Key Points:
- The All Roads Music Festival, previously held in Belfast for a decade, is expanding to Portland with two days of shows on May 15 and 16, featuring over three dozen national and local indie acts.
- Portland venues hosting the festival include the State Theatre, One Longfellow Square, Space Gallery, and several others, aiming to boost business during a traditionally slow concert period.
- The Belfast festival will continue but move to October 16 and 17, with a focus on hyper-local artists, while Portland’s version will mix local bands with larger national acts.
- Festival co-founder Meg Shorette noted the expansion was inspired by renewed energy in Maine’s music scene and venue interest in filling slow business periods.
