Looking at it again, it's the same lineup each day, just in a different order... so I guess it's undecided what day(s) each band is playing.

My Morning Jacket
Paul Weller

Holy crap!  My two very favorites together!!!

[CC]

don't get your hopes up, that line-up looks really bogus to me.

i'm willing to bet my white jeep.

Ya, you're probably right - the line up does seem a little nutty, so I won't take your bet.  Plus, I'd hate to go all that way to see Ozomatli: I fucking hate Ozomatli.

My Morning Jacket
Paul Weller

Holy crap!  My two very favorites together!!!

This is what I witnessed on July 7, 2000 at the Swinging Groningen Festival in Groningen, The Netherlands, outdoor on the city's main square, the Grote Markt! And for me two favorites together as well (certainly at that time)!! And to my knowledge it's the only date where the two artists have been on the same bill!?

Wow!  I'm crazy post-gig jealous!  Two of the best lyricists living and the cafes and canals and bicycles all in one go.  Fantastic!

I don't know Groningen, but I've spent a little time in Amsterdam - I presume they're quite similar!  

Any chance for a PW link?

And, thanks for all your dedication to the music.  You're loved by many!  ;)

Well, yeah, it's much smaller, but also has the cafes, the canals and bikes ...

Any chance for a PW link?

Just send me a PM with your address details, and I dig out the CD's - it has been a while since I listened to the Paul Weller performance.

And, thanks for all your dedication to the music.  You're loved by many!  ;)

Thanks.

Please don't do that again. I kinda got my hopes up for a second  :P

[BH]

Ha!   I was going to say, somebody better change this title or Chills is going to be pissed!

[MarkW]

Nooooooooooo!  I had my weekend all planned.  Friday/Saturday MMJ/Weller/Costello, Sunday Metallica at Wembley in London.  Bollocks.

[mahgeetah]

Interesting... these dates were posted on jambase.com for a couple weeks thru yesterday, that's where I got them from.  Just checked again cause I was gonna post the link here...and poof, they're gone.  Usually JamBase is very reliable...perhaps someone from MMJ management set them straight after these postings... Sorry folks- I'm just happy there's still a chance the band will pop up at the High Sierra Music Festival again this summer (which is the same weekend as the Cactus Festival).
