The SweetWater 420 Festival is going big this year – 48 bands, a second main stage, an “up and coming” artist stage and the return of the EDM stage.
The three-day fest will take over Centennial Olympic Park April 17-19 and so far boasts a lineup including Snoop Dogg, 311, Thievery Corporation, Primus, Cage the Elephant, Slightly Stoopid, moe., Gov’t Mule and Beats and Antique. Additional acts will be announced early next year.
Festival attendees will also experience returning attractions such as The SweetWater Experience tent, live comedy acts, a local artists market, food trucks and the Planet 420 environmental and nonprofit village.
A limited number of discounted three-day general admission ($42) and three-day VIP "Big Fish" passes ($185) can be purchased through Jan. 6 at www.sweetwater420fest.com . After Jan. 6, the prices increase to $55/$75 and $225/$265, respectively.
This is the 11th annual SweetWater 420 Festival, which is being produced by Happy Ending Productions.
