Son Volt

Wildwood Revival, the Americana-focused music festival that takes place at Cloverleaf Farm in Arnoldsville, just outside Athens, has announced some of the musicians who will perform at this year’s event, happening Sept. 27–29.

Those performers include Lucinda Williams, the roots-rock legend who most recently released the critically acclaimed The Ghosts of Highway 20 in 2016, as well as alt-country godfathers Son Volt. The long-running Uncle Tupelo offshoot, led by songwriter Jay Farrar, dropped the politically charged Union earlier this year.

Other groups slated to appear at the bucolic fest include Mandolin Orange, Shovels and Rope, Langhorne Slim, Rebirth Brass Band and Charley Crockett. More performers are yet to be announced, per the festival website.

General admission three-day tickets are on sale now for $92. No single-day passes are available.
