Any Festival Date Rumors?

[beardedwonder]

June is indeed a fickle month. The lineups always look impressive. My wife goes to Woodstock NY at least once per summer. I think we would make that a joint trip and likely go 1 or 2 days only to the Jam.

I am really hoping for a return of the Life is Good Festival here in MA.

Shaky Knees lineup will be announced this coming Monday (1/11). I've said it for a while .... in my opinion better than 50 percent odds MMJ headlines this. Festival creator is a huge Jacket fan, named the festival after a song for crying out loud, and it hasn't worked out in them coming (Jim was at the inaugural fest three years ago solo) yet. I think they're in for ATL in April.

JazzFest lineup announcement should be either that same day or Tuesday. Haven't gotten as good a feel about MMJ in NO, but it's certainly a possibility. We'll see next week.

Isn't Sasquatch! the same weekend as Red Rocks? Hard to believe they would play Friday-Saturday-Sunday at venues 1000 miles apart...

na sasquath is the weekend before.. so the timing actually makes sense.

According to the ticket sale page for Sas. it's the same weekend as RR...so maybe next year?

Yes, Sasquatch is always Memorial Day weekend. Planes exist, so who knows...they could play both there and RR.

Hoping for Shaky Knees... got a pretty big Jacket contingent heading down for that!

[oistheone]

Hoping wherever they end up playing (ATL or NO or both) that they schedule a few dates in and around the area leading up to or after the festival appearances!

Take it for what it's worth, but the JazzFest lineup apparently leaked today. To call it massive would be a serious understatement.

We'll find out next week if this is legit!

[Bulldog]

Holy crap, if thats legit, its HUGE never seen a line up quite like that.

Unfortunately when they do announce jazz fest lineup they still won't say which bands are playing which weekend. That info comes weeks later.

[mattsiu02]

MMJ is rumored to be Friday night headliner, 2nd weekend of Jazzfest. They announce which weekend bands are playing, just not time slots, when they announce the lineup.

Hate to rain on a parade but i think its fake.. Bob Seger is already confirmed and not on this list.

[oistheone]

I think ol' Seger just got confused. He has confirmed he will not be playing JazzFest this year after all.

As crazy as this "leaked" lineup is, I have every reason to believe it's legit.

[stillwater]

Oh man- If MMJ, Pearl Jam and Neil are the same weekend...

[sabretoothcowboy]

Bummer. What is that like the first time? That's like their fest! The one year I may go.

[Cameron]

Heard pj and Neil are week 1.

[stillwater]

Are we sure MMJ is Wknd 2?

[oistheone]

Are we sure MMJ is Wknd 2?

Yes. April 29th.

[oistheone]

Heard pj and Neil are week 1.

That would be amazing!! Hoping it's true. I've heard wildly conflicting reports on which weekend Neil will be at the Fair Grounds this year.
