THE CORE: H.O.R.D.E. Festival Revival

Friday, October 2, 2026

The Nowhere Bar • Athens, GA

The Dawgs take on Vandy Saturday, but Friday night we're turning downtown Athens into a full-blown '90s jam festival. One night. One stage. The entire spirit of the legendary H.O.R.D.E. tours packed into a single show.

We're bringing the songs that defined a generation: Widespread Panic, Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Blues Traveler, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, The Allman Brothers Band, Gov't Mule, Spin Doctors, and more. It's a throwback to '92 to '98, when the music was loose, adventurous, and full of possibility, back before phones and streaming, when discovery happened live, night after night.

And the players?

Some of Georgia's finest:

Josh Carson (Acoustic Workshop, Parts & Labor)

Bo Hembree (Dreams So Real, Diablo Sandwich)

Chris Queen (Allgood, Phil Keaggy, Dreams So Real)

Kevin Leahy (Bodeans, Sugarland, Shawn Mullins, Allgood, Zac Brown)

Rob Sumowski (Allgood, Billy Pilgrim, Shawn Mullins, Kevn Kinney, Brent Cobb)Bill Taylor (Tribute: A Celebration of The Allman Brothers Band, Jupiter Coyote, The Bitteroots, Wolves, Lower: R.E.M.)

Get into town early, kick off gameday weekend the right way, and relive the era that started it all. Between the hedges Saturday. Inside the H.O.R.D.E. Friday.
