Rochester Lilac Music Festival Announces 2022 Lineup

The Rochester Lilac Festival has announced 11 headliners set to perform free shows at the 2022 festival. This marks the return of the live music concert series since 2019 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, renowned musical acts will be performing to an estimated 500,000 visitors every day of the festival from May 6-8, May 12-15, and May 19-22. This year’s festival will highlight more than 85 musical sets over the course of the three weekends, and there will be many supporting acts throughout the day with performances from the music programs of local schools.

The featured acts of this year are of a wide variety and very exciting. On May 6, Blues Traveler will be performing. On May 7, the Zac Brown Tribute Band takes center stage. May 8 brings Driftwood to the stage and on May 12 Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears headline. Also on May 12, the Uprooted Band will be playing. Others playing include the Allman Betts tribute band, called Blue Sky Brothers, Low Cut Connie, and Seven Wonders on May 14.

More acts include Workingman’s Dead and Into The Now on May 15. Ander’s Osbourne and Jackie Green will be headlining on May 16. On May 20, Ripe and Aqueous will be taking the stage. To close out the final days of the festival, Bumpin Uglies, Big Eyed Phish, and Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad will be headlining.

Festival Organizer Jeff Springut said he is very excited to bring the festival back.

Safely bringing back our beloved free live music concert series is something that we have looked forward to since the start of the pandemic. We have a great mix this year of national and local favorites, and we’re excited to see the lawn come alive once again in 2022 while guests enjoy the performances planned by our talented lineup.
