Jason Isbell’s ShoalsFest announces 2021 lineup (Drive-By Truckers, Lucinda Williams, more)
After holding its first year in 2019, Jason Isbell is bringing ShoalsFest back to his native Alabama in October for its second year. It happens on October 2 and 3 in McFarland Park and Jason headlines both days with The 400 Unit. The lineup also includes Lucinda Williams, Candi Staton, Amanda Shires, Cedric Burnside, and Farmer Jason on Saturday, and Drive-By Truckers, Centro-Matic, Slobberbone, Pine Hill Haints and Farmer Jason on Sunday.
“We had a whole lot of fun in 2019, so we’re excited to get back to McFarland Park,” Isbell says. “It’s the perfect place to enjoy world-class artists and the beauty of the Singing River. These acts are all personal favorites of ours, and we’re proud to bring them to our hometown and show them a good time.”
Tickets go on sale Friday, June 11 at 10 AM CT.
