Yeah, the line-up is good, but since it's free the crowd is humongous and you can't actually see a thing, so it's sort of a trade off.

if you think you can't see anything you're not trying hard enough.

i'll be going early each day this year though.

That is a pretty killer line-up.

For those of you going, definitely try to hit up Trombone Shorty's set. I saw him here at our blues fest, and he put on one of the best, and energetic sets all weekend.

This would be a festival I'd get so frustrated with though, because I'd be trying to see so many people. That's a good problem to have though.
