Northern Natural Cidery in Kaleva, Michigan, welcomed an early‑season visit from Michigan’s own Dave Bruzza, best known for performing with the jam‑grass legends Greensky Bluegrass. Over the past few years, Dave has played three to five solo shows annually—mostly in the Midwest—and this spring’s run included Chicago’s new “Garcias” venue, Ann Arbor’s folkie listening room The Ark, and Holland’s Park Theatre before he pointed his wheels north to Kaleva.

Big-name headliners Lenny Kravitz (Friday), Sublime (Saturday), and Alanis Morissette (Sunday) led the way on the massive High Tide (the official main stage with its enormous viewing-area lawn of artificial but lush, cool grass) and Low Tide (in front of an expansive sandy beach) stages, with big 90-minute sets in front of up to 11,000 jolly souls. Other mighty 60 and 75-minute alternating performances on the High and Low Tide stages were delivered by such acclaimed performers as Train, The Beach Boys (with John Stamos), the Pretenders, Jackson Browne, Mt. Joy, Marcus King, Cake, Skip Marley, Susanna Hoffs, and Aloe Blacc.

Phish will return to Mexico for its ninth installment of “Phish: Riviera Maya”, the band’s annual destination concert vacation. Taking place January 28-31, 2026, the all-inclusive event will feature eight beachfront sets by Phish over four nights in one of the world’s most enticing locations - Mexico’s Caribbean coastline.

On Friday, May 30, 2025, the Festgarten at Wibby Brewing will come alive as the Rocky Mountain Grateful Dead Revue (RMGDR) honors two landmark achievements: Jake Wolf’s 50th birthday and two decades of RMGDR bringing the Grateful Dead’s music to Colorado. This gathering will be more than a concert—it’s a love letter to community, a celebration of serendipitous connections, and a testament to the enduring spirit of Deadhead culture.

Finally, Pearl Jam closed the main stage with a dynamic, crowd‑pleasing performance. The band fielded rare requests like “Love Boat Captain” and filled their setlist with hits from their heyday—opening with “Corduroy,” and weaving in “Daughter,” “Even Flow” (dedicated to Saints superfan Steve Gleason), “Black,” “Jeremy,” and “Yellow Ledbetter.” They also showcased newer material from last year’s Dark Matter. As tradition dictates, they wrapped up with Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” and The Who’s “Baba O’Riley,” leaving the audience energized and satisfied.
