🎉 10 Years of Discovery: Maine’s Premiere Indie Music Celebration

Turn up the volume and clear your calendar! The 10th Annual All Roads Music Festival returns to the picturesque streets of Belfast, Maine on May 16–17, 2025. What started in 2015 as a single-venue showcase has exploded into a multi-stage, town-wide takeover that serves as the definitive launchpad for Maine’s most exciting independent talent.

From the high-energy rock of Rigometrics to the legendary storytelling of Grammy-winner Dave Gutter (performing as OystahGutt), the 2025 lineup is a curated masterpiece of over 30 bands and 120+ musicians. Whether you are a dedicated “audiophile” or a family looking for a soulful weekend getaway, All Roads offers an immersive dive into the heart of Maine’s creative economy.

🎭 The Venue Circuit: Where Belfast Finds Its Beat

The magic of All Roads lies in its venues—a walkable circuit of historic halls and quirky coastal spaces that turn the entire city into a stage:

• 🎤 The American Legion Hall: The festival’s “Main Stage” for high-octane headliners and late-night electricity.

• ⛪ First Church of Belfast: Experience the Maine Songwriters Circle (Friday, May 16 @ 6:30 PM) in a setting with soaring acoustics and 19th-century charm.
