Merge Ahead for Upcoming Festival...

Merge Records started 20 years ago in Chapel Hill, NC with some 4-track recordings, a couple of cassette tapes, and some hand-stuffed 7" vinyl. Many singles, albums, and late nights later we're happy to be here and happy that you're still here with us!

All year we'll be celebrating the past, present, and future of Merge but this summer we're throwing a party to mark this anniversary: XX MERGE, five days of live music by Merge artists past and present in the summer heat of sunny North Carolina - July 22nd - 26th.
