Maggie Rogers as she took the stage at Merriweather Post Pavilion

Many festival attendees came out to see Maggie Rogers, an Eastern Shore native. Rogers grew up attending concerts at Merriweather Post Pavilion and is now headlining one of its biggest annual festivals.

“I saw my first concert at this venue. It was 2006. I saw the Black Eyed Peas with Pussycat Dolls opening for them. It was steamy. I brought my Black Eyed Peas lunchbox to school the next day,” she said.

The Baltimore Banner thanks its sponsors. Become one.

Allison Kinneberg is seeing Rogers for the third time this year. “I’m a big fan of her first album. I went all the way to Red Rocks to see her, and that was a bucket list item for me!” she said as she got her hair curled inside the Conair tent.

Matt Grim, along with his friends Anna Krueger and Cerah Naccarato, also came to see Rogers. “Honestly, we’re dressed like this because in an interview Maggie said monochromatic colors were in, so we wore monochromatic colors,” he said.

“Just being able to look out into the crowd, at the way this crowd looks, it’s hard to explain. I feel really seen.”
