The SweetWater 420 Fest has added Cage the Elephant to its 2020 lineup, but Gary Clark Jr. will no longer perform due to a scheduling conflict.

The annual event will take place April 24-26 at its usual home of Centennial Olympic Park. The festival is being staged a week later than usual because of the production logistics that will be involved with Final Four events at the park earlier in the month.

As previously reported, a reunion of Oysterhead – the supergroup of Trey Anastasio, Primus bassist Les Claypool and Police drummer Stewart Copeland – as well as the Trey Anastasio Band, will headline the fest.

Check out the poster below for the full lineup. Additions will be announced in January.

Three-day general admission tickets are $139 and three-day VIP are $403. Ticket pricing, perks and details found here.
