The run showers the Northeast with shows, 5 out of 11 of which are in New York state. The brief and localized nature of the tour has fans wondering if more shows will be announced for later in the summer, and if the West Coast will ever get any Furthur love.

Bonnaroo Lineup Announced!

The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival announced its 2010 lineup today via a continually updated animation on the festival’s MySpace page. A new artist was announced every six minutes between 12 Noon and 9 PM… This novel, yet extremely drawn out announcement process was not well received by the online community.

Bonnaroo MySpace Page - 2/9 9PM

This year’s biggest names are Jay-Z, DMB, Stevie Wonder, Kings of Leon, The Flaming Lips with Stardeath and White Dwarfs performing “Dark Side of the Moon”, and Weezer. This is probably the festival’s least jam-influenced set of headliners to date, but the festival still offers a few solid jamband staples, including Les Claypool, The Disco Biscuits,  and Lotus. Overall, this lineup won’t get me to Tennessee this summer, but to each his own. Bonnaroo will announce a number of additional artists in the coming months including some big names, so stay tuned!

Gov’t Mule – 1/28/10 – Nashville, TN

Gov’t Mule is currently truckin’ along, mid-way through their massive ‘By A Thread Winter 2010 Tour‘. The tour kicked off on January 20th in Fort Lauderdale, FL just 2 days after the conclusion of the band’s first ever ‘Island Exodus’ in Negril, Jamaica. This tour covers serious ground and has already made stops in Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ohio (all in a little over a week). Upcoming big tour stops include The House of Blues in Cleveland and Chicago AND Dallas, The Pageant in St. Louis, The Filmore in Devner, and Stubb’s Amphitheater in Austin among many others. It’s touring like this that earns Warren Haynes and the Mule Crew serious respect in the Jam Scene and reinforce Warren’s reputation as the hardest working man in Jam.

Check out this fun and eclectic Mule show from Thursday night at the Ryman in Nashville, TN. Mule busted out some rare covers like ‘The Shape I’m In’ (The Band), ‘Ventilator Blues’ (Rolling Stones), and ‘When The Music’s Over’ (The Doors) along w/ more oft-played cover tunes ‘Dear Prudence’ (Beatles), ‘Cortez The Killer’ (Neil Young).

NATEVA FESTIVAL ~ OXFORD FAIRGROUNDS ~ OXFORD, ME ~ JULY 2ND-4TH

Oxford Fairgrounds

With Rothbury cancelled at least for this summer, rumor has it that AEG Live/Madison House are going to go big this year with their first Annual ‘Nateva Festival’ to be held in Oxford, ME over July 4th weekend. Nateva will make their initial lineup announcement this Friday, January 29th. Rumored big names include The Allman Brothers Band, Furthur, The Flaming Lips, and Trey Anastasio Band.

GATHERING OF THE VIBES ~ SEASIDE PARK ~ BRIDGEPORT, CT ~ JULY 29TH-AUGUST 1ST

Vibe Tribe - Seaside Park

No official announcment on lineup yet from the Vibe Tribe, but the festival has confirmed that they will return to Seaside Park, even after last year’s lower-than-hoped attendance, unfortunate deatch of a camper, and investigation into illegal activities by private security hired by the festival producers. All that aside, Vibes is back and is sure to be better than ever. An educated guess at this year’s lineup with we Dark Star Orchestra on Thursday night, Furthur on Saturday, and Deep Banana Blackout + other big names for Friday. If your’e a deadhead, there’s no place like the vibes, it truly is Deadhead Heaven.
