No, this isn't an old thread.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Furthur, comprised of the original lineup, will headline Friday night.

This will be their only performance of the year.

Here's the official announcement from Lockn':

Furthur to headline Friday night! Exclusive to the 2014 Lockn' Festival in Arrington, VA, Furthur will be playing their only set of 2014, featuring the original lineup! This lineup of Furthur features Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Jeff Chimenti, John Kadlecik, Jay Lane, and Joe Russo! This very special performance is in addition to the previously announced separate performances by Phil Lesh & Friends, and Bob Weir & RatDog. This Furthur performance will be the only planned collaboration between Bob and Phil in 2014.

Discuss.

I love the fact that they obviously announced this as soon the deal was struck. Today's timeline of events was odd, but it culminated in an utterly surprising and completely unexpected (and totally amazing) announcement.

This was an impressive surprise. Hats off to Dave Frey and Peter Shapiro. Well done, guys, well done.

So if I read this correctly we basically 5 hours of dead music on Friday night .

Next question how many folks can this place hold? Cause if it doesn't sell out , I would be amazed. Promoters have done everything , this reminds me of bonaroo 2004, which I feel was the best lineup even though I couldn't make it

No, I think the schedule will change. I'm speculating, but I'll bet we get two Furthur sets on Friday instead of Phil and Bobby's sets.

I am also concerned about capacity. It is really hard to gauge since we only had around 25,000 last year. I'm guessing 60,000 at the very most. Of course, they could reconfigure.

Dylan, It says...

This very special performance is in addition to the previously announced separate performances by Phil Lesh & Friends, and Bob Weir & RatDog.

"in addition to the previously announced"

The earlier said Bob, then Phil and then together but whatever. I don't really care. We are going to be afloat in a sea of Dead.

Best news ever.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

25k last year. it was the perfect amount of people. crowded at the front and enough space to put up a chair in the back. the walk back at night was super fun interacting with the crowd. i could EASILY see that double or even triple this year. i have to imagine there are tens of thousands of people that beyond regret not going last year that will be there this year.

Indeed, Jeff, I saw it.

I just think they weren't very careful about their words. While it does read that way, I think they just meant that Bobby and Phil will still have their own individual sets (on Thursday and Saturday). Note that they haven't changed the schedule to include Furthur. I think that the "interlocking" set mentioned by jambands.com has evolved into a Furthur show, replacing the interlocking set.

Of course, I won't mind if I am wrong.

Double, yes I can see that but not triple. I would bet 40,000. 40,000 to match the 40,000 Headmen we will get from WSP & Steve Winwood! BOOM!

Shhhhhhhhh.... lets keep this under our hats- on the down low... a secret... yea thats it. Shut down the Message Board immediately!!
Nah, some will come and some will go but prolly a couple more folks this year overall.
I am however driving down wednesday night this year since GA camping is so far away it may as well be on the Moon. Just hoping to not have to stumble for too far after the taxi ride at 1am

Dont know about the Campgrounds but from what I saw last year of the area around the site,they could have pretty much un-limited camping.

I believe I remembered reading they have some 200+ acres. there's plenty of camping to go around

I'm really thinking about sleeping in the truck in line on Wednesday night. That's if I don't get in line right now!

I upgraded to premium camping just so it wouldn't be so far (and so far to lug stuff from the car).

This years line up is great, but so was last years. Hope that there is enough increase to have many Lockn' festivals in the future,
