Northlands, formerly known as Drive-In Live, is incredibly excited to announce that they will be returning for a second season. The first round of the series will be announced in mid-March, with performances kicking off in May.

“Drive-In Live was born out of the need to keep the music going in New England during the pandemic,“ said Seth McNally, Executive Director of Northlands. “Last year was about getting through it, and putting unemployed folks back to work. We’re here; we’ve grown up; and we’re here to stay.”

Located just over the Massachusetts border, Northlands will present shows from May to September in the beautiful setting of Cheshire Fairgrounds in Swanzey, New Hampshire. One of the major changes taking place in 2021 will be bringing the experience closer to a true concert. Instead of parking spots for vehicles, all attendees will now be in ‘pods.’ Each ticket purchase will be for a 10’ x 10’ pod for up to five people. A sixth person may be added for an additional fee. All pods are spaced at least six feet apart to meet CDC guidelines. Attendees will park in adjacent lots and then walk to one of two audience entrances.

“One of our biggest goals in 2021 is about scaling our production up,” said Mike Chadinha, Northlands Director of Operations. “Bigger stage, bigger video screens, improved sound system and lighting are all in the works for this upcoming year. The ‘pods’ system has allowed us to increase our capacity, which means we’ll not only be able to present bigger national artists, but also be able to provide more job opportunities for people in the local area. We wouldn’t be able to do this without the support of our community, so we’re more than happy to give back by adding more jobs and welcoming local vendors.”

Additionally, a beer garden is being planned for 2021, as well as inviting local food trucks to serve an eclectic mix of handmade, local food and snacks. With the implementation of the pods system, new policies have been created regarding bags, alcohol, allowed/prohibited items, and general security. All guidelines set by the State of New Hampshire will be strictly enforced.

Northlands, formerly known as Drive-In Live, has announced another round of performances as its concert calendar for 2021 fills up. All performances begin at 6:30pm with gates opening at 5:00pm.

The men of Umphrey’s McGee—Brendan Bayliss [guitar, vocals], Jake Cinninger [guitar, vocals], Joel Cummins [keyboards, piano, vocals], Andy Farag [percussion], Kris Myers [drums, vocals], and Ryan Stasik [bass]—know just how to communicate with each other on stage and in the studio.

Northlands is excited to welcome The Marshall Tucker Band this weekend on Saturday, July 10 at 6:30pm.

Led by original band member and lead vocalist Doug Gray, The Marshall Tucker Band came together as a young, hungry, and quite driven six-piece outfit in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1972, having duly baptized themselves with the name of a blind piano tuner after they found it inscribed on a key to their original rehearsal space—and they’ve been in tune with tearing it up on live stages both big and small all across the globe ever since. Gray is joined by B.B. Borden (drums), Ryan Ware (bass/vocals), Marcus James Henderson (keyboards/saxophone/flute/vocals), Chris Hicks (guitar/vocals), and Rick Willis (guitar/vocals). The Shana Stack Band, a local group from Keene, NH, will be opening.

With federal, state, and local health & safety guidelines changing daily, the venue is continuing to modify its ‘hybrid’ seating. Single ticket general admission is available for all shows. 2-person, 3-person, and 5-person socially-distanced pods are available for purchase for most performances. All attendees will park in adjacent lots and then walk to one of two audience entrances.

Next weekend, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong and The Machine Performs Pink Floyd will take to the Northlands stage on Friday and Saturday respectively, both at 6:30pm.

Other Northlands announced performances include Umphrey’s McGee (7/23 & 7/24), Get The Led Out (7/31), Disco Biscuits (8/20 & 8/21), and Lee Brice (8/29).

Northlands is excited to welcome Umphrey’s McGee this weekend for two epic performances, playing on Friday and Saturday, both at 6:30PM. 

The music of Umphrey's McGee unfolds like an unpredictable conversation between longtime friends. Its six participants—Brendan Bayliss (guitar, vocals), Jake Cinninger (guitar, vocals), Joel Cummins (keyboards, piano, vocals), Andy Farag (percussion), Kris Myers (drums, vocals), and Ryan Stasik (bass)—know just how to communicate with each other on stage and in the studio. A call of progressive guitar wizardry might elicit a response of soft acoustic balladry, or a funk groove could be answered by explosive percussion. At any moment, heavy guitars can give way to heavier blues as the boys uncover the elusive nexus between jaw-dropping instrumental virtuosity and airtight song craft.

With federal, state, and local health & safety guidelines changing daily, the venue is continuing to modify its ‘hybrid’ seating. Single ticket general admission is available for all shows. 2-person, 3-person, and 5-person socially-distanced pods are available for purchase for most performances. All attendees will park in adjacent lots and then walk to one of two audience entrances.

After a packed and busy summer, Northlands will be wrapping up its second season with Lee Brice (joined by brother Lewis Brice) on Sunday, August 29 at 6:30pm. The Disco Biscuits will be performing for back-to-back nights next weekend on Friday, August 20 and Saturday, August 21st, both nights at 6:00pm.

“What a season!” said Seth McNally, Executive Director of Northlands. “2021 presented a whole new set of challenges with health and safety guidelines changing almost every day but we did what we set out to do at the beginning of the summer: bring folks back to the true concert experience as safely as possible, and a big credit to our entire team for getting that done.”

Since the start of the season, the venue has been modified to ‘hybrid’ seating. Single ticket general admission is available for all shows. 5-person pods are available for Lee Brice; with 3-person, and 5-person socially-distanced pods are available for purchase for The Disco Biscuits.

As far as 2022, plans are coming together for presenting more live music. “We’re definitely wanting to come back next summer in some form, but what that looks like is wholly contingent upon where the entertainment industry, and local government, is as far as safety protocols, guidelines and mandates,” said McNally. “Not to mention whether national level artists are able to plan viable tours in time. We are in the business of large gatherings, and it's complex to say the least. Our two main goals have always been great music and safety.”
