Furthur Festival: Initial Lineup

Sorry, I'm a bit behind on this one, but better late than never. The initial lineup has been announced for the inaugural Furthur Festival @ Mountain Aire which will take place May 28-30 at Calaveras County Fairgrounds in Angels Camp, CA. Also, the band is now down to one drummer, Sir Joe Russo as Jay Lane has returned to Primus. Don't worry folks, Russo is more than capable of handling things all by himself. I personally always preferred the Grateful Dead with only Billy behind the skins anyways.

Here is the initial lineup
Furthur (headling two nights)
Electric Hot Tuna
Jackie Greene
Galactic
Larry Campbell & Theresa Williams
Mark Karan & Jemimah Puddleduck
The Mother Hips
The Waybacks
Common Rotation with Dan Bern
Carney
Maiden Lane
Blue Light River

Camping opens at noon on Friday, May 28. Weekend tickets include camping. GDTSTOO mail order 3/20-3/25 (first postmark 3/20). Online preorder 3/22, 9 AM, PST. Public onsale is 3/26, 10 AM, PST, through Ticketmaster.
