ROOTWIRE 2012

Each year, an otherworldly event descends upon the gorgeous woodlands of the Appalachian foothills. Rootwire 2012 will be a culmination of our collective vision, a synchronistic gathering of epic proportions. What is Rootwire? Simply an environment designed from the ground up to inspire and enlighten, created entirely by those in attendance. It is an attempt to re-instill the values of the original psychedelic movement to transform society. Also, to banish the pitfalls of today\'s modern music festivals, which are funded by corporations, and designed solely for profit.

Rootwire 2k12 will feature the live music, visual and performance art of the nation\'s greatest visionary masters. Three stages, massive circus tent, visionary art gallery, art installations, guided meditations, yoga and ceremonies, forums and live speakers, film viewings, woodland lighting, wooded camping, workshops and lessons and much, much more.

It has been said time and time again: Rootwire is the ideal festival. But don\'t take it from us - ask someone who has attended and they will surely tell you this is the one not to miss!

We invite you to be yourself. All are welcome. Come home to Rootwire.

We are pleased to announce our first round of artists.

This includes musical and visual artists and there are many more to come as the festival approaches so stay tuned!
