Addison, NY — Big Shrimp, in coordination with Sage Entertainment and Moe Town, is proud to announce the inaugural Camp Scampi, a three-stage Music, Food & Arts festival set to take place August 28th–29th, 2026 at Moe Town Music Venue in Addison, New York.
Blending nationally touring acts with standout regional talent, Camp Scampi delivers a diverse, high-energy weekend rooted in jam, EDM, bluegrass, and beyond. The festival will feature two nights and four sets of Big Shrimp, alongside an impressive lineup including Spafford (2 sets), Noetika, Space Bacon, Jimkata, Tand, Muscle Tough, The Dirty Grass Players, Folkfaces, and many more.

Camp Scampi isn’t just another festival—it’s a return to form. With a mission summed up as “It’s As Shrimple As That,” the event aims to bring festivals back to their roots: community, connection, and the power of live music. No barriers. No limits. No B.S. (Big Shrimp is the only B.S. we tolerate.) There are no VIP tiers—because at Camp Scampi, everyone is a Very Important Prawn Star.
The experience spans three stages across two nights, keeping the energy flowing deep into the early hours. Main Stage performances will run until 2AM, while a Renegade EDM Stage in the campgrounds operates all weekend, highlighted by a special late-night Saturday set from Denver’s Noetika (recently performed at Red Rocks). A Side Stage will showcase regional and local acts, rounding out a lineup designed to keep things moving from start to finish.
Beyond the music, Camp Scampi leans heavily into immersive experiences. In collaboration with the beloved Phish fan community You Enjoy MyFood (YEMF), the festival will host a full slate of interactive, food-focused programming in the campgrounds. Founded by Adam Brod, YEMF gained national attention after curating fan-favorite experiences at Phish’s Mondegreen Festival, including live cooking competitions and artist-driven events. At Camp Scampi, attendees can expect similar interactive culinary programming, specialty food vendors, unique fan-participation events, and a special You Enjoy MyFood All-Stars set featuring Phish covers.
Visual art installations will be curated by Kozmik Sirkus Productions, known for their work on Big Shrimp’s annual Halloween productions, while Sonic Odyssey Productions will provide top-tier sound, lighting, and immersive visuals.
At its core, Camp Scampi is designed to feel like festivals once did—free-spirited, affordable, and community-driven. A $84.99 2-Day Pass includes full festival access and free camping. Optional add-ons include a $50 Car Camping Pass, $20 Thursday Early Entry, and a $100 RV Pass. One car camping pass per vehicle is required, and all attendees must have a 2-Day Pass. Guests are also welcome to bring their own food and beverages, with vendors available onsite.
Formed in 2024 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Big Shrimp is a high-octane progressive improvisational rock quartet blending funk, rock, and fearless exploration into a sound that’s both intricate and infectious. Featuring Jared Sage Cowen (guitar/vocals), Max Perrotti (bass/vocals), Daniel Cohen (keys/vocals), and Henry Thomas (drums/vocals), the band has quickly gained national attention and recognition on Grateful Web’s “Top 12 Upcoming Jam Bands to Watch in 2026.”
Known for their adventurous live shows and rapidly growing fanbase—The Prawn Stars—Big Shrimp has toured extensively, supported acts like Spafford and Eggy, and is currently packing venues on their 30+ date “It’s As Shrimple As That Tour” nationwide. Their latest live release, The Prawno Tapes, Vol. 3, captures highlights from a breakout touring year, while their upcoming debut studio album continues to build anticipation with the recent release of their second single, “Alcaworkholic.”
With viral traction online and a relentless touring schedule, Camp Scampi marks a major milestone in the band’s independent rise.
