Solid Sound Festival

There are few festivals that measure up to the diverse and surprising programming that is typical of Wilco’s Solid Sound. The beloved music and arts festival returns to MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts from June 28 – 30, 2024. Today, Solid Sound announces that early bird tickets go on sale this Friday, November 3rd at noon EST here. Three-day ticket prices begin at $249 for adults and $69 for children (ages 6-12, children under 5 are free/no ticket required). Additional ticket packages are also available, with lodging options at local boutique hotels TOURISTS and the newly opened Williams Inn, details below.

Conceived by Wilco and co-produced by Higher Ground Presents, Solid Sound was inaugurated in 2010. The 2024 festival will again present Wilco as hosts and headliners and will feature an eclectic Wilco-curated lineup alongside band members’ various independent projects. From rock, jazz, indie, and hip hop artists to live falconry, stargazing workshops, and ax-throwing, Solid Sound aims to delight the curious. In addition to the expansive contemporary art galleries of MASS MoCA, which feature long-term installations by James Turrell, Laurie Anderson, Sol LeWitt, Jenny Holzer, and Anselm Kiefer, the festival includes a fully programmed comedy stage, naturalist/outdoor activities that exemplify the spirit of The Berkshires, a broad variety of family activities, local food, craft beer and cider, and more.
