Jason Isbell’s ShoalsFest announces 2021 lineup (Drive-By Truckers, Lucinda Williams, more)

After holding its first year in 2019, Jason Isbell is bringing ShoalsFest back to his native Alabama in October for its second year. It happens on October 2 and 3 in McFarland Park and Jason headlines both days with The 400 Unit. The lineup also includes Lucinda Williams, Candi Staton, Amanda Shires, Cedric Burnside, and Farmer Jason on Saturday, and Drive-By Truckers, Centro-Matic, Slobberbone, Pine Hill Haints and Farmer Jason on Sunday.

"We had a whole lot of fun in 2019, so we’re excited to get back to McFarland Park," Isbell says. "It’s the perfect place to enjoy world-class artists and the beauty of the Singing River. These acts are all personal favorites of ours, and we’re proud to bring them to our hometown and show them a good time."

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 11 at 10 AM CT.

Meanwhile, Jason and The 400 Unit will be on tour starting in the summer and running through 2022, including dates with Lucinda Williams, Joy Oladokun, Brothers Osborne, Rob Aldridge, Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives, Brittney Spencer, S.G.
