Lookit that lineup!

That is impressive & they have more this week. Dave said on the radio that there would be more in 3-4 weeks. Something for everyone's different tastes.

Are we still revolting over slightly stoopid and fishbone? I haven't received instructions yet this month.

It's just going to get better.

Last year the better bands were Friday-Sunday and Thursday was sort of take it or leave it, unless you were there for the couple of String Cheese shows (that is, after Furthur/Rat Bob bailed but we don't know when they would have played).

Now with all the heavyweights I think we can expect to see much better bands early--both as in Thursday but also earlier in the day.

And now, the disappointments, whoever they may be to you, are well diluted with the good or the interesting projects--and we always need the breaks.

I think they were still planning on the country fest when a lot of these were initially booked.

Talking a lot does not equal knowing what one is talking about. :-) Plenty of folks on here have as much, or more experience with this fest as I.

It could still go either way, but I don't think there's that much room left on the lineup either way. I still think that they were planning the country fest when they booked a lot of these acts, but there was and is still time to get one or two.

Love to see Cabinet back, but they've got plenty of their own going on. Love to see Greensky again. RRE or Leftover Salmon would be cool. Larry Keel & Sam Bush again. Pretty much anything but Yonder. I don't think they're as good without Jeff. Hell, have Jeff Sipe again (I had to give him a miss in '13).

Whatever else happens, no one will have to sit through Zac Brown.

That's not really fair to coal.

Rule #1 - Listen to everything Sneake says, for he is fair and wise beyond his years (which are few, because he's still a young guy with a bright future)

I wouldn't mind seeing Ryan Adams at lockn...way long shot, but it would be pretty cool

I'm happy with out bluegrass. Even though I love seeing Del McCroury, any time, it's an interrupter when you get realistic high-nasal all acoustic grass. And I don't like real folk much either. The Americana softens the edge on bluegrass and has more depth than folk. There are plenty of opportunities for those styles.

At the same time I do not want Lockn to drift into electronica, laptop music, house or hip hop. Or screamo.

Leftover Salmon would be great and there are only 28 dots on the official line up. Last year they had 36 so there should be plenty of room for bluegrass additions. Poor Mans Whiskey would be second on my bluegrass wish list. RRE is on my bucket list, and I have wanted to see them for awhile but every time I think I'm gonna circumstances prevent it. The first time I missed them my wife broke her arm and had to have surgery and my tickets spoiled. Several other opportunities got prevented by various emergencies and problems. The last time my daughter got married with short notice.
I'm gonna see them this fall if they do Hangtown Halloween again this year.
I got sidetracked, MORE BLUEGRASS who ever it might be.

Little Feat made the grade, otherwise we'd be duking it out in the parking lot... Just kidding, but people seem to either really enjoy them or hate them. I've never seen such extremes in taste.
