Levitate Music & Arts Festival reveals 2025 line-up, adds art & food twists

The Levitate Music & Arts Festival, slated for July 12-13 in Marshfield, has announced a line-up featuring returning favorites, rising stars, and local newcomers. The festival is located about an hour away from Wellesley.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, Feb. 21. One percent of each ticket sold will be contributed to the non-profit Levitate Foundation, which supports the arts in local communities.

This is a feel-good, eco-friendly festival launched in 2013 by the Levitate surf and skate fashion brand, and typically features a mix of jam, roots, reggae, blues, and pop music.

In addition to the music, Levitate features dozens of arts and craft stalls, live mural painting and skateboarding, and a wide variety of food. Patrons can bring in folding chairs to give their dancing feet a break during possibly hot weather on the Marshfield Fairgrounds. (We’ve covered the festival over the past few years as “beyond Wellesley” news.)

Headliners this time around include Stick Figure, the Revivalists, and Dispatch (we interviewed Dispatch members last year and reviewed one of their Boston shows). Also on the bill are Levitate newcomers Thundercat, Protoje, and Still Woozy, along with Levitate favorites such as the Elovators, Ripe, and Mahali.

A new feature at the 2025 festival will be the Artist Showcase, which will highlight a visual artist.

Also new will be the “Spoonfuls Culinary Experience + Lounge,” an opportunity to enjoy food and drinks from regional celebrityl chefs each evening.

As always, there are activities for families and kids at Levitate, too.
