Absolutely!   

I'm probably going to train it up in the AM getting there by 11:00-12:00. I'll keep you posted once I work out the details.

Oh Im so at this show.  Anyone been last yr?  WHat time do the headliners play from and to?  Im coming down from Maine.

[mahg33ta]

well, of the 4 support acts I'd most like to see, 2 are on Friday and 2 on Sunday.   Uggh.   I'm still in for Saturday of course!

Headliners typically play 90 minutes.   The setup is not ideal.   If you want to jockey for a good spot, you'll miss the other stage completely.

Thanks for the heads up.

Any idea what time the music would start on Saturday? I'm trying to decide if coming up Friday night would be better than getting to Boston around noon on Saturday.

Got my tickets for Sat.!!!  Woo Hoo!!! 

[millerjustin]

I'll be there with the Mrs. and kids - first Jacket show for the kids!

[headhunter]

got my ticket for Saturday.  Hoping the snow is all gone by then.

[CTdeadhead]

At this rate we may have to snowshoe to this show...Im just thinking Spring and Boston is Calling!

[pjfan04101]

So, if there rumors are true for a spring/summer tour, does this festival wipe out any chance of them playing Boston?  I remember hearing about how a band has to wait a specific amount of time before they can play near a city where they are playing a festival.  Or did I make that up?

[CountSA]

It's probably all we'll see in Boston if I were to guess.

[pjfan04101]

Is this a situation where MMJ and Ben Harper will play at the same time? Cause that would be a bummer.

[CTdeadhead]

I doubt that they'd play against each other.  Not sure if they even have multiple stages, can anyone verify that?  Also I bet there is a strict curfew for this show being outdoors in the city. 

I was hoping MMJ would be on the Gathering of the Vibes but they are not, too bad I'd have made the trip for that. 

[wonderfulman]

There are no overlapping sets at this festival. That's one of their selling points.

[mahg33ta]

it's 2 stages at opposite ends of the festival area, with no overlapping sets.   But, things get pretty crowded.   If you want to be up front for MMJ, you'll have to get there early and stay put, so you'll probably be listening to Ben Harper more than watching.

If you don't care about being up close, you can definitely bounce back and forth between the 2 stages and see the entire day's lineup.

So I just picked up a Saturday for this. It'll be good to see you guys again.

Does anyone have input on any of the earlier Saturday acts? I haven't heard of a bunch of them and I've never seen any of them live before.
