MerleFest has added a new batch of acts to its 2020 lineup including Melissa Etheridge, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Read, Marcus King Band and more.
The festival, an annual celebration of roots music that has been running since 1988, will be held Apr. 23-26 in Wilkesboro, N.C. “For over 30 years, one of the major factors that has built and sustained MerleFest has been the quality of the artists and performances that our guests see over the 4-day festival,” said Ted Hagaman, the festival’s director. “People truly feel that the festival is a great value and that is why music fans and families returns year after year.”
Other new additions include Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and John Cowan, who join previously-announced performers like Willie Nelson, Alison Krauss, John Prine, Billy Strings, The Jerry Douglas Band and more.
