Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
Every year, before, during and after Lockn', the head count numbers are thrown around, all "from reliable sources" and all so wildly varied they couldn't even be averaged. Last year's rumor range was "Less than 18,000" to "over 33,000". And there is never consistency with what the number means, as far as actual attendance. If you count "sales" then a 4 day ticket is the same as a 1 day ticket, although the former would represent 4 tickets at a multi-day concert, and neither reveals how many people were there on a given day. Even the crowd size at the show field says little due to all the bodies in the campgrounds and at the concessions at any given time, even during a headliner. Like almost everyone, I'm dying to know the numbers, too, but since they are virtually unobtainable, I count the good times instead. Because they have changed the configuration three times it's hard to picture the crowd size, historically, in the mind's eye. The biggest crowd seemed to be the one moving from the main stage to the Relix stage at the end of the main stage shows!

When Furthur cancelled they had time to put together Billy's Allstars plus that was a headliner so they had to do something. Not so here.

Also, hope Duane shows up for Oteil and Friends. Saw him with Warren in Jamaica last year and he was really good.

Wrong. I have it on good standing that the Avett Bros will be doing a special Wilco tribute with Tweedy. Rumors have it that Willy and Neil will join in via Periscope for a few "special collaborations".

Yeah he's only sat in several times. Also I dont think he plays much bass either. I kinda stereotyped him because of Sr. I think.

Disappointed LockN is taking the path they are taking.. my wife and I still plan to attend this year, but imagine this will be our last LockN. This is simply a weak lineup - at premium prices. Collaborations are great, but, that is not why I buy tickets.
I expect to have plenty of room to dance this year :-)

Why not have a JK all star band doing allmans and other stuff? Or Beatles stuff? These guys know this music in and out, front to back. Everyone is already there. Could have easily put something together real quick...on the cheap too.
That said, totally love this 18’ lineup...more so than probably any other year. I just feel that if you sell tickets to a large audience and an act cancels...the promoter should feel an obligation to fill the spot the best they can.
