Music Fest NW posted a teaser video on Facebook today that says the lineup is coming soon. Considering their earlier announcement that lineup and ticket info will come at the end of April, unless they go full Pemberton and wait, more information will come out next week. All we know so far is that Alan Jackson is not playing (watch the video). I kind of thought Death Cab might headline as they're definitely popular and MNFW will probably want to make a splash in the first year with their new format. They're playing Maha Festival in Omaha on Saturday, April 16th (the first day of MFNW). I'm still pouting about the new format. I thought running across town from venue to venue at wee hours of the night was what made MFNW stand out from other music festivals. Not too mention the free shows during the day at the Doug Fir. This is why I am happy about the new format if they can pull it off well. I don't have a car and I live in SE and I work during the week so running around all over town in the middle of the night in the middle of the week and not being guaranteed to get into any of the shows unless you have a VIP wristband does not work for me.

Broken Bells announced a show at the Schnitz in Portland for 8/11, so they won't be headlining MFNW. Since their only previously announced PNW show this whole year before this morning was Squamish (and Sasquatch, I guess), I was starting to get afraid they might headline.

The Head and the Heart are headlining Edgefield in Troutdale on 8/30 without a Seattle date, so yeah, they're going to play in Memorial Stadium at Bumbershoot.

HARD always brings a really solid lineup from top to bottom. I'm really tempted to buy a ticket, for several reasons, but mostly for Tiga vs Audion... Since Audion was a casualty of (un)Annexation of Julysquatch '14. I've heard their main stage had a bit of volume trouble last year though. However, if shit like THIS is going on elsewhere, probably wouldn't be spending much time there:

MFNW just retweeted this tweet from Spin about Run the Jewels. Hopefully that's an indication they're playing the festival this summer!

Hahah! Perfect response. I've been to Troutdale before. Somewhere along the line me and a few friends started using "troutdale" as a substitute for the word "true". Fig says it now too.

Calgary Folk Fest full lineup tomorrow. It's never absolutely amazing, but there's always a few great acts playing and I can get cheap student tickets. The weather is usually pretty nice in late July too so that's another plus.

MFNW just announced a lineup predictions contest that ends on Monday. So, my money is on the lineup coming out on Tuesday.

I keep forgetting MFNW is in August now. I wasn't expecting the lineup to come out so soon.
