The lineup looks pretty solid this year with headliners Pearl Jam, Aretha Franklin, Elvis Costello, Van Morrison, Lionel Richie, Allman Brothers, Widespread Panic, etc, etc. I'm personally excited to get my soul sauce on with Aretha, Gil Scott Heron, Chocolate Milk, wow there are too many to write about.
As usual the fest stays true to its roots with tons of Louisiana and New Orleans Bands keepin in real.
