Wakarusa 2007 - Dates/Initial Lineup Announced

haha, i’m pretty set on burning man this year…maybe i’ll come home all fucked up and want to do weird things to people.

just kidding, burning man for me will be about exploration and alternate forms of consiousness (spelling?) while gaining a stronger sense of unity…

The Mutaytor Issues Statement Regarding Matthew Nash

Yesterday we reported that the Mutaytor

and to add to that, i’m pretty pissed they backed out…

after reading the news post on jambands.com about Nash leaving and Mutaytor playing one of their strongest shows the day after he left just seems like they should bring their 30+ members to KA and tear shit up again.

Mutaytor is fun as hell!

Remember this guy?

Good times.

I think I saw him at least half a dozen times each day.

BWAHAHA!

I remember him.

My guess is he figured he would look like a doof with the cast on, so he said “fuck it” and went with the Speedo, too.

Speedo guy was everwhere last year. WILL HE return this year sans cast?

By the way, just got my Waka Street Team confirmation and promo stuff.

Hell fucking yes!

I just want to say that if any festival would add David Grisman to the lineup… I would absolutely freak out… Can you imagine him playing Wakarusa??? I would almost be in heaven.

Grisman would be a perfect fit. They still haven’t announced officially Sam Bush but I’ve seen it listed on other sites. Jorma/Hot Tuna would also be a perfect Waka addition…

Hot Tuna is HOT!!! I saw 'em dosed out of my mind a couple xmas jams ago.

Whoooooweeee!

I guess I am the only one with a ticket so far.

Who else besides WILL has make it official? Besides Glenn, whom we all know will show up…and Marianne who wouldn’t miss Waka for anything!

I’m getting my street team ticket once again at the gate.

So I am IN!

Verns extra tent spots in VIP:

  1. WillB

did you get vip vern???

As Street Team, do I get VIP if I already have a ticket? I just want drink vouchers or something.

But I am buying upgraded camping no matter what! Hell, I’m just doing street team to spread the word.

I LOVE WAKA!

Street team just gives you a Volunteer bracelet.

Last year mine was green and shiny.

I’m reading in their forums about STREET TEAM CAMP SITES. VIP styled upgraded camping.

I’m looking into it.

alright. I’m convinced Vern is being paid by the Waka people. :wink:

just joking man.

Good one, PH!
Actually, what I like about Waka is it’s ABOUT THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE, unlike most commercial music fests. In October, the organizers asked the fans in the forum WHO THEY WANTED TO SEE. Many many folks wanted Widespread and they got it. Fan faves like Lotus, Grace Potter, Bassnectar, Railroad Earth, and Les Claypool were also added by unanimous fan requests. We kept harping about OZRIC TENTACLES…and now they’re making their FIRST major United States festival appearance at Waka. All due to Waka people asking and them being available.
At Waka, it’s all about the music…including UNDERGROUND music, fresh and different. Electronic, jamtronic, bluegrass, progressive rock, funk, jazz…it’s all there and all goood! I can’t think of ANY festival with such a diverse line up of goood music. All the rest of the festivals on this circuit are concerned with big names and big headliners and big numbers to draw people. Waka does it simply by vibe…and catering to the Waka people. Easily the most personable and friendly fest on the circuit…with the best music.

Will…according to many veterans on the Waka board, STREET TEAM has their own designated upgraded camping sites and get early Wednesday access!
