This year’s Electric Forest Festival, set to take place June 28th – July 1st in Rothbury, Michigan, announced its initial artist lineup today. The biggest names in the lineup include SCI (3 shows), STS9 (2 Shows), Ghostland Observatory, Girl Talk, and Theivery Corporation. This lineup is yet again shaping up to be a jamtronica fan’s wet deam, and one can only imagine a lot of great artists are still to be added to the bill.
You can buy pre-sale tickets now at the Electric Forest website. You can check out a full list of announced artists also on the official site or here at Jambands.com. Check out a bunch of last year’s shows over at archive.org, or YouTubes of the action here.
As we turn the corner into February, let’s take a look at an exciting upcoming run of shows going down next month. Phil Lesh will reunite Phil Lesh and Friends for the first real P&F shows since 2008. All the info that’s fit to print on these shows can be found below.
Phil and Friends Broomfield Flyer
Who: Phil Lesh and Friends, featuring Warren Haynes, John Scofield, and Jackie Greene on guitars, Jeff Chimenti on keys (just added today!), Joe Russo on drums, and Phil Lesh on bass guitar.
What to Expect: Phil-heads everywhere (yours truly included) have very high expectations for these shows. This is an all-star band and the combination of Warren and Scofield is not something to miss. Expect high-energy, fast-paced, psychedelic versions of Dead classics, lots of covers, maybe some new Furthur cuts, a few Jackie Greene originals, and some surprises as well I’m sure.
To wet your appetite for these shows, and give you a taste of what this lineup is capable of, check out this Phil and Friends show form Mountain Jam 2007 that featured Warren and Sco on red-hot dueling guitars. Or just sample the few vids below from that epic night…
Camp Bisco 9 is just wrapping up after a crazy 3 day celebration at the Indian Lookout Country Club in Mariaville, NY.
Words can’t do justice to the other world that is Camp Bisco… To get a taste of the untz that went down this weekend, check out some choice vids below as well as Bisco setlists from throughout the weekend (downloads coming soon). Enjoy!
