So I jumped the gun. e-mail says more announcements next week.

I wonder if Wilco will be next add. Only band left after the Winwood news broke.

i'll be very sad if ttb doesnt play at least one night

neil could pull a warren and play with both his bands separately on the same day, then have a collaboration later that night... just sayin..

Love your theory Dylan.  CSN and NYCH, allowing some CSN&Y.  That would be worth the ticket price by it's self. Fingers crossed.

 I could totally see this happening. CS&N setting in on NY&CH & Neil setting in with CS&N. probably only a couple of songs but well worth it. Only thing is the three times I have seen them together it seems like Stills is uneasy while Neil is wailing away on his guitar. Takes away from his lime light. But totally in to this.

Hey, just going to let everyone know that I got word that Acoustic Hot Tuna will "probably" be playing Lockn' this year. This came from Jorma himself, so I assume he's been in talks about reappearing. He said that he really enjoyed playing last year.

Alright, time for final predictions.

I'm going to assume they revert to the format used for the initial announcement - one band per day, for five days.

Monday: Wilco
Tuesday: Medeski, Martin, and Wood
Wednesday: The Word
Thursday: Crosby, Stills, and Nash
Friday: Neil Young and Crazy Horse

Although I have little evidence to support this, I know The Word has been tinkering with a new album over the last year. Robert Randolph has been doing a ton of stuff with Brooklyn Bowl lately, so we know there's a relationship between him and the promoters.
I've said it before, but using one of the stages for Robert Randolph and the Family Band, North Mississippi Allstars, Medeski Martin and Wood, and the Word just makes a lot of sense for Lockn'. (You could even throw The Wood Brothers in there as well)

My other predictions are grounded in rumor and/or existing tour dates. It is worth noting that NYCH have had a lot of shows trickle out in the last month. All of them are overseas, but they should be back in the US by September. I am mentally prepared for the possibility they aren't on the lineup, but I'm very optimistic that it will happen.

Thanks Coldcruise on the Hot Tuna tip. Sounds good. Last time I saw them, they had their own set & later that night they came out with Warren Haynes for a few tunes. Good stuff. Hope to get more of that.

Good find & welcome to the board. You may have just found some of this weeks additions. They also have a article that the Allman Brothers are playing on Sunday the 7th. They Have WSP on 4th, 5th & 6th & SCI on the 4th & 5th.
