The Infamous Weekend is nearly upon us! Starting Thursday, September 19 and running through Saturday, September 21 at Pop’s Farm in Martinsville, Virginia, The Infamous Stringdusters will host and headline their second weekend long music and arts festival on the farm—which some of you may know as the site of Rooster Walk, the beloved festival held annually on Memorial Day weekend. Now the home of Infamous Weekend, Pop’s Farm is poised to unleash a tidal wave of great music, wonderful people, and beautiful mountain adventures!
Boasting six sets over three nights from the Grammy winning Stringdusters, along with a dozen acts handpicked by the band, the lineup is steeped with goodness. Featuring a spread of talent that includes Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, The Lil Smokies, The Last Revel, Dangermuffin, Jon Stickley Trio, Falco & Book Play Garcia, The WIlson Springs Hotel, Isaac Haden, Florencia & The Feeling, TC Carter Band, and The Fly Birds, this lineup is poised to jam hard across a wide spectrum of genres, ranging from Americana to jazz and from rock to bluegrass.
The vibe is tailored for good timing music lovers, including local brews available for the bigger kids at heart, but Infamous Weekend is a decidedly family friendly get together, with activities such as disc golf, paddle boats, wonderful food and craft vendors. Pop’s Farm is fantastic for getting your steps in, but complimentary tram that will safely provide transportation around the event for anyone preferring to ride.
Known for its comfortable accommodations and beautiful mountain views, Pop’s Farm will be in full swing! Not only will the festival be packed with some of the best musical acts around, there will also be floats, fly fishing, guided hiking adventures, and a slew of other ways to soak in the great outdoors!
Wanna go big? Check out the VIP packages with a variety of “elite” food, a meet and greet with the band, VIP gift bags, and even a VIP liquor bar! Weekend and day passes are available now, so don’t miss out on a weekend to remember!
