MILL VALLEY, CA (February 13, 2025) – Local festival organizers behind Mill Valley Music Festival, Noise Pop Industries and The Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce, are excited to reveal the daily performance lineup as the independently-owned-and-operated weekend event returns May 10-11, bringing headliners Gary Clark Jr. and Nile Rodgers & Chic to Northern California alongside a handful of incredible music acts.
Having announced the highly-anticipated fourth anniversary lineup just last week following fervent fan demand, Mill Valley Music Festival is celebrating this year’s incredible roster of talent by releasing single-day tickets for fans, available now at MillValleyMusicFest.com.

The festival organizers are proud to be again partnering with the independently owned local venue, Sweetwater Music Hall, in support of the 2025 Mill Valley Music Festival.
“For decades upon decades, through the twists and turns within the Bay Area music scene, across a few different physical spaces, the Sweetwater Music Hall remains an absolute icon. You don’t have to conjure ‘what if these walls could talk’ because it’s baked into the fabric of the venue,” says Jim Welte, Executive Director of the Mill Valley Chamber. The Sweetwater celebrates that history, yet remains very much of the now. We’re thrilled they’re joining us again on the Sweetwater Stage at the 2025 Mill Valley Music Fest.”
