Free, as always. Golden Gate Park, as always.

Lineup still TBA, but here's some random early confirmations around the internet:

Dave Alivin and the Guilty Women
Kelly Willis
Doc Watson
Earl Scruggs
The Wronglers
Railroad Earth
Jon Randall Stewart
Robert Earl Keen
Stephen Marcus
Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band
18 South

edit: Just noticed that their website is scrolling a bunch of pictures of different artists (which didn't play last year), and a few of them match with the early confirmations, so it's safe to assume that the rest will probably be there:

Trombone Shorty
Earl Scruggs
Peter Himmelman
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
Del McCoury Band
Roseanne Cash
Patti Smith
Umphrey's McGee
Lucero
The Felice Brothers
Carolina Chocolate Drops
The Avett Brothers

But yeah, so far from the photos it looks like it's going to be another awesome line up!

[HandBanana]

FUCK YES

[Astrid]

are you fucking kidding me....the year i move away.


blehhhh. well....i probably have to go.

[Hannahrain]

I think I'm going to see if I can weasel this somehow. I have a bunch of stuff I've been meaning to put on Craigslist, and this is a pretty fucking good cause. It's unlikely, but maybe I'll see you there.

[seyrnon]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT MONDO CANE!?!?!?
FUCK YES!!!

[rage patton]

Holy fucking dear lord sweet Jesus almighty. Fuck.

[PassiveTheory]

Great lineup the one year I'm going to miss out. Fuck.

[rskapcat]

Oh, balls. WANT.

[shakermaker113]

what is mondo cane?

[rage patton]

I can't believe you guys are getting this. I am so fucking jealous.

[shakermaker113]

for free too.

I dunno, I thought mondo cane was a film.

[gaypalmsprings]

It's worth the price of admission.

[weeklymix]

Mondo Cane and T Bone. WILL TRAVEL FOR THIS.

[unit300021]

This is pretty stellar lineup. Might have to find a away to get up there for this.

[Rosemont17]

fucking great lineup! looking forward to it....

[paulb]

Mondo Cane, Patti Smith, Patty Griffin, Avett Bros, Joan Baez

pretty cool for free

[guedita]

This event gets so packed though, it's really hard to move from stage to stage. In my opinion, it's best to pick an artist you really want to see and post up at the stage they are at for the day.

[dorkfish]

So it's just solo Conor Oberst, now, which is probably better.

[Mr.Nipples]

I can't believe you guys are getting this. I am so fucking jealous.

if you want to come down you have a couch to crash on, i wont miss mondo cane if they are in fact playing.
