And year’s incredible lineup includes The 1975, Halsey, Flume, Grimes, Party Next Door, Blondie (!!!), Eagles of Death Metal, Shamir, Thundercat and Wolf Alice. This year’s “elevated concert concessions” include offerings from Spike Gjerde (Woodberry Kitchen), Nick Wiseman (DGS), Erik Bruner-Yang (Maketto), Jose Andres (PEPE Truck), Takorean, Chaia, Misfit Juicery, Luke’s Lobster and Eat Pops.

There are three types of tickets: 

  • VIP ($150): access to private viewing areas, covered pavilion VIP seating, bars, lounges, free water and private restrooms (because that’s the best thing of all at a day-long festival).
  • Pavilion ($125): covered and unassigned seating.
  • General Admission ($100): access to the lawn and first-come, first-serve pavilion seating

On Wednesday, Feb. 24, a sweetlife presale will start at 10 a.m. EST. @sweetgreen will post a code on social media for its followers to gain access to the presale tickets.

General public tickets will be available on Friday, Feb. 26, starting at 10 a.m. EST at ticketfly.com. Tickets are also on sale in person at Merriweather Post Pavilion and at  the 9:30 Club at 815 V St. NW, during normal box office hours.
