Lockn' Festival - Sept 4-7, Oak Ridge Farms, VA

[Santo]

Lockn' rounded out the week by adding Hot Tuna, Umphrey's McGee, Grateful Grass (Keller Williams, Jeff Austin, and Keith Moseley), and Grateful Gospel (another Keller Williams stint).

I'm loving this lineup. I have wanted to see Umphrey's for a while and now I will see them 3 times this summer. Twice over the 4th weekend and at Lockn.

Getting back to what Parker and Angelo were saying. I am flabbergasted by all the hate on the Facebook page. Only Hot Tuna and Keller Williams avoided the trolling. Even Umphrey's got hit hard. I thought they would have appeased some the traditional jamband crowd. You would think that people would want a diverse lineup instead of the standard festy fare.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised though, it is the internet.

Damn, this lineup is really rounding into form!

With the Wilco add, I'm starting to think maybe Petty ain't comin'. BUTTTTT, OSL is announcing their lineup today -- one that Petty is all-but-guaranteed to headline -- and I'm hoping that once that's confirmed, the Petty summer tour floodgates will open and the dates will flow like mad.

I'm still holding out hope for Petty. Both the Wilco and Petty rumors came from the same dude.

I'm also holding out hope for Petty. Seems like a legit rumor, and given that Petty hasn't announced his tour yet, maybe they're just waiting for that!

Wilco sealed the deal for me, but Tom Petty and DBT have sweetened the deal.

Some interesting additions over the weekend too. There were a couple of bluegrass acts (Cabinet and Larry Keel w/Sam Bush), a Zeppelin cover band (Bustle in Your Hedgerow), Tedeschi Trucks, and they announced Phil Lesh's Friends (Warren Haynes, Joe Russo, John Scofield, and John Medeski).

Joe Russo is the drummer for Bustle in Your Hedgerow, so he'll be one of the busy guys at Lockn'. I have not heard them before this announcement, but it looks like they put on a great show. September can't get here soon enough.

Bustle In Your Hedgerow is amazing! One of the sneaky-awesome acts on the lower-half of this bill. Last year they played at Bonnaroo until the early hours of the morning, and even brought out Brittany from Alabama Shakes to sing a couple tunes. Really looking forward to that set.

Wilco sealed the deal for me, but Tom Petty and DBT have sweetened the deal.

This is pretty much me, too. Any guesses as to who's going to play when, and when the fest will reveal this? Also, does anyone know what accommodations are like in the area (apart from camping?) Thanks.

Here is the day-by-day breakdown:



I am encountering some difficulty getting the Thursday and Friday off work, so I may book it Friday after my shift and make it down for Saturday and Sunday, which for my tastes, are the best two days of the weekend! I'm just debating whether or not to get a full Tier 1 pass right now, and eat a bit of the cost, or just hope that single-day tickets go on sale eventually. I hate how they never give details in regards to single-day sales!

[radiatortunes]

Hey, thanks very much for posting the schedule. 

I'm sort of in the same boat, I'm focussing on Sat and Sun as it would take me an entire day just to get to VA and I can't be away for too long. I don't really want to miss DBT on Fri, though. I just saw them last week and they're on fire!

Two nights of Wilco... I be jealous.
