Taking place at The Phipps Farm (4300 N. Meridian Road), the festival will run from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, transforming the grounds into a cosmic gathering of funk history. The P-Funk Festival will honor the full scope of funk’s past, present, and future, bringing together original players, iconic alumni, and contemporary artists carrying the funk legacy forward.
George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic will headline the event, joined by Cimafunk, 420 Funk Mob, The Baltimore Funk Foundation, Ligedelic, Kendra Foster, Secret Army, Blue Eye Extinction, and 3GP featuring, God’s Weapon, Brynse Jaxon, Starchild JR, Tra’Zae + Gorangatan, Scottie Clinton, Thurteen, Benzel Baltimore, Pvso Paid, and Young Poppi. Comedian, writer, actor, podcaster, and producer Ed Larson will serve as the festival’s MC, with a DJ set by FSQ with Chuck the Fonk, and more line-up announcements to come.
Widely regarded as the Godfather of Funk, George Clinton is a singular visionary whose influence reshaped the sound and direction of modern music, leaving an indelible mark on funk, hip-hop, rock, R&B, and beyond. His career honors include induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Grammy Salute to Music Legends, Songwriters Hall of Fame, and Hollywood Walk of Fame, as well as honorary membership in Omega Psi Phi, and an Honorary Doctor of Music degree from Berklee College of Music.
The festival also commemorates the 50th anniversary of the P-Funk Mothership, one of the most iconic symbols in live music history. Originally unveiled during the 1976 P-Funk Earth Tour, the Mothership was designed by legendary lighting and stage designer Jules Fisher and redefined concert stagecraft and Afrofuturist storytelling. Today, the original Mothership is celebrated as a cultural artifact and is featured at the Smithsonian Institution.
Don’t miss out on this celebration of music, community, history, and the unstoppable funk that changed the world. Ain’t no party like a P-Funk party.
