I know somebody mentioned Jazz Fest, not sure if there is a buzz about having the boys back on the farm, or Coachella or smaller fests like Mountain Jam, Electric Forest, Peach fest etc.
Appears that some folks around here have inside info and was hoping they could share their wealth of knowledge.

My buddies and I do a festival every year, its usually Roo, but are strongly considering the GnR reunion at Coachella.. A MMJ addition elsewhere would definitly shift the vote... but unfortunately we need to figure out Coachella sooner rather than later.

I have no sources or insider info here, but generally speaking Roo doesn't tend to have bands back to back year, especially on the level of MMJ being almost a headliner (opened for the main Saturday headliner last year).  That being said, I would give anything to see MMJ back on the farm this year!!  In regards to other fests though I don't know enough to speculate.

i'm not seeing this anywhere, how do you know? Coachella usually doesnt announce their lineup until a few weeks before the actual fest.

different strokes I guess, GnR was my favorite band from the 90's and i love Axl's voice... or what it once was.

Coachella announcement was in January last year so it should be soon for 2016.

Coachella lineup is out now. IMHO a complete dog poop lineup headlined by the Kings of dog poop (GnR).

some get stoned, some get strange, sooner or later it all gets real.

The two Meccas of concert venues, RR and the Gorge, both have eluded me thus far. But 2016 I will be at MMJ RR and now maybe the Gorge. Oh man.  :drum:

Isn't Sasquatch! the same weekend as Red Rocks? Hard to believe they would play Friday-Saturday-Sunday at venues 1000 miles apart...
I'm in love with this soul; it's a meaning that I understand

I have been to the Gorge probably 15+ times, I'll take RR every day!  The Gorge can, at times, be excruciatingly hot.  When the sun does set over the Columbia River though, it's a pretty magical place.


pssst, please play High Sierra MMJ!

They closed Mnt Jam i believe in 2012, great show.. I love Mountain Jam because its 2 hours from my house, I hate Mountain Jam because it always rains and it is always FREEZING

beardedwonder

I have not been. It's a 3 hour trip for us but we usually just do Newport Folk which always quenches our summer festival thirst.

Its a great fest, well run.. Warren usually puts a great line up together, and shows go very late which I love. Its always a must see Mule set if you're a fan of that band. Camping on the mountain can be brutal, always on a slope, the hike up and down can be tiring and like I mentioned the weather is always cold and rainy, I wish they did it in July instead of June. If your tent/clothes get soaked you're in for a pretty miserable weekend.
