After pushing their 2020 event to a virtual stream, and originally shooting for a May 2021 event, organizers of the Summer Camp Music Festival have settled on the weekend of Aug. 20-22, 2021 for its Illinois gathering.

“At this time, due to the ongoing circumstances surrounding the Covid 19 pandemic, we have decided to reschedule Summer Camp Music Festival 2021 to take place over the weekend of August 20-22, 2021, with the pre-party taking place Thursday, August 19th,” reads an official statement. “We realize that Memorial Day Weekend isn’t going to be feasible at this point, and we’re excited to look towards the future and gather once again in late August to celebrate life, love, and music.”

As for its lineup, SCamp 2021 initially kept most of the artists from its canceled 2020 edition, with mainstays like moe. and Umphrey’s McGee being joined by Ween, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Billy Strings, Three6Mafia, Rezz, STS9, Tipper and more.

However, organizers are teasing a slightly altered lineup due to the schedule shift.

“Once we are able to finalize what artists are able to make the move with us, we will provide details on refunds for those patrons who are not able to make the new dates,” added officials.

Summer Camp Family,

We miss you all. We haven’t been away from you and Three Sisters Park for this long since Summer Camp Music Festival began in 2000. One thing is certain, our 20th Anniversary is going to be the best celebration we could dream of after all this time apart. It is going to be truly special.

At this time, due to the ongoing circumstances surrounding the Covid 19 pandemic, we have decided to reschedule Summer Camp Music Festival 2021 to take place over the weekend of August 20-22, 2021, with the pre-party taking place Thursday, August 19th. We realize that Memorial Day Weekend isn’t going to be feasible at this point, and we’re excited to look towards the future and gather once again in late August to celebrate life, love, and music. We are again happy to say that the vast majority of our lineup is able to move with us and join us in August for our 20th anniversary celebration. We will be releasing an updated lineup soon so stay tuned for more information on that and also details on refunds for any current ticket holders who will not be able to join us for the new dates.  

For all you SCampers who are holding tickets, we want to thank you. Your support means the world to us as we navigate these difficult times. All current tickets will be honored for the moved dates and you need to do nothing to change your tickets. And again, once we are able to finalize what artists are able to make the move with us, we will provide details on refunds for those patrons who are not able to make the new dates.

Keep your Summer Camp spirit alive, we’ll see you again…
