Massachusetts’ beloved home to creatives and music lovers is back in less than one month. Levitate Music and Arts Festival returns to Marshfield on July 12 and 13 with a jam-packed psychedelic lineup. 

Indie-roots band Dispatch headlines day 1 and American Reggae band Stick Figure headlines day 2. The hidden gem of the weekend is the Levitate Foundation Songwriter Stage, which features an array of talented musicians, including Berklee College of Music’s Samantha McKaige, who is up for their Songwriter of the Year award. There is a stacked Sunday lineup of genre-blending artists: alternative psychedelic musician Still Woozy, jazz funk fusion artist Thundercat, and booming theatrical powerhouse sibling duo Lawrence top the bill. Levitate avoids the pitfalls of typical festivals by thinking outside the box. Why book American progressive roots band The Elovaters for one day when you can have them perform on both? Look forward to the swinging melodies and an easy listening atmosphere to kick off the warmest months of New England summer. 

There’s clearly a lot to hear at Levitate, but there’s a ton to see, too. Check out over 15 live and experiential artists from across the globe who came together to create murals and large scale art across the festival while enjoying music from your favorite bands. Levitate is also open to the whole family. Younger fans can enjoy kid’s zone run by Levitate Camp Counselors running the entire weekend.
