OLD WASHINGTON, OH — The Old Washington Music Fest is back and bigger than ever, bringing three full days of live music to Southeast Ohio from July 17–19, 2025, with an exclusive Kickoff Party on Wednesday, July 16 featuring Ohio Valley favorite Neal McCoy.
This year’s lineup features over 15 major acts including: Alabama, Big & Rich, The Band Perry, Michael Ray, Danielle Bradbery, Sammy Kershaw, Aaron Tippin, Collin Raye, David Lee Murphy, A Thousand Horses, The Bellamy Brothers, The Davisson Brothers Band, Sam L. Smith, Silver Stallion Highwaymen Tribute, Hoard & Jones, Jake Binegar and McKayla Prew.
Old Washington Music Fest is proudly BYOB, allowing festivalgoers to bring their own coolers and beverages for a laid-back, tailgate-style experience. The setup and spirit of the event will feel familiar to fans of Jamboree in the Hills — a beloved regional staple that locals still talk about and deeply miss since its final curtain call.
Festivalgoers can enjoy an open-seating lawn setup, so guests are encouraged to bring tarps and lawn chairs for prime views in front of the event’s giant mobile stage, brought in exclusively for this year’s festival. “This year’s event requires an even larger stage than last year because we have some much bigger acts,” says festival organizer Dustin Knowlton.
A new standing-room ‘Pit’ area directly in front of the stage will be available to all attendees — no special pass required. This cooler- and chair-free zone offers fans the opportunity to dance, get close to the stage, and snap unforgettable photos.
With open seating, bring-your-own drinks, and a lineup packed with country music legends, this festival is designed to recapture the magic of those unforgettable summer weekends while creating new memories for a new generation.
