most delectable cuisines from all over the world, the tripling of restroom facilities, a Music Pinball Arcade, a brand new 50,000 square-foot backstage (with swimming pool!), an expanded stage and elevated stagehouse, new SkyBoxes beneath a first-of-its-kind SkyLawn©, an historic sculpture garden honoring Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Jimi Hendrix, Tina Turner, Robert Plant, and Miles Davis by French anamorphic artist Bernard Pras, and the addition of The Chrysalis - an already iconic bandshell in Symphony Woods, built to host its own shows as well as accommodate Merriweather’s festivals.

ABOUT FOREST HILLS STADIUM:
Forest Hills Stadium first cemented its place in the canon of iconic American venues during the second half of the 20th century when, as the home of the U.S. Open, it hosted some of the most important tennis matches of its time. Beyond sports, the Romanesque stadium and its enviable acoustics also became known as a must-play for musical acts at the height of their fame, hosting some of the most notable concerts of the 60’s and 70’s, including The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Dylan. On the film screen, the venue’s gorgeous grounds have played an important backdrop to films and television as varied as Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train and Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tannenbaums. However, when the U.S. Open moved to a larger space in Flushing, Queens in 1977, the architecturally stunning, horseshoe-shaped stadium fell into disrepair, and its days as a venue faded. In 2013, Madison House Presents partnered with the West Side Tennis Club to rehabilitate the stadium and bring events back to this storied venue.
