Lockn' Festival is excited to announce Phil Lesh & Friends featuring Carlos Santana.  Lockn' is also announcing the full 2015 line-up and daily schedule.  The four-day festival takes place September 10-13 on the beautiful Oak Ridge and Lockn' Farms in Arrington, Virginia.

Artist collaborations continue to be the highlight of Lockn', offering once-in-a-lifetime performances that may never be seen again.  These sets are often planned and rehearsed, but because the Lockn' artists are such masters of their craft, many are spontaneous and artist initiated.
