Sweet! I wonder how awkward the backstage / after party will be with PNG and Phil both there, or if they kissed and made up. Would be cool to hear Kimmy play with Phil again.
And agreed that OCF main stage meadow is too small. Between the increase in attendance and the refusal of the fair to do some reasonable trimming of the trees, that space is getting small.
Def. the best headliner lineup in a bunch of years.
Yup, gotta get there early and stake out a spot, but IMO the sound is usually pretty great. Excited to see Phil, of course, but even more stoked for the Zero/Melvin set. Plus ALO, Ace of Cups, and the Everyone Orch.
It will be crowded this year - prob. even more so than the last few. And the mosquitos will be awful due to all the rain and flooding this year - they're still rebuilding all the structures, booths, and infrastructure that was washed away this winter.
But it will be big fun this time around. Get your tix soon 'cause this one - Sat. anyway - might sell out earlier than is usual.
They just announced the music slots for NWSS and DSO is headlining Thursday night with two sets. That will be cool.
Keep me in the loop on your plans. We plan on being there first thing in the morning on Thursday to snag a good (i.e. flat) camping site. And enjoy OCF. I know folks that do the "trifecta" of HSMF>OCF>NWSS every July, but my summer is already so jam packed I will likely skip the fair.
Ken - DSO only on Thursday? Will have to look if I can buy a 1 or 2 day ticket! This could work out well.
I've never seen Ace of Cups, so will add them to my fair schedule!

Portland Ken > Strummit is very crafty w/ the ticket pricing... $65 just for the Thursday add-on.. which *must* be accompanied by a 2- or 3-day pass.... and I'll want to go home by Saturday. Wish I could sell the wristband -- it's most economical to buy the full 4-day pass if Thursday is a must-attend day...which in my book, it is. Ghostlight plays that day, too!
>>>> $65 just for the Thursday add-on.. which *must* be accompanied by a 2- or 3-day pass
I think part of that logic is that they don't want someone paying for just Thursday and then having to somehow make sure they don't stick around for the whole fest.

Indeed. Because unless you stake out a spot early up close, main stage at OCF kind of sucks for sound quality and line of sight.
Phil and the Family Band is coming up to Oregon again for Pickathon a few weeks later (but I will be down in Fla for WSP though).
Anyone doing NWSS this year? About to pull the trigger on tix.
