Is the "coming soon" box covering up DNB's name? Just wishing!
Because of Melvin and Kimock, I'll still add it to my summer music calendar, especially since I'm not going to the final String Summit.
This lack-of-DNB lineup also elevates that Soul Revival event in Ukiah w/ 2 nights of DNB in April!

my take is that DNB will play
my take is that DNB will play only if Moonalice is also in the lineup
hope I'm wrong

$329.43 for a 3-day ... roughly the same daily rate as $436.55 for a 4-day pass at Skull & Roses.
$30 for camping if you have a vehicle 21' or less, so that's less than Ventura if you fit, but RV passes are as much as $350 + fees
So, you could get by for $375 with camping, which isn't all that bad as a total out the door outlay in comparison to Ventura ... but no Phil is the glaring difference!

I like most of the bands on the bill, but it's much like Skull and Roses - too much of the same thing to camp for three days in the extreme summer heat. How many Scarlet Begonias can you hear in one day?

We went to Days Between last
We went to Days Between last year and it was fun, but was hot and dusty with very little food and drink. This year
opting for Skull and Roses. Cool coastal zone w a beach, bike path and lots of hotels, food and drink options. Might even get in some surf.
ymmv

It was warm at the fest last year but it wasn't crushing and it wasn't humid due to the elevation there.
Accuweather monthly forecast predicts low 80s with nighttime temps in upper 40s. Perfect!

DaysBetweenFest sent an email this morn.
The discount code JERRY80 is still in effect through July 22 for 3-day passes.
I committed to helping out at the photo booth, so stop by to see some stunning b/w art prints of GD tour images + other artists from the 80s.
They are adding a post-show "monitored community fire circle and jam" down by the creek.
This is also is the best weekend to see the Perseid meteor showers!

Dear Days Between Family,
We regret to announce that Steve Kimock & Friends will not be performing Saturday, August 6th at The Days Between due to Covid. We wish Kimock a speedy recovery and hope to have him back at the ranch soon.
Luckily, a fantastic new plan has quickly come together. As a replacement, we are happy to announce the NEW Days Between all-star house band — Skeleton Crew featuring Barry Sless, Mookie Siegel, Bobby Vega, John Molo, & special guests who have graciously agreed to join us at the jubilee.
This supergroup is dead to the core and will honor the music and memory of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead. Don't miss them light up the Black Oak Stage on Saturday night, August 6th, before DSO.
We look forward to having an incredible night of tasty jams and spinning dizzy underneath the beautiful Northern California sky. See you there!
Kindly,
The Days Between Team

Had a real good time this
Had a real good time this past weekend. Highlights for me were: The Skeleton Crew subbing for Kimock (Sless, Mookie, Molo, Vega); DSO Night two, with a nice slice of Shining Star, Imagine, Alligator in the 2nd set; Jackie Greene played a good set and Melvin & JGB closed out with a good dance party. Hot but not too hot. Being able to swim in the river this year was a savior.

Agree, me too... but I had to leave early on Sunday because of my job schedule in Portland.
Skeleton Crew and that Alligator were my highlights, as were other JGB tunes like Run for the Roses.
I was able to camp behind the photography booth under a huge old laurel tree, so it was the easiest fest I've attended in a long while.
Heat was manageable and the entire fest was super chill, friendly and well-organized.
