Big Thief is gonna be the Very Special Guest playing a few tunes together and those who took a chance are gonna be loving it.
I’m going regardless, but I highly doubt Big thief is playing a surprise set at a podcast pre show. . I truly think whoever the guest is, is an interview and MJ will be the only musical guest. I don’t see them switching out gear mid set.

The joy of the after shows is that the artists often share gear. I’d expect to hear a few songs from the special guest. You’re right - Big Thief probably doesn’t quite fit that as a full band. But any solo artist could probably plug in a guitar and use an existing mic for vocals for a song or two.

Starting to convince myself that the unannounced Friday act is new basement tapes. Just thought ya’ll would like to know where my head is at. Except that guy that got mad about me guessing how long MJ lendermans set will be. That dude is gonna be pissed about my brain making shit up again

Between Friday and Sunday my brain is 100% sure we'll see Grace Potter, The Flaming Lips, Sturgill Simpson, The New Basement Tapes, Monsters of Folk, and/or maybe Father John Misty. Should be a fun weekend.

Nope - can’t be Friday. Taylor G is busy that day.

I dunno….still have a funny feeling my it’s gonna be Mavis.
This is what I would put my money on, got another friend of Mavis there with Taj being announced.
She’s in the Finger Lakes in July, has the time in her schedule. Also, I think Hozier donating to the fund in her name, which I have never heard of, was a clue as well. They’ll probably officially mention the fund as well.

Why wouldn’t they just announce her though?
I’m still riding with Noah Kahan. I’m guessing he can’t be officially announced because of Fenway and Soundside Music Festival gigs. And because he’s probably taking whatever he woulda been paid last year to play this year at a massive discount on his going rate. I’d throw him in the sub spot leading into Hozier. He too has a Hozier connection and they could easily play together at some point.

Yeah the unannounced one for Friday almost certainly has to be someone they couldn’t announce for whatever reason. (Or someone who really really wanted to keep it a secret I guess but I can’t fathom who is that reclusive.)

I still think Noah Kahan makes the most sense. I don’t know, he’s a New Englander, maybe he actually really wanted to play it and feels bad about it?
My fever dream replacement for Sunday: Thile/Strings. Noam Pikelny will be co-hosting The Bluegrass Situation, so maybe we’ll see Punch Brothers (well, I won’t, but anyone lucky enough to have tickets to that after show). Strings will be nearby for Sunday. Both could hypothetically be special guests for Cory Wong. And maybe they both had so much fun playing together at Telluride that they’d be open to reprising it? If only…
My Morning Jacket was great, as expected. I honestly really liked Shakey Graves, which was surprising because I remember thinking he sucked years ago. Say She She was dope as was Ozomatli. Trampled By Turtles was good. Today was a mess because the rain canceled half the day but Trevor Hall was super enjoyable, guy seemed stoked to be there. Guster was as Guster was, Head and the Heart were fine, and we left before Dispatch because why not.
Overall the music was mostly just "fine" but it was a very well run event, awesome space for a show like this, zero lines to speak of for food/drink/bathrooms, tons of easy parking, etc. Hoping they do well enough to make it a yearly thing because it's nice to have something like this basically in my backyard.
Edited to add that I will basically always champion/cheer on/root for any festival that exists outside of the LiveNation sphere. nice to see something like this which is put on from a hyperlocal promoter.
I've been on vacation the past week and a half and am catching up. I only did Saturday, but I completely agree with you on everything besides Shakey. I actually liked him when I last saw him a million years ago, but was a bit bored by this set.
They advertised wine on their website and there was none. That's my only real complaint.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I think Thao was a good add. Taj Mahal and Thao round out Sunday, and IMO say “summer festival” far more than November Ultra and Mitch Rowland. Neither are must sees for me, but are interesting enough I’ll consider depending on timing.
Edit: I take it back. Thao’s up there for me if she plays Know Better Learn Faster with Andrew Bird. 😉
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
