Widespread Panic, Son Volt, Yonder Mountain and more to Wakarusa
Posted by Robert Bell on Thu, Jan 3, 2013 at 1:21 PM
Wakarusa unveiled the first part of its lineup today, and one of the headliners at the 10th annual music festival will no doubt have have the Spreadnecks rejoicing. That's right, jam-band favorites Widespread Panic will be among the groups playing Mulberry Mountain this summer.
Some of the other names include: Icelandic folk-pop outfit Of Monsters and Men, sure to be a hit with the mustache/skinny suspenders/vest/little hat crowd (they're "the new Arcade Fire," according to Rolling Stone); Canuck electro duo Zeds Dead; laid-back reggae-inspired bro jam band Rebelution; alt-country stalwarts Son Volt; bluegrass perennials Yonder Mountain String Band; and many more.
The next lineup announcements will be made Jan. 10 and Jan. 17. You can read the full list of bands announced so far after the jump.
