Does anyone know what days Gov't Mule, Les Brers, and GA / BT tribute shows will occur at Peach Festival? Widespread Panic web site indicates they will be playing on August 12 and August 13.
Also does anyone know when daily schedule for all performers will be released? I am trying to make plans for possible travel to festival.
Been thinking about this a lot and doing some digging. Looking at when some of the bands have other shows around the festival, and taking into account that from the billing on the poster I have come up with the following theories although nothing is official until they announce it.
There are 4 nights to the festival, there are 4 headliners. The 4 headliners are Gov't Mule, MMJ, and 2 nights of Widespread Panic.
We know that My Morning Jacket has to be headlining Friday night because they have shows elsewhere every other day. We know Panic is headlining on Saturday night and Sunday night. That leaves Mule to headline on Thursday and I think they have another show somewhere else on the other days. I am thinking the Gregg/Butch Tribute will either be Saturday prior to Panic, or Saturday after Panic, but that is just a guess. The rolling stone article announcing it said it was taking place on Saturday. Joe Bonamassa has to be playing sometime Sunday I think he has other shows on the other days too. The Magpie Salute has to be playing Friday since they are booked elsewhere on the other days.
This festival lineup is off the charts. I cannot wait to see how they cram all of this stuff into 4 days. Gonna be a blast!!!
Mule is playing Sat night at the Peach.

That's weird, when you look at http://www.mule.net, it doesn't show anything for 8/12, it just shows peach festival from 8/10-8/13. But they have shows elsewhere on 8/11 and 8/13.
The billing makes it look like they are a headliner but they can't be headlining on 8/12 because Widespread is. I guess they could play before or after Widespread's headlining slot, but when the hell will the ABB tribute take place?
I guess we'll just have to see what is going on when they announce the full schedule.
It would make sense to me for Mule to headline on 8/10 and then Warren and the guys will be available for the ABB tribute on 8/12. you know he is not missing that

A couple guys there appear to have applied some elbow grease to figuring it all out. I'm also under the impression that the bands Thursday night won't be top 3 line headliners because so many people are 3 day weekend types traveling in and out. Most of the folks I know who are going don't arrive until Thursday night or midday Friday.
Historically DSO has always played Thursday night 2 sets. Looking at some of the band sites, I think its going to be 2 sets of JRAD on Thursday night as DSO is in Pitt that night.
MMJ is playing Friday per their site.
I am also thinking that Saturday will be an Allman bros day. Mule is playing Saturday and I am thinking Les Bres and Jaimo's Jazz band will be Saturday. DEF Les Bres. It was announced that the All Star Tribute will be Saturday night so it makes sense that Mule and Les Bres will play same day so that Warren, Oteil, Jack, Marc and Jaimo are all there. Wide Spread Panic will still be the headliner Saturday, they might just have Les Bres play in afternoon, Mule play 5 or 6ish and All Star tribute all before them.
And here is something to ponder, Derek goes off the road I think August 2nd until middle of September. Things that make you go Hmmmmmm.
Thinking it will be mid July at least until they release the schedule.
I noticed the hole in Derek's schedule too. I'm sure he would love to enjoy some time off, but if this is going to be the definitive tribute to Gregg and his uncle, I cannot imagine him not being there for it, especially when you know his brother will be there for Panic's gigs, you know he will be sitting in Butch's stool as he did at Wanee for Les Brers set.
I know they normally don't other than the 1 year there was an attempt to revive Moogis - but this year's Peach Festival needs to be streamed. The world's ABB fans need to rise up and demand it!
If I can catch the whole les bres, mule & friends, Gregg Butch tribute thing on sat and be on the road home by 11pm.
I'll do the day trip.... not really interested in Panic
