for some "hard rock" my guess is definitely Creed.

Bush

[everydayperson]

Haha! Did you see where Creed is playing the P'cola Saenger and Biloxi Hard Rock?

[mattlikesrock]

That's a weak start.

Not bad for $45 a weekend pass though... Can't really expect too terribly much.

[mattlikesrock]

So far:

Pretty Lights
Journey
Al Green
Pat Benatar
Bush
Buckcherry
Mimosa
Loverboy
Rose Royce
My Darkest Days
The Campaign 1984

And Pretty Lights said Willie Nelson and Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are playing.

It's not something I would drive to from out of town, but if I lived there I would go for $45.

[postjack]

looks like Friday is EDM day and Saturday is cockrock day. looks like I'm getting a double dose of PL that weekend.

[schlonginus]

Pat Benatar FTW so far.

[everydayperson]

Luke Bryan, Chris Cagle, and Jerrod Niemann playing Sunday on AT&T Stage. Yawn.

[postjack]

After party on Friday at the Soul Kitchen (post pretty lights) is Supervision and Big Freedia. Don't know if I'll make it but should be nuts.

[schlonginus]

That Big Freedia show at the Music Box a couple of years ago was awesome.

[everydayperson]

So this means Grace Potter will most likely play Sunday on the Coke Stage. It will be very interesting to see who's on that bill with her.

Callin' it ---> Kid Rock.

[Sgt. Blotter]

Why is f'n bayfest doing announcements like this.........I'm sick of all these stupid ass festivals pulling this waiting game bullllshizt on everyone.

F'n bayfest

[schlonginus]

At least they're giving people at date and time in advance.
We literally have no quacking clue when we're going to hear the rest of the voodoo lineup.
"Soon" could mean Labor Day with those mawfawkas.

hell yeah to that. I'd rather not wait at all, but if I'm going to wait, its nice to at least have an end in sight.

not that I'm stressing much over whether Kid Rock or Hinder gets added.

[Sgt. Blotter]

Bayfest just needs to pony up the money and get the Allman's, it's been since ike '05 that they've had them and they would be a hit. Old school Southern Rock is a crowd pleaser at bayfest.

[everydayperson]

Popular rumor is My Morning Jacket on the Coke Stage Sunday.

[Sgt. Blotter]

^^ Awww man that would be awesome!!! Totally sucks that I have tickets for Godspeed in NOLA that night.

[schlonginus]

Ha, I didn't even realize that we already have plans for saturday and sunday nights of Bayfest weekend.

That's what I'm screamin' man! Just got back from ATL and ABB killed it Saturday night. The setlist was redonkulous. Franklin's Tower FTW.

[Sgt. Blotter]

We could cancel the B'Ham tickets for Godspeed, or I will just pay the frigin' $14 to have em shipped (RIPOFF) and sell them to people.

[schlonginus]

I'm getting rid of the b'ham GY!BE tix anyway because Big Business is playing p'cola that night. I'm goin' to the nola show though. quuack bayfest.

holy crap

[Sgt. Blotter]

I heard Jane's Addiction as a rumor last night

[everydayperson]

I heard the Jane's rumor too. There's more evidence to support MMJ at this point though. MMJ (and Jane's, and Grace Potter, and Bush) all played Beale Street this year which is booked by the same people that book BayFest. MMJ plays Southland in Nashville that Saturday. Nashville to Mobile shouldn't be that difficult to maneuver. Plus it'd be really interesting to see Jane's play BayFest after they played DeLuna last year.

Either band would be a real step out there for BayFest (especially MMJ). There would be A LOT of hating going on in Mobile because Mobile is a way force-fed mainstream place. But an MMJ booking would bring a load of people in who would have never considered BayFest to ever have been a viable option, and people means $$$, and maybe more diverse future lineup changes for BayFest in the future.

On a personal note, I have never seen MMJ. So as much as I love Jane's Addiction and would be stoked if they came, I'd be even more stoked for MMJ.
