Check out my idea for the best festival ever!!! Woodstock 2009:
Jesus, the owner of woodstock.com needs to get on the ball! August 15, 2009 is only one year away...
Gathering of the Vibes is a good festival that attracts some big names. Its not as well known or big as bonnaroo but you wont be dissapointed if you go.
Thanks Kyle... I've added this one below (Updated information -2009).
Woodstock was the "goodest" ever festival. Got my fist look at Santana, the Who, Country Joe McDonald, Riche Havens ...
The known stars being Sly & the Family Stone, Joe Cocker, Joan Baez, ... wow!
:)
Quicksand, thanks for the comments. Hard to believe Woodstock was almost 40 years ago.
40 years! I saw the doccumentary, Robert, and later on I had an LP. You probably saw it live! :)
Country Throwdown Tour starts May 14th in Tampa. Get ready!
Updated USA Music Festival Information for 2009
A new submission from Kyle... Gathering of the Vibes, July 23-26, 2009. Seaside Park, Bridgeport, CT.
History: Started in 1996 as a memorial to Jerry Garcia, the lead singer of the Grateful Dead. After Jerry's death in 1995, folks wanted to fill a void. Originally named "Deadhead Heaven - A Gathering of the Tribe", the name was shortened to Gathering of the Vibes.
