Join us for the official Perpetual Groove After Party!
We’re throwing down with THE CORE: A H.O.R.D.E. FESTIVAL REVIVAL — and yes, members of Perpetual Groove will be sitting in for the late-night sets!

The Core is bringing back everything we loved about the classic ’90s HORDE Festivals: Widespread Panic, Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Blues Traveler, Big Head Todd & The Monsters, The Allman Brothers Band, Gov’t Mule, Spin Doctors—basically all the stuff that made that era unforgettable.It’s a full-on trip back to when these bands were young, hungry, and blowing minds. Think ’92–’98 energy: no phones, no streaming, no responsibilities—just loud guitars, big jams, and songs that shaped a generation.

🔥 TWO SETS ALL NIGHT 🔥

SET ONE:
A big, deep, jam-heavy Dave Matthews Band tribute set.
With special guests:
• Adam Poulin — fiddle
• GnarlyG (Funk You) — sax & flute

SET TWO:
A run through the bands that defined the early-’90s H.O.R.D.E. Festivals—Panic, Blues Traveler, Gov’t Mule, Spin Doctors, Big Head Todd, The Allman Brothers Band, and more.🎸
