Saturday at the festival is typically “Jam Day”, but 2022 brings the most eclectic and diverse lineup to date. Headlining the main stage is one of the Grateful Dead’s most proud and popular tributes: Joe Russo’s Almost Dead. Also, returning, one of the pre-eminent progressive rock bands on the scene today, moe., plus New Orleans funk, jazz and “impossible to categorize”: Galactic.

Also, appearing on the Main Stage will be Americana-Heartland Rockers: Los Lobos, plus, Nashville singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist: Gabe Dixon and his Band (14 performers on 3 stages).
SQUONK: Commissioned by The Kennedy Center: Squonk – “Hand To Hand”:
How do we explain two giant moving puppet hands, each the size of a house, with music that blows that roof completely off? Audience members, children and adults grabbing the rigging and controlling the hands and fingers. SQUONK will only be performing in Metro NY at the Great South Bay Music Fest. If you have children, (or not…) do not miss this show. Two shows daily, Saturday & Sunday.
