Some nice announcements today. Really hoping for a Father John Misty show at The Anthem in the spring.

GAS (aka Wolfgang Voigt) at Sixth & I on Sunday March 25th, which is a perfect venue for the type of ambient music he'll be performing. Don't miss this.

So this is direct competition with the National Cannabis Festival a week earlier?

[The Foot Fuckin' Master]

Oh and last year they apparently had Solange, so this lineup is automatically a downgrade.

[dreadpirateroberts]

Got my ticket. Really excited to see Daniel Caesar.

HAIM just announced a show at The Anthem on May 1.

Beck at The Anthem seemed like a natural fit, and it's finally happening 4/27 - very excited

Edited: It's Friday 4/27 not the 26th like they first announced.

[dreadpirateroberts]

Excited to see Beck at The Anthem. Can't wait!

[dreadpirateroberts]

Damn. The number of country shows announced at MPP so far have been crazy. I think it's been 6. Can we get some other shows, please? Lol.

They've done it before. I would hope it be this week. They could be holding off on announcing it till tonight or tomorrow.

[iaredani]

Modest Mouse and Beck on the same week? Hell Yes!

It was in the Southeast for a long time near St. Elizabeth's hospital. Live Nation purchased it since the 2017 edition and now its at RFK

No, I think this is the first year. Live Nation purchased it after last year's fest. I guess they are trying to make it a bigger thing.

[The Foot Fuckin' Master]

So are there "donations" at Broccoli Fest when you buy merchandise and other items?

Wolf Trap Schedule is out: www.wolftrap.org/tickets/calendar.aspx?venue=filene+center

Of those listed I'm most interested in The Revivalists, Allison Krauss, Roger Daltrey doing Tommy (very interesting), Tedeschi Trucks, and Isbell & Hiss Golden Messenger

I was shocked to learn Pat McGee band was still a thing. A thing that has enough fans to play WolfTrap at that.

Hey itrainmonkeys can you move this thread to the show folder? It started as a thread for a fest and morphed into a show thread. Alternatively we can lock and restart.

[Vinnie the Eel]

I'll be there for TTB - otherwise a bit too much of a hike for us from Downtown Baltimore. Maybe Avett Brothers if the wife wants.

We went to see PJ Harvey there last year. That place is awesome.

I think most of the non-country shows are being absorbed by the Anthem.  Modest Mouse, Beck, Fleet Foxes, etc. all played Merriweather on recent tours and now have Anthem shows within a month of each other.

I like that the Anthem is a better option than Echostage for bands too big to play the 9:30 club and it's cool that Lorde is playing there instead of Capital One Arena. But it seems to have taken away a lot of the good stuff at Merriweather.

How much of a competitor is Live Nation's Jiffy Lube Live to Merriweather? And would you say that Merriweather is a better venue overall than The Anthem? I'm somewhat new to the area so I'm still getting absorbed into the whole live scene here.

Depends on where you live and what type of music it is. Merriweather is an absolute bear to get to for me, and leaving there can be really really tough if you dont nail it right. However it is a vastly superior outdoor venue to Jiffy Lube so music that needs to be experienced more outdoors is better there than the Anthem.
