“Pete and (his wife, festival co-founder) Toshi both passed away a little over a year ago, but Pete’s legacy of harnessing the spirit of change through the power of song lives on at The Clearwater Festival,” reads a press release announcing the lineup.

The festival runs June 20-21 and will once again take place on the banks of the Hudson River, at Croton Point Park in Croton-On-Hudson.
