The 2023 All Things Go Music Festival is set to make a grand return to the iconic Merriweather Post Pavilion in Washington, D.C. on September 30th and October 1st, boasting an impressive lineup of 32 artists performing across multiple stages. Leading up to the festival, on September 29th, the All Things Go Creator Summit 2023, Presented by Spotify EQUAL, will take place at the Eaton Hotel in Washington, DC. Remarkably, attendance for this summit is free with an RSVP.
The ATG Creator Summit 2023 is set to be a gathering of influential figures in the realms of music, entertainment, and journalism. One of the standout panels will be moderated by US Congressman Maxwell Frost, focusing on “Inspiring Action Through Music.” This panel will feature representatives from The Ally Coalition, a non-profit dedicated to supporting grassroots LGBTQ+ youth organizations, Spotify’s social impact team, and Calling All Crows, an organization that partners with musicians and fans to drive positive change through music. The discussion will delve into how music can serve as a powerful tool for democracy and advocacy.
Another noteworthy panel, moderated by NYLON Editor-In-Chief Lauren McCarthy, will explore “Harmonizing Equity” in the music industry. It will bring together visionaries from the world of streaming, non-profit pioneers, and more to examine how women are reshaping the music landscape, from the creative process to the business strategies that drive the industry forward.
In addition to these panels, there will be an intimate fireside chat featuring ATG 2023 festival artist Samia, interviewed by Pitchfork Senior Editor Anna Gaca.
The ATG Creator Summit 2023, presented by Spotify’s EQUAL program, is scheduled for September 29, 2023, at the Eaton Hotel. The event will begin at 6:30 PM EDT and conclude at 8:30 PM EDT, with doors opening at 6 PM EDT. Importantly, entrance is free for those who RSVP.
As for the festival itself, the All Things Go Music Festival 2023 is generating substantial excitement. It sold out quickly after announcing its expansion to two days at the Merriweather Post Pavilion. The lineup is distinctly women-led, with headliners like Lana Del Rey, Maggie Rogers, boygenius, and Carly Rae Jepsen gracing the stage on Saturday, September 30th, and Sunday, October 1st. The festival will also feature prominent acts like Mt. Joy, MUNA, Arlo Parks, Lizzy McAlpine, Tegan and Sara, and Fletcher, among others, across multiple stages.
Notably, due to scheduling conflicts, beabadoobee will not be performing this year, but the festival has announced an extended 90-minute set from boygenius as compensation.
The festival aims to celebrate the contributions of women in the music industry and provide a platform for diverse voices to shine. Last year’s edition of the festival was a resounding success, with headlining performances by Lorde, Mitski, and Bleachers, drawing fans from across the nation and the world.
In terms of set times, the festival has detailed schedules for both days, spanning from morning to evening, with a variety of artists performing on different stages. The gates open at 11:00 AM on both days, with headlining acts taking the stage later in the evening.
