We’re Going All In, Baby!
Last year, Daniel had the opportunity to check out ALL IN Festival and this year, the festival is back for its second year in action! Indy Festival Partners in association with the Indiana State Fairgrounds are proud to unveil an exciting lineup along with additional details for the second edition of the ALL IN Music & Arts Festival, set for Saturday, Sept. 9 and Sunday, Sept. 10, 2023 in Indianapolis. Looking like a damn good time! Last year was the first time the festival took place and they’re back and better than ever. The festival boasts an intimate capacity and comfortable amenities that allow for a truly special experience for attendees, with an emphasis on dazzling performers.
The first wave of the artist lineup for 2023 includes Trey Anastasio & Classic TAB, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Umphrey’s McGee including a Led Zeppelin Dreamset featuring Jason Bonham, Greensky Bluegrass, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Cory Wong, The Main Squeeze, Andy Frasco and The U.N., Neighbor, Eggy, Karina Rykman, Hyryder and more that will be announced in the coming weeks. ALL IN marks the only scheduled Indiana appearance in 2023 for Trey Anastasio with Phish not playing Indy this year. ALL IN will also mark the first time Joe Russo’s Almost Dead has played the market. ALL IN will also continue its beloved signature tradition of exclusive live collaborations known as Dreamsets. The 2023 event will feature Dreamsets that celebrate the music of both Led Zeppelin and The Beatles.
While last year was a smashing success, this year ALL IN is truly unique, and boutique, with a very limited capacity for more than 7,200 festivalgoers. All headline performances will take place inside the air-conditioned Indiana Farmers Coliseum, which all but eliminates the chance of rain interruption. Sounds fantastic, that’s for sure! The setup features GA seats in the stands, and standing room access on the floor for all attendees. The outdoor Main Street Stage will have bleacher seating and standing room available. ALL IN offers the best of both worlds with the epic arena rock feel inside the coliseum and a great outdoor experience that allows two different environments, a major rarity for a multi-artist festival event.

ALL IN will also offer select ticket packages with added access at varying levels including Gold VIP, Platinum VIP, Car+Tent Camping and RV Camping packages. A limited number of Early Bird 2-Day General Admission tickets will be offered until they sell out.

“The 2022 debut was a celebration of music and community and I am proud to help bring this annual event to my hometown and watch it grow for the state of Indiana and beyond. A splendid time is guaranteed for all,” said ALL IN Music & Arts Festival co-founder Steve Sybesma.
The location of ALL IN festival at Indiana State Fairgrounds offers festival goers tons of amenities not available at other festivals including both an indoor and outdoor stage, easy entry and access for parking, comfortable seating and ample clean permanent restroom facilities for all attendees – no porta-potties and no need to wait in long lines. All IN also offers free water refill stations.
The Indiana State Fairgrounds and Event Center is located in the heart of Indianapolis between downtown, Broad Ripple and Indy’s bustling northside. The two-day event will once again combine elements of Hoosier culture and reflect Indiana’s extraordinary hospitality and diversity where you can enjoy great food & drink and world class music. All IN will feature a wide selection of premium, local food and beverages, a giant beer garden with local craft breweries, beer stations, cocktail bars, and the refreshing ALL IN Signature Cocktail. Sounds like a win!
The festival connects artists and fans through shared moments of inspiration and is proud to present a showcase of musicians that champion positivity and connection. In addition to ALL IN’s formidable headliners, there are other exceptional artists, all performing on two stages.
While there are tons of things that make this festival unique, there is one thing in particular that stands out from other festivals- the ALL IN Dreamsets. These are epic celebrations of iconic songs featuring world class artists, very special guests and surprises. The festival’s 2023 Led Zeppelin Dreamset will feature Umphrey’s McGee performing with Jason Bonham and others. The Beatles Dreamset will celebrate history by recreating the full setlist from The Beatles performance at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in 1964 and more. Wow- sounds truly amazing!
Dreamsets are the once-in-a-lifetime musical experiences that festival dreams are made of. I can’t word that any better! These sets are a major focus and the ALL IN team works closely with the artists to create something wildly ambitious with the aim of making musical history. You can ONLY catch them here! The Dreamsets are produced by Paul Peck who is known for his famous Bonnaroo Superjams and his PoWows at the Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival. Peck also helped launch Outside Lands and Bonnaroo and along with Sybesma co-founded Okeechobee.
