I’m old enough now that being told on Tuesday that I am going to cover the Northlands Music & Arts Festival on Friday feels rushed. Gone are the carefree days of the early ’00s. Back then, I went on tour with one day’s notice—without a tent.

It’s not often that jam bands grace the world-class performing-arts center in Newark, NJ, known as NJPAC. On June 17, 2025, The String Cheese Incident performed inside the stunning 2,800-capacity Prudential Hall, which bears a slight resemblance to The Met in Philadelphia, albeit considerably smaller. Not only was this their first performance at the venue, it was also their first show in the Garden State’s largest city.

Today, accomplished keyboardist, singer, songwriter, and brewmaster Kyle Hollingsworth announces his new solo album, All We Are, set for release on August 1, 2025 via SCI Fidelity Records. “This album starts with my songwriting,” Hollingsworth shares. “I’m better able to express what I’m feeling in the moment, and I keep pushing myself to explore further.”

For years, jam-rock enthusiasts could count on a summer weekend that included the All Good Festival, along with many of their favorite bands and countless mind-melting performances. That ended in 2015 after twenty years of hard work and a desire to move toward different events. Ten years later, the festival returned—rebranded as All Good Now—and boasted perhaps one of its best lineups yet.

Following last year’s historic Suwannee Hulaween - where Bob Weir performed with The String Cheese Incident for a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration - the iconic independent music festival has just announced a powerhouse, multi-genre lineup for its 12th annual edition. Set to return to its beloved home at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida, Hulaween 2025 will take place from Thursday, October 30 - Sunday, November 2, 2025.

Northlands Music and Arts Festival, the Northeast’s premier event in the Jam Scene, is set to elevate the experience once again in 2025. Starting tomorrow, fans can secure single-day tickets, offering more flexibility to enjoy the dynamic lineup across three full days. From June 13–15, 2025, Northlands will transform the idyllic Cheshire Fairgrounds in Swanzey, NH, into a mecca of music, art, and connection.

Chicago in February isn’t exactly known for its tropical vibes, but when The String Cheese Incident rolls into town, they bring enough jam-soaked heat to melt the lakefront ice. On a frigid Saturday, fans flocked to The Salt Shed—Chicago’s newly minted temple of sound perched on the bones of a former salt factory—and transformed the night into a kaleidoscopic carnival of music, lights, and borderline delirious happiness.

The String Cheese Incident is set to bring their legendary live experience to the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail, CO, for a special two-night run on Friday, August 8, and Saturday, August 9, 2025. This milestone weekend, marking 30 years since the passing of Jerry Garcia, promises to be a celebration of musical innovation, community spirit, and the boundless creativity that has defined SCI’s career.

The String Cheese Incident has announced a new run of tour dates for May 2025, marking their debut at several venues across the East Coast, Midwest, and Southern U.S. The tour will include stops at fan-favorite venues like Greenfield Lake Amphitheater in Wilmington, NC, where the band will perform two nights, as well as first-time stops such as The Amp Ballantyne in Charlotte, NC, Steelhouse Omaha in Omaha, NE, The Factory STL in Chesterfield, MO, and Brown County Music Center in Nashville, IN.

AEG Presents is thrilled to announce that the celebrated Colorado-based jam band, The String Cheese Incident, will return to the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Friday, July 18 and Saturday, July 19, 2025. Joining them for this special two-night run are acclaimed Americana trio The Wood Brothers and genre-bending guitarist Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country.
