Headlining the festival is Nashville’s pop-rock group Moon Taxi. Also featured is the Durham psych-rock group Megafaun. Philadelphia's street bass Starkey leads the late-night entertainment.

Supporting acts include Charlotte hip-hop group Mr. Invisible, Minneapolis electro rockers Phantom Tails and Atlanta electronic dance band Isness, as well as a number of other acclaimed regional acts, including Today the Moon, Tomorrow The Sun; Fort Wilson Riot; Roz Raskin and The Rice Cakes; NovaKord; We Roll Like Madmen; New Madrid; Old You; and Mountain Homes.
