The All Things Go Music Festival is set to return in 2025, marking a decade of celebrating music, diversity, and community. Known for its commitment to spotlighting women and LGBTQ+ artists, the festival has grown from a local event to a nationally recognized celebration of inclusivity and talent.
A Brief History
All Things Go began in 2006 as a music blog created by four friends passionate about sharing new music. By 2014, their enthusiasm had transformed into a full-fledged music festival in Washington, D.C., starting at Union Market before moving to larger venues like Yards Park and eventually Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. In 2024, the festival expanded to New York City, hosting events at Forest Hills Stadium.
What Sets All Things Go Apart
Unlike many mainstream festivals, All Things Go is celebrated for its commitment to inclusivity and representation. The festival has consistently featured lineups that highlight female, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ artists, creating a space where diverse voices are amplified. Notable past performers include Billie Eilish, Maggie Rogers, Lana Del Rey, and boygenius.
What to Expect in 2025
The 2025 edition of All Things Go is scheduled for September 26–28, with events in both Columbia, MD, and New York City. While the lineup has yet to be announced, anticipation is high based on the festival’s history of curating exceptional talent. Presale registration for the DC event opens on April 15, and for NYC on April 22.
