May 26-28

I’ve seen all of the Bonnaroo and Waka festival thread, and thought I should make one for Summer Camp. I know that many members here live in the Chicago-land area and hopefully will also go.

So far the initial line-up is moe. playing all three nights, Keller Williams for 1 night, and Umphree’s for 2 nights.

The line-up will get bigger but I dont expect any more big names to be anounced even though I’m hoping for some. If anyone else is goin we should definiately meet up, should be a good time.

^^i was gonna make a thread about summer camp…i couldn’t find anything for it but i’m glad the information is finally here, its gonna be sick. i can’t wait for more bands to be announced.

#3

Summer Camp seems more laid back than all the other festivals.

#4

If I wasn’t going to Waka, I’d be going to Summer Camp for sure. Great fest! And it’s NOT commercially motivated like some festivals have become…

#5

i may go b/c it is in IL and it is only a hop and a skip away

#6

I want to go! So bad! all ages, 3 hours away… 85 is good, week after i rake in confirmation presents and birthday is april… oh man oh man!!!

#7

I can’t hit both, so it will have to be moe.down for me. Lots of fun and I also get 3 days of moe. and I’m about an hour from where moe.down is held so…I can’t say no. But I can say no to Summercamp, not enough money/too far for me. Looks like it would be a good time with some great music, not to fond of Umphrey’s either.

#8

i really wanna gooo

#9

most likely cuz there are currently only 3 artists

#10

apparently at the moe. and disco biscuits show in chicago on friday, one of the guys on moe. said that rusted root and honkytonk homeslice (bell nershi’s side project) have been added to the artist list. i’ve also heard rumors that yonder was added, but nothing official.

#11

sounds nice, wish I could make it out there. I don’t have the cash or the means to go to waka or summercamp :frowning:

#12

thats sweet…i’d be pysched if yonder made it.

#13

I’d like to see one more major kicker added into this mix, like string cheese or something, but I definitely think ill be headin to Illinois at the end of may. Hells yea.

#14

jambase has groovatron listed as being there also

#15

Groovatron = crunchy funk!! hell ya!

#16

#18

More nd more looking like a top2 festie this year…WOW… I might have to cancel the regular summer May camp out to attend… What is the camping / scene like at the summer camp?

^before i get to the camping arrangements, tea leaf green has just been announced as well.

the camping situation is pretty dope. there’s a decent sized forest that everyone sets up camp in so there’s some shade (make sure you get there early enough on thursday though because the prime spots go quick). the only bad thing is that you can’t camp next to your car, and the campsite is a good walk away so make sure you bring something with wheels to haul your stuff. they also say no outside alcohol, but we managed to bring in about 5 cases of beer last year. they also have a campground for rv’s, but with a little convincing, you can bring your car in there if you really want to camp by it. one of the best things is that they have a stage which the smaller bands use thats right in the middle of the campground.

i think that just about covers it.

alright phriends, we’ve got some more summercamp artist additions.

the highlights include: disco biscuits, raq, and zilla (another sci side project)
