Conan with Dawes, jimmy giving and special guests.
That’s one more member of the new basement tapes on the fort…
What would be the point of booking New Basement Tapes and not announcing them? I think this is just going to be another year where we have a few members, maybe a song together at most, but no much else. (Unless they end up as an aftershow.)
They stand to benefit from a “anything can happen” mythology. Getting the second ever super group set as a surprise show, is a PR win
That said his Bonnaroo set was very fun, but let's be honest he's a mediocre musician and singer.
He’s basically an MC and will probably parade a decently impressive group of friends around that he will play backup guitar with. It’s probably going to be sick
Looks to be the last announcement. WEIRD one, but ehh. Love Conan though.
This whole lineup is bizarre. I really wish I hadn't followed the roll-out so closely this year - it has been maddening. I'll trust in Jay that there are a ton of great surprises to be revealed once we all pile into the fort, but on paper this seems incredibly weak.

Knew they’d do this…,said it a while ago. They’ll get Mason to hype it up nationally and sell this fest out again next year….

Better than Muppets and Ribs for the front row, though!
this thread is like Charlie Brown with the football, only if Charlie Brown also had a TBI
cant believe yall are falling for a Dawes cover set with window dressing
I'm with you here. Bitching and moaning (some people in the FB group) for 52 announcements in a row. Dawes and Conan are announced and the weekend is PERFECT now. No. Doesn't work that way haha
I can name names WILD how this one announcement turns the whole weekend around. But, if that makes them happy... they'll be waiting around until Sunday at 6:30
Well this lineup is still very underwhelming. But this announcement is great. That’s my take.

also its not even that good of an announcement - if it was some grail of a show then sure, fine. but it's almost certainly going to be the same old "Folk Family" jam session where they cover some songs with guest appearances mostly from people who are there all the time, only this time Conan O'Brien is involved for some reason.
also it would be incredibly funny if they're actually sticking to 54 total acts for the weekend and Friday is just getting one fewer

I'm very, very happy about Conan. Wow that's a left field pick and I love it. Hope he runs around to the late nights too.
Plus having Dawes there is a major plus. I love the band but a straight up normal set wouldn't be as exciting as this is. Sorta like MMJ backing Waters or Nathaniel and the Night Sweats backing Paul Simon.
I just may need to camp out for the rail for this one depending on the schedule

Who’s saying the weekend is perfect?
Not I. Can already imagine the frustration of sitting in line to get out of the parking lot after sticking around to find out that Conan's very special guests were not all that special. This just feels like stunt casting - hope they prove me wrong.
Well this lineup is still very underwhelming. But this announcement is great. That’s my take.
100% agree. LOVE this announcement (Dawes, ehh), but the lineup is just ... I don't have a good word for it. My least favorite since 2014, but blah blah, it's sure to be an unforgettable weekend. But really, it's going to be a wonderful weekend.
You didn't like the 2014 lineup? That was a top 3 lineup for me.
Upcoming Shows: August 7: Green Day/Smashing Pumpkins/Rancid/The Linda Lindas August 30: Waxahatchee/Snail Mail/Tim Heidecker September 17: Pearl Jam/Glen Hansard September 24: Idles/English Teacher
but it's almost certainly going to be the same old "Folk Family" jam session where they cover some songs with guest appearances mostly from people who are there all the time, only this time Conan O'Brien is involved for some reason.
Usually some of the most fun sets of the weekend for me. I end up smiling a lot during these shows. I like watching good artists having fun together on stage with their buddies. I must be nuts.

The lineup isn’t good, but it’s better today than it was yesterday. As someone who is looking for unique gets , and yes Larry I count folk family cover sets as unique being this is the only place you can see them, I’m excited for this set. And it greatly improved my opinion on the lineup. That paired with Cory and friends sounds exactly like what I’m looking for.
If the fest is exactly face value of what we see now, it’s underwhelming, but still has some gems for me. If Jack White comes out and new basement tapes play, then I’ll be thrilled but you’ll probably still hate on it and that’s fine. It’s just never going to be what it was. There’s still value in what it is.

What do you think they close the Quad with? I'm kind of leaning towards Cory Wong & Friends. Feels similar to when they closed the Quad with American Acoustic on 2017, Psychic Hotline in 2022, or Folk Family Revue in 2023.

I’m almost leaning Brittany Howard or Dropkick Murphys.

Yeah I was thinking Dropkick could close the Harbor, I could see the Quad too. Brittany feels like Fort stage to me.

I hope they’re pre-headline and it’s Brittney Howard, because I’d much rather skip her over Cory Wong. But probably not if Nate Smith is playing both sets? Maybe the Breeders?
