Select performances from each day of the event will be streamed live online at several website platforms, including FANS.com, nugs.tv and Qello Concerts.
Among the artists whose Lockn’ performances will be streamed are Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh‘s Phil Lesh & Friends project on Saturday and Sunday. Other acts who will be featured on the webcast are Phish on Friday and Sunday; ex-Allman Brothers Band guitarist Derek Trucks‘ current group, Tedeschi Trucks Band, on Saturday; and reggae greats The Wailers on Sunday.
The live stream of Phish’s performances will be hosted exclusively by LivePhish.com.
As previously reported, Lesh will be playing with two completely different Phil Lesh & Friends lineups at the Lockn’ fest. On Saturday, the 76-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will be joined by Phish drummer Jon Fishman and keyboardist Page McConnell; Joe Russo, one-time drummer for the Dead spinoff group Furthur; and acoustic bluegrass band The Incredible Stringdusters. On Sunday, Lesh will team up with Chris Robinson Brotherhood — ex-Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson‘s current group — while acclaimed blues-rock guitarist Gary Clark Jr. will make a guest appearance.
The 2016 Lockn’ festival also will feature a performance by J. Geils Band frontman Peter Wolf on Friday, although the singer’s set isn’t on the live stream schedule.
