this seems like a real attempt to get at what these festivals should be.

Primus is scheduled to be there!!!!!

beats bonnaroo. IM IN!

i heard mars volta is playing… true or not true?

and modest mouse is awesome live

I’m from this area of MI originally and this is pretty exciting news! But, this is the sort of show I wish acts like: WILCO, SON VOLT, GARY LOURIS, SOUL ASYLUM, ROBBIE FULKS, etc. would be playing at as well. Too bad.

im so there…dmb, sts9, primus, modest mouse, whats up michigan

I’ve been to Bonnaroo the first few years and being from Michigan this looks awesome!

Way nicer weather, better location, probably not crappy rain with crappy mud.

Could do without the crappy first three acts.

I’m sure DMB and co. will bring the frat boys out.

YEZZIR. I’mma be thurr!

45 minutes from where I am. YES.

hello west michigan
keeping it real third coast style
what more do you want
better bring extra diapers
and the pet donkey

west michigan!!! An hour from my house. Can’t wait to have something cool to go to where I don’t have to drive 5 hours or more.

I live in Montague which is like 20 minute from the double jj and I really don’t know anyone in my town who’s not gonna go. This is huge. I’m so stoked…

This will show the out of staters what michigan is about, the absolute best time of the year in MI, and place, great times await us

Good message board about Rothbury.

dont forget to check out silver lake, pines point, or flip city disc golf. out of towners should plan an extra day in town to check out the lake michigan beaches. spend your money in muskegon and north of, rather than grand haven

too bad they are competing with summer celebration :\ idk where to spend my dollars

hmmm,

if you google “rothbury mars volta” it says they are playing in the google search but when you click on the actual festival website it does not list them. However, right when you click on the website there is a list of the bands that disappears immediately. The mars volta are listed on that too. you have to be quick to catch it but it is there. Hope they play b/c they are awesome live.

about time my home state actually did something besides house a declining automobile industry!

michigander

rumor has it that phish is doing there reunion in michigan…and this is the first time that the members of phish have been at a fest. together….they won’t be able to resist!! and hopefully we’ll get to see and hear a couple cheese songs from the kang and nershi and travis/hann it’s lookin like the best fest of the summer kids and i live here

Umm fuck yea ill be coming from memphis, TN…number 1

you could do without the first three acts i know dmb and john mayer sucks but widespread panic is the best jam band out go to one of their shows and you would be amazed

Trumps Bonnaroo

Dave Matthews Band probably started this damn festival you idiot, because they are amazing, open your mind and soul to more music my friend… there are endless worlds to discover that panic ain’t gonna show you..

I might want to go, but I would be going alone, who wants to go with me??

sts9 owns all

Got my Tix today. Coming in from MD. Can not friggin’ wait. Mule!

lets rent an rv and bring along a propane barbeque and some shade structures and lets do this right!!

im comming from memphis tennessee!!

i cant wait to see dave.and snoop.
hopefully mars volta and phish actually do show up

I won tix today!!!
Love to 103.3 WKFR

This festival is guaranteed to dole out some face meltings!

who started the phish reunion rumor? not gunna happen.a band of that calibur would certainly announce a show to their loyal followers. but i bet gordon and fishman play somethin together

Anybody saying that Mayer sucks has been watching his crowds rather than listening to his music. He is quickly becoming our generations’ Clapton. I’ve been following him since 2001 and thankfully each year there are less and less teeny-boppers in the crowd, and more people that can appreciate what he’s doing. This will be a great enviroment to watch him in as you won’t have the typical Mayer attendees at Rothbury. And for anyone that hasn’t seen or heard Ray Lamontagne before, prepare to be dazzled.

To LIVEITNOW, if you think Dave Matthews Band started this festival you sure haven’t been around the Jam Band scene for that long or you are a foolish fratboy. Over half of DMB fans could care less about the environment. Dave and the band maybe environmentally aware but not half of their fanbase of MTV loving, money hungry,republican supporting, teenyboppers.

LiveItNow has no clue, stop wasting time with the idiot. It’s fans like LiveItNow that has ruined festival line-ups like Bonaroo, and Vagoose. Stay home fratboy.

You can’t really ask for too much more with this line-up. I’ll be making my way from Memphis,TN as well. Bonnaroo this year is a fuckin joke compared to this.

Its very true. It was the DMB fans that ruined him for me. Hopefully seeing him at a Festival like Rothbury will bring his music back to me without the distraction of obnoxious drunk fratboys and annoying screeching teenyboppers.

This is gonna be freakin’ crazy! Im 60 miles from there! Gettin ready to groove to Emmit-Nershi and Widespread!

Jambase is giving away 2 VIP tickets to Rothbury. Go to the site, click on the Contests tab, and get your enter on!!!

We’re driving up from CO to see this.. its going to the festival of the summer man!

okay… first off you all are spreading fake rumors. Dave Matthews did’nt start rothbury… Madison House and the owners of Double jj ranch did. second, let’s hear respect to all the bands that are performing this summer at the festival. why are we trying to prove who is a bigger fan then who? I’m worried for summer celebration. true both events are taking place in ski-town, but rothbury is gonna totally wipe out

Phish @ Rothbury rumors came out of employees at “EVENT STAFF” ( yellow shirts). Apparently they were told that they will/might have to deal with the security issues that come with a Phish reunion.

i first heard about this fest on WXRT in chicago. this should be an awesome festival. double JJ kicks ass (been there)! but won’t attend as we’re going furthur north in august to another michigan gem of a festival-the dunegrass festival @ sleeping bear dunes. advice for folks coming from out west–take the carferries across lake michigan to avoid the traffic in chicago!!!!! you won’t regret it!!!

after the money’s gone. once in a lifetime. am i right or am i wrong? i’ll cast my vote for a phish reunion. that, and lax entrance in the west side of the state. same as it ever was. watch FESTIVAL EXPRESS.

why all the hate on these people yeah sure some are drunk idiots but some are not why sterotype a group a people….not all italians are mobsters, not all african americans are in gangs…why all the hate..

Hey, all of us Michiganders have been waiting for this blow out of the summer…seems like we’re always forgotten.
This fest is gonna make up for that…can’t wait to see nershi again!!!
PEACE…BE KIND!!
