The US has tons of huge music festivals like Bonnaroo, Rothbury, Lollapalooza and Coachella. What festival(s) are you planning on getting to this year? Have you heard any line-up rumors?
I am for sure planning on Rothbury. Last year with The Dead and String Cheese Incident was absolute madness. Plus all the killer late night electronic acts like Eoto, Girl Talk and Shpongle. Topping last years line-up will be a monumental challenge but im confident they can pull through.
I most likely won't be going to any festivals like that, mainly because I'm in college and money is super tight for me currently. With that being said, I'll most likely make it out to Camp Bisco in Mariaville, NY. I didn't go to Bisco this year but this was the set list:
The Disco Biscuits – All 3 Nights,
Nas & Damian Marley
STS9 (2 nights)

If it's in Upstate NY.... I'M THERE! entranced and I live in Central NY.
It sucks theres no Rothbury this year(I really wanted to go) But Nateva sounds like a really good replacement. Nateva is held in oxford, Maine from july 1st(for earlybirds) to july 4th
The lineup is really killing the Jam band scene. Only 15,000 people in ~100acres so it should be very nice. I'm excited about seeing
Futhur(phil lesh & bob weir) ON 4th OF JULY!!!
Lotus
STS9
Umphrey's McGee
Moe.
The Flaming Lips
Keller Williams
Zappa Plays Zappa
George Clinton & Parliament funkadelic
Max Creek
Pretty nice lineup so far, and there is more to come.
DUDE!!!! My friend lives in Bar Harbor, ME and my best friend is thinking about doing the mecca up there for that festival... I might have to go with him! Perhaps there should be a Electro Jams board meetup hahaha.
