Hookahville 60 will take place June 5 – 7, 2025 at Roost on the River in Newark, OH. For the first time in the festival’s history, ekoostik hookah will perform two sets on all three nights, honoring each distinct era of their music. Roost on the River is an intimate 26-acre venue with the potential to be the permanent home for Hookahville. Venue capacity is limited and tickets are expected to sell out so the promoter of the event is urging fans to secure their pre-sale tickets now.

On Thursday, June 5, ekoostik hookah will be performing two sets from the “1.0 era” (1991 – 1996, 2006 – 2009). The sets will include songs from founding member John Mullins, whose vocals will be performed by Nat Reeb. Just like the first Hookahville back in 1994, Ed McGee will play a solo acoustic set to open the show.

On Friday, June 6 Ed McGee will join ekoostik hookah for two sets from the “2.0 era” (1996 – 2006).

ekoostik hookah will play two sets on Saturday, June 7 with its current lineup to close the festival. Additional jams will be provided by Zoo Trippin’ The Whiskey Drinks, Krisb’s Midnight Railroad, Apostle Jones, and The Groovy Roots.

The first Hookahville set the stage for what has become a bi-annual tradition for 30 years. Legendary acts such as Bob Weir and Ratdog, Billy Strings, Willy Nelson, Blues Traveler, Les Claypool, Government Mule, and countless others have shared the Hookahville stage over the years. The incredible music, along with the old-school festival vibe that is inherent to Hookahville, makes it a place where long-time fans and fresh faces feel at home.

Hookahville also features a wide variety of food vendors, an array of amazing craft and art vendors, and live painting and glassblowing on display throughout the entire weekend at the festival’s Artist Village.

Hookahville 60 will honor the memory of longtime band manager and Hookahville cofounder, Jeff “Heffe” Spencer.

Three-day tickets are available now at hookahville.com, starting at just $149. For all of ekoostik hookah’s upcoming tour dates and other news, visit ekoostik.com.
