Tour Dates: Got Your Acronyms (Right Here)

In our relentless pursuit of informing you about every festival that gets announced we let one slip through our fingers last week with announcement of the initial line-up of the Gathering Of The Vibes. The festie returns to Seaside Park in Bridgeport, CT and will once again be headlined by Phil Lesh & Friends, while the rest of the bill features the likes of DSO, NRPS, AOD, DBB, PBS and more.

If a hippie jamband fest isn’t for you, then maybe one of these newly announced tours will be…

• Country music legend Merle Haggard lines up his latest batch of dates (begins: 04/02)
• Rootsy singer/songwriter Bob Schneider winds his way around the country (begins: 03/20)
• Jeff Tweedy & Co. add a late spring Mid-West run, don’t forget to put in your requests (begins: 04/30)
• The Roots hit the road to support their latest effort Rising Down (begins: 03/29)
• Charlie Daniels Band, .38 Special and Shooter Jennings join forces for the Volunteer Jam tour (begins: 04/11)
• Tween sensations The Jonas Brothers hit the shed circuit this summer (begins: 07/04)

Finally we’ve got some more confirmed acts for Bonnaroo, as this round of additions sees Stephen Marley, Money Mark, The Coup, The Wood Brothers, Rogue Wave, Newton Faulkner and a late-night set from Tiesto join the already fantastic bill. Bonnaroo continues to separate itself from the rest of the pack.
