Like anyone, my heart breaks a little when a festival books two artists I love at the same time, making me choose. That’s a rare occurrence, with so many festivals boasting 4-6 stages. With only two main stages who alternate turns playing and a late-night tent that only starts after the main stages close, it’s easy to catch nearly all of the artists on the lineup. Running back to camp for a snack or quick outfit change (if you’re me) has never been easier! Fewer Stages Means More Musicīooking household name artists in past years like Big Gigantic, STS9, Tipper, Clozee, Gramatik, Umphree’s McGee, Beats Antique, and even Bassnectar (yes, you read that right–I was there!), Meltdown always brings first-rate talent with a great mix of local artists. The four-day festival feels easy breezy with a smaller-sized venue /amphitheater and quick access to campsites on all sides.
GRIZ SUMMER MELTDOWN FREE
As a family-run venture, I believe them when they say this venue is a worthy option. Hey zaddy Griz whats the likelihood of a free shows for the people moment when you come up for summer meltdown. The owners created a video explaining how the new venue has all of the same perks, featuring a river (an important feature of Meltdown). The new venue is located in Snohomish, WA at Sky Meadows Park which is about an hour outside of Seattle.

Funk masters Lettuce also have a 20+ year catalogue of music to choose from and are not to be missed!Īll in all, this will be a weekend of unforgettable sets! His live sets are nothing short of epic fun. Opiuo has really honed in on his trademark electro-funk sound, creating lots of new music since I’ve seen him last in 2015. He is returning to Meltdown after performing there last in 2016. Ranging from funky fresh to dubstep and everything in between, he always puts on an epic show. Griz has been hustling the last few years and consistently creating new music. In addition to their 20+ year catalogue of music, their lights and laser show are second to none in the industry. Jamtronica legends Sound Tribe Sector Nine, or STS9, are the perfect union of jam band meets psychedelic rock meets electronica. “Funk” seems to be the overarching theme this year! I can’t wait to boogie to Griz’s saxophone and get my bluegrass fix with Greensky Bluegrass, who absolutely killed it closing the festival in 2018. At the foot of a glacier capped mountain and situated right next to a lazy river in Darrington Washington, this hidden gem is the perfect getaway for music and nature lovers.
