All Things Go Festival

All Things Go is an annual outdoor music festival founded in 2014. It began in Washington, D.C., and over the years it has grown in size, scope, and location.

Where and when

• The main venue is now Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.

• In recent years, there’s also been an edition in New York City (Forest Hills Stadium), and upcoming edition(s) in Toronto.

• The festival usually takes place in fall (September–October).

What kind of music & vibe
All Things Go mixes genres: indie, pop, rock, electronic, hip-hop. It often highlights new artists and established names.

A distinguishing feature: the festival makes conscious efforts toward diversity, inclusion, and giving space to women artists, and to LGBTQ+ artists.

Recent and upcoming lineups
For 2025, the DC edition (at Merriweather) will run from September 26-28. Headliners include artists like Noah Kahan, Doechii, Lucy Dacus, Clairo, Kesha, The Marías among others.

Ticket tiers vary: general admission, lawn/pavilion, VIP, and some premium options. Prices depend on level.

Why people like it

• It’s seen as more than just big headliners; many attendees enjoy discovering new music.

• The festival’s setting (outdoors, mixed crowd, fairly relaxed but curated) gives a balanced experience.

• The commitment to inclusion (gender, sexual orientation, new artists) adds a sense of community.

Things to watch out for

• If you want the best views or more comfort, higher-tier ticket options are better.

• Because it’s outside and during fall, weather can vary (could get chilly or rainy).

• Travel and stay logistics matter: getting to suburban venues, parking, etc., may affect your plan.
