Fitz and the Tantrums at National Life Group Do Good Fest

Montpelier, VT - (March 18, 2024) The National Life Group Do Good Fest® presents multi-platinum artists Fitz and the Tantrums, Emmy Award-winning Rachel Platten along with California alternative rock mainstays, Dishwalla, and emerging New England favorite, Couch, on the company’s back lawn on Saturday, July 13.

In its 10th anniversary and born out of the company’s “Do good, Be good and Make good” values, the National Life Group Do Good Fest has brought national acts to the back lawn of its Montpelier campus every year since 2014 (except two pandemic years) in support of issues and efforts that matter most to its communities.

Advance tickets are required. Tickets can be reserved here for a minimum donation of $5 each.

All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Branches of Hope, the cancer patient fund at Central Vermont Medical Center’s National Life Cancer Treatment Center and Howard Center, providing mental health, substance use treatment, and developmental services with many programs specific to children and youth in family, residential, educational, and community settings.

“Here we go! We are thrilled to bring our biggest and most energetic lineup yet,” said Mehran Assadi, Chairman, CEO, and President of National Life Group. “We will be back outside, welcoming thousands of friends to celebrate community with us and to DO GOOD.”

National Life is also bringing back Beats for Good, a high school music competition for Vermont students. There will be a grand prize winner as well as a first and second runner-up. The grand prize winner will open Do Good Fest and win $5,000 for their school’s music program along with a $1,000 personal cash prize. The runners-up win $2,500 and $1,000 respectively for their school’s music programs. All three winners will have exclusive backstage access to meet the local and national musicians. The public can vote for their favorite high school musicians between May 17 – 31. Winners will be announced with Mike and Mary on Star 92.9.

In addition to the music, Do Good Fest will also have food trucks, a beer garden, an exclusive VIP lounge, and a Nonprofit Village where festival attendees can learn about local causes and how they contribute to the vitality of the community. The event will be capped with the Fest’s famous fireworks display.
