I liked the line-up last year a lot better. Seems like they're catering to the jam band contingent.

Wait it out for the final line-up. With 6-8 stages and 3 nights to fill, there are sure to be many more additions. Though, I can't say I'm complaining about the jam focus. I'd like to see Moe. playing there.
