Beach Road Weekend music festival returns to Martha’s Vineyard for the fourth time this August, bringing an impressive lineup including folk rock band Mumford & Sons, indie artist Bon Iver, and soul singer/songwriter Leon Bridges. The three-day festival takes over Veteran’s Memorial Park in Vineyard Haven August 25-27.

Other artists in the lineup include The Head and the Heart, Alvvays, Japanese Breakfast, and Gary Clark Jr. The current lineup is available the event website, and more performers will be announced in the coming months. The festival schedule will be announced as the weekend gets closer.

“[The lineup is] the ideal blend of folk, rock, and soul that gives everyone those great beach vibes we all hope to have all summer long,” said Adam Epstein, founder and creator of Beach Road Weekend, in a press release.

Beach Road Weekend held its first festival in 2019 with headliners Grace Potter, John Fogerty, and Phil Lesh before it was canceled in 2020 and downsized in 2021 (Tedeschi Trucks headlined). Last year’s show hosted headliners Beck, the Avett Brothers, and Wilco, and was called a “monstrous success.”

The ticket presale for this year’s show starts January 23. Guests who sign up on Beach Road Weekend’s website for insider access can get first tier pricing: $275 for a three-day pass. General public tickets go on sale January 27. Last year, Beach Road sold single-day passes as the weekend approached.

The festival also offers a hotel package ticket option, including two three-day tickets and accommodations at a hotel on-island, a “premium” hotel on-island, or an off-island Hyannis hotel. Beach Road Weekend doesn’t offer on-site camping but notes that the nearby MV Family Campground offers campsites, RV sites, and cabin rentals.

In addition to General Admission tickets, the festival will sell VIP Beach Club tickets, including access to the Beach Club in front of the stage, upgraded restrooms, and shaded seating, along with Skydeck tickets, offering private bar service and special culinary offerings. Food and drink vendors will be announced at a later date.
