Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
The weather won't be much different 3 weeks earlier. Overall, a little hotter. September is a summer month here, at least the first half. Late August is hot and humid, sometimes bone-dry and sometimes daily late afternoon thundershowers (speaking of which, the east coast airline system has about a 50/50 chance of working on a summer afternoon b/c one afternoon storm knocks over all the dominoes. Book your flights to arrive before 1:00 pm). The odds of a hurricane/trop storm system are the same. They usually affect the weather for three days. Timing is everything! Still subject to odd swings like last year's cold nights or previous year's hot hot days. Please note: This forum is in no way officially associated with Lockn' Festival or its promoters.

I better look for rain boots, which I was planning to anyway, but... I have only been to the first Lockn' whereby no rain interfered. This year's Lockn will be my first return since 2013; having missed the past two, I observed with interest the coinciding weather events of course... Told myself to find boots and to consider a camper shell for the truck bed..
The almanac-daily log I've kept for years, documents sparse-detailed jottings of past years' including storm events here in central VA. During late August on a couple of occasions I found worthwhile to note:
8/20/2014 Government Mule at Innsbrook in Richmond, outdoor venue saw the show interrupted by electrical storm activity (We drove home. Others stayed, and Mule emerged post-storm to finish the show, as I recall hearing).
8/25/2015 "Surprise showers this a.m." is what I had written. We often have fairly reliable forecasters for the local scene, so to have something crop up out-of-the-blue is not typical, not from my limited point of observation.
Many, more seasoned camping-experienced folks here won't give a cuss if rain is a part of routine outdoorsy fun times, but for me it's significant to remain mindful of weather patterns, even if there's hardly such a thing as "normal" for seasonal trends anymore. I have high hopes Lockn16's "mystery lineup" will prove every bit worth applauding through rain and mud and sunburn and windburn or anything else.

*not meant to be a scientific survey. Nor did I look at the more expensive tickets to compare.
We had a view from the cheap seats for both shows last year. At Jiffy Lube the lawn is the place to be.
