This will be my first MMJ show can't wait!!

Schedule will be released tomorrow even though we know MMJ will be closer on Saturday

[Clarkwork]

Awesome. That lineup Saturday is crazy.

[mahg33ta]

schedule is out.   Tough conflict for me with Foals overlapping MMJ.   I wasn't picturing anything overlapping the headliners, not to mention the band I second-most want to see that weekend.

Right there with you.  Foals was one I really wanted to see.  The schedule actually sucks the entire weekend, lots of overlapping.  Glad Strand of Oaks is at least on same stage.

Foals are amazing.  That conflict is brutal, and I feel your pain.   I'm not going to SK this year, but if I were that would be an issue (one in which MMJ would win out, but I'd hope to see the beginning of Foals' set and then sprint to MMJ).

Foals is playing a late night set on Friday Night.  They releaesed the schedule today.  That made me feel alot better

yeah that made me feel so much better.   I was actually leaning towards watching all of Foals and missing the first 30 mins of MMJ.  Blasphemous to imagine I'd ever be thinking like that, but yes I was.   but now I will go to the late night show and miss the end of Festival Foals for a full MMJ set.

Explosions in the Sky also have a late night set.  I wish I were going this year.  And I bet it won't even rain for a change..... then I'll really regret missing it.

[odelljaj]

Does any one know if these late night shows sell out?  Tix still available at doors?

[Clarkwork]

I got Foals and Explosions.  I would think they sell out fast but no clue

Some will sell out before, but most won't and you'll be able to grab tickets at the door. That said, we were shut out for Deer Tick a couple of years ago (but hoped in a cab to catch Roadkill Ghost Choir and New Madrid). Last year we went to Portugal The Man one night and Built to Spill the next night and both of those sold out pretty quickly.  Tickets  on the secondary market were super expensive.  If you see a show you want to attend I'd go ahead and buy tickets.  I picked up J Roddy for Thurs and Foals for Friday so it won't interfere with MMJ sat night.   LOTS of good options though!

The event is named after the My Morning Jacket song "Steam Engine," and on May 14, the Jim James-fronted Kentucky band will make its first-ever Shaky appearance (James played the inaugural festival in 2013 when it was held in what devolved into a mud pitbehind the Masquerade). Sweetwood has plans for "something special" to coincide with MMJ's performance.

I sure hope Sweetwood has something up his sleeve for MMJ! I was in that mudpit dancing my ass off in 45 degree rainy weather. Coldest and wettest I've ever been, but worth every freezing second!

I would hesitate to click on any links, etc.  There are some "streaming" scams out there.  If its not mentioned on the Shaky Knees website, its probably bogus.  Be careful...

EDIT: I scoured their site... no mention of a live stream.  I've also emailed them. Stay tuned.

EDIT #2: Shaky Knees responded to my email... no official streams.

Hey guys, I am going to Shaky Knees with a guy who has a extra VIP ticket for Saturday. Originally $250ish, I think he's trying to recoup half of that if possible. We could meet you outside the festival around 1PM.  You can e-mail him at flash_281@hotmail.com if interested

Here is a short blurb about last nights performance.

Cool to see that there are still journalists that have clearly never seen them perform, and listen to their awe through their words.

[NolesT8]

Hope there will be a recording of this show that pops up or any vids besides the purple rain cover. Steam Engine was insane with the confetti.

They must have edited the article because the only thing about jacket in that article is that they played.
