You beat me too it! I suck!

Not a bad lineup at all.

[miSTEVEious]

YES this is going to be FUCKING AWESOME

Old Crow! Del!

Wow! Free!

There's enough here to get me to go all three days. Especially Billy Bragg, Neko Case, OCMS, John Prine, Old 97s, Gillian...

[pancakespancakes]

Woah! Fricking Richie Havens! That would be awesome.

I would most certainly go to this if I lived near The Bay... jealous.

[Ardentbiscuit]

So far I'm in for this, don't really care to see Steve Martin play banjo but the rest is awesome!

[liquidsnake28]

Not a bad lineup. Is it still free?

[fatbastard]

That's an amazing line up. Seriously thinking about this one.

[SFChrissy]

I heard this was a blast last year!!! I'm going for sure...

[tubescape]

Gogol Bordello last year was the most wonderful thing I've seen mid-day in the park. There must've been 25,000 people watching their set and every single one of them were on their feet (not sitting on a picnic blanket) and jumping up and down. The scene was unreal compared to some other sets I saw. I felt so fortunate to be part of that experience and it was the best way imaginable to be introduced to that band.

[PassiveTheory]

<--- was in the pit for that insanity.

[digduggler]

Awesome lineup, but Steve Martin is a douche.

[bmack86]

Care to back that up with something besides a blanket statement? Because he seems like the epitome of awesome.

[Ardentbiscuit]

I love Steve Martin's movies, his stand out, etc.

I have watched footage of him playing banjo and I am not really interested because he just plays Banjo and nothing else.

Oh yeah, COS says these artists were added..

Latest Updates: 6/24 - Confirmed: Robyn Hitchcock, The Flatlanders

[fatbastard]

Ok, now your pulling our leg. MC Hammer?

[Ardentbiscuit]

Is that flyer for real?

If it is, I'm definitely going!

[dorkfish]

Ok, now your pulling our leg. MC Hammer?

He's local and he performed last year, as well.

[PassiveTheory]

Yeah he did.

Fuck, Amadou & Mariam TOO? I am so there.

[digduggler]

Care to back that up with something besides a blanket statement? Because he seems like the epitome of awesome.

Check out his Fresh Air interview on NPR. Total douche.

Plus I don't recall him doing anything worthwhile or funny in ages.

that show was so hilarious, because there were a few old people who refused to lift there blankets and lawnchairs and coolers and ended up looking confused and trying to protect there shit while punks were getting thrown everywhere. I was in the very front shouting along and getting my body thrown all around at that show too. fucking amazing
