As we do every five years, Merge Records will celebrate its birthday with a summer music festival in North Carolina. MRG30 will take place July 24–27 with an amazing line-up of more than 30 bands that celebrate the best of Merge, both present and future!
If you missed out on 4-day passes for MRG30 which sold out in record time, you’ll have the opportunity to buy single-day tickets this Friday, February 22, at 10am ET. Below are the details we are currently able to share about the venues and line-ups.
We’ll share additional information in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, set your alarms for Friday morning! Note that single-day ticket quantities are very limited due to venue capacity and are likely to sell out quickly.
Tickets for all shows on sale Friday, February 22, at 10am ET. Artists listed alphabetically; all venues are all-ages.
