The lineup to this summer's Gathering of the Vibes festival in Bridgeport, CT was just announced. Headlining this year's festival, which will take place July 29th-August 1st, are Damien Marley and Nas, Primus, and recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jimmy Cliff. These names are quite different from what Vibes fans have been used to in the past. The festival usually centers itself around at least 1 Dead-related band, but additions are still to come, so we'll see what the final lineup will look like.
On a different note, lets hope that the festival organizers have taken strides to make a safer environment at Vibes this year. Last year, a man was killed and his body was dumped right in the middle of the camping area. Many blame the infamous "Nitrous Mafia" for this incident, but whether nitrous was involved or not, it is still a scary thought. Vibes has been a successful event for years now and lets hope that 2010 will let them get back on their feet.
