Chicago, Elton John, and Steve Winwood all on the same weekend. Gonna be awesome.

Really good lineup actually if you check the small print. This festival got the oldest average age though. Aaron Neville, Steve Winwood, and Dr. John lol. Why do they even bother with Juve and T.I. or even some of the younger bands like Kacey Musgraves or even Wilco. It's pretty crazy that Wilco or Widespread Panic could even be considered a "younger band."

I went last year and it was good (drunken) fun. Good crowds, too, especially in the smaller tents. Wholly recommended.

I'm sure you know the Nevilles and Dr. John are going to play this festival till they physically cannot. Dr. John tore it up last year.

TI and Juve are looking at the 25-40 range. I wouldn't consider them attracting a young audience at all.

Now with even less jazz than ever! Fuck the "jazz" fest.
