Forget where I read it (maybe here somewhere?), but other headliner might be Phil and friends...Read something about them waiting for him to sell out some other shows before announcing.

I am not sure with Phil playing Peach but it makes sense why they would hold it. I know Peach had a hard time with some of the shows Phil did around their date last year that were much father than Bethel is.
I might be the only person on here who liked last year's lineup more than this year's.. This is just Peach v2.0.. I want a legitimate North/Mid-Atlantic Indie Rock camping festival personally, there hasn't been one since Firefly turned awful in 2017, and there likely won't be one now.. so I'm a little bitter that there's 3 Jam based camping festivals all within a couple hundred miles of me (Lock'n, Peach, Mountain) and not one Indie Rock fest. Oh well, glad for the jammers who were bummed out by last year's MJ lineup anyway.

A few thoughts... I believe there's a good chance one of the Mule sets will be a "Woodstock" tribute; that's what they're going for at least. Phil is the additional headliner getting added later. Bonham I had heard was a late night set - maybe dropped out or getting added later? JRAD should be late night (not sure if both sets or just one). St Paul ... probably not on the lineup - I had heard they were likely in a few weeks ago. I actually saw the lineup on Saturday, but I was at my own birthday celebration and don't remember much lol.
As for festival direction, with LN at the helm it's likely to be very Peach like, but with some "Avetts" type artists mixed in. Set-up will probably feel similar too, with a permanent amphitheater stage and a constructed second stage.
Wish I had the means to do a bunch of fests this summer, because I could for sure have a great time at this, but I'm holding out for Woodstock as my only camping venture.
It hits most of the marks I want from a jam fest without the things I can't get with
Still somehow haven't seen Willie or Mule. JRAD and Dispatch are always great.
Toots, Lukas, Mandolin Orange, Sister Sparrow, Amy Helm, Allman Betts, Dustbowl, Nude Party, and Tyler Ramsey are all solid.
Agreed mouserat that the Northeast really needs to get a good indie rock-leaning camping fest together. I don't think it needs to replace Mt. Jam though, and having Jack Johnson and Alt-J in your top 3 in 2018 wasn't the way to make that happen.

You're right, the headliners were too weak to pull a strong crowd.. but otherwise a very solid lineup, imo. The problem is how large of a contingent of festival goers even care about Indie Rock these days? Jam fests will always have their core perennial festies, but I foresee that Indie Rock fests won't be a thing in the next 5 years

Doesn't have to be strictly indie. Even just a typical multi-genre fest that has camping but isn't Firefly-level crap would be really nice to have in the region.
Indie Rock also does very well in NYC and it might be harder to pull them away from that to play at 4pm in bumfuck NY

i wish they would post a proposed map of how it the layout will be. i'm curious where they will actually be camping people and what kind of a walk it will be.
Also - are we safe to assume that the Main Stage is the amphitheater stage? i'm not sure how i feel about that. have to do some serious thinking about this one. I wish they had more ticket options instead of just the 4 days.

I think amphitheater is safe to assume. VIP tickets include seats in first 20 rows or so. My guess is that GA is just lawn. Sounds like they will construct other stages, though. Don't really care about the change of venue, but this lineup would be awesome at Hunter. Especially with the undercard. No indoor stage is a negative in my book.

Yep - if you go to the ticket options they are basically the exact same as Peach

Does Peach ever release single day tickets closer to the festival date... or do they hold steady with the weekend pass as the only option?

Bands I had never heard of that I am now super stoked for:
Sister Sparrow Mo Lowda and the Humble Balkun Brothers
The 1st two I've seen and like. I haven't had a chance to look the ones up that I don't know yet, but I always seem to find a few That I haven't seen but look forward to checking them out.
