Indie By Design. Born In Virgina.
For over 20 years, IMGoing has defined what live events should feel like in Virginia — from Iron Blossom to Point Break, from beach concerts to the Portsmouth Pavilion.
Built by Ken MacDonald and a team who believe that “indie” isn’t a genre — it’s a mindset.
Authentic. Local. Legendary.

What We Stand For
World-Class Abilities, Hometown Priorities
We unite stadium-level production, headline talent, and seamless logistics to create epic memories wrapped in Virginia spirit.
Founder Legacy & Vision
Ken MacDonald, music industry veteran, proved you can scale festivals without losing their soul. IMGoing continues that vision, blending personal touches with bold new experiences.
Memory Making Machine
We’re in the happy-memory business. We don’t sell widgets; we sell good times that become stories you’ll share for years. That only happens with a fan-first mentality, delighting crowds from arrival through encore.
Consistency In The Chaos
Live events are famously unpredictable, from weather curveballs to last-minute talent swaps. But IMGoing is, happily, the outlier. We bring corporate-grade precision and confidence to every detail while treating fans, artists, and sponsors like people, not line items. No surprises, just seamless, spectacular moments every time.
Meet the People Behind the Shows
Our team is a blend of producers, planners, talent buyers, and creatives who all share one thing in common: a love for live experiences. We’re the people you’ll find working late, fixing last-minute details, and celebrating in the crowd when it all comes together.
