The schedule for the 2018 edition of the Sweetwater 420 Festival is here and once again it’s a fantastic line up. This year’s festival returns again to downtown Atlanta’s Centennial Park for 3 days of music the weekend of April 20th through the 22nd. This year’s headliners include 2 sets from The String Cheese Incident on Friday, the Tedeschi Trucks Band on Saturday and 2 sets worth of music with Umphrey’s McGee on Sunday.
Other notable standouts for the festival’s 14th year include Sturgill Simpson, Anders Osborne, Ghostland Observatory, Tauk, Marco Benevento, The Infamous Stringdusters, Greensky Bluegrass and Vulfpeck. There is also Atlanta’s own the Quaildogs playing Sunday at 2:30pm, who always put on a good set! It’s a diverse lineup that should provide entertainment for any living human soul.
Although there’s a ton of great bands to see make sure to walk around the grounds of the festival to catch some comedy, sample some special Sweetwater brews, do a little shopping at the Artists Market and grab something to eat from of the large variety of food trucks that will be on site. Don’t forget to check out the Sweetwater Experience Tent where there will be different events throughout each day including “Morning Brew” with different artists, Live podcasts, Beer and Cheese Tastings, Cooking demos, Live Auctions, Trivia and more.
