The Allman Brothers Band

Newsletter: Peach-O-Gram for December 23, 2005

Seasons Greetings sweet family,

The Allman Brothers Band is bringing you an early holiday surprise this year with some 2006 concert news. No, not that one yet… think beyond March, think outdoors, think drum circles around the campfire, think early Spring, think Florida, think warm, think… yup, Wanee!!

The 2006 Wanee Music Festival pre-sale starts today, December 23, at 10AM! The festival will be held April 14 and 15, 2006, in Live Oak, FL and will feature two days of music and community. You can camp there, or stay in nearby hotels if you prefer.

And check out this lineup:

The Allman Brothers Band
Gov’t Mule
The Derek Trucks Band
Oteil and the Peacemakers
OAR
North Mississippi All Stars
Martin, Medeski & Wood
Jack Pearson Band
The Wailers
Lee Boys

…and with more bands to be added. We think they should rename Wanee to The Peachfest!

The pre-sale runs from December 23 through January 6, and during that time tickets are $100. Compared to what we’ve paid lately for concert tickets to see one band, this is a steal! The pre-sale ends January 7, at which time tickets will be $110, on February 1 they are $125, and they are $140 at the gate, so the pre-sale is a great way to save some money to put toward Beacon tickets!
