Morning Jacket (Relix Revisited) Jane’s Addiction is a more unexpected Gathering of the Vibes headliner. The classic alt-rock band—which created and headlined the first Lollapalooza festival in 1991—is currently working on a new studio album with Most Read Most Commented TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek. The band also has some hidden jamband roots. 1. Bob Weir: Life After Dead (Relix Revisited) “This it he 20th anniversary of the Deadicated album 2. Sopabox: A Musicologist Geeks Out With Phish where Jane’s played ‘Ripple,’ which was the first tune that hooked me onto the Grateful Dead, which brings it 3.

Mathis played bass in the first version of Kreutzmann’s 7 Walkers band.

It is about turning kids on to some older music and making old Deadheads, like me, check out what some of the younger band’s have going on.” One younger band that has grown with Vibes is the teenage jamband The McLovins. The group got its start on Vibes’ Teen Stage and progressed to the festival’s side Green Vibes Stage. This year the band will make its mainstage debut. Gathering of the Vibes will also host moe.—who headlined the very first Vibes—as well as festival mainstays Dark Star Orchestra, Ryan Montbleau Band, David Gans, Assembly of Dust and Deep Banana Blackout. Meanwhile, New Mastersounds, Big Gigantic and others will perform late night sets. One familiar face that will not return this year is longtime festival emcee Michael J. Potashnick, who recently passed away. Vibes co-founder Bob Kennedy will step in to host this year’s festivities with hippie icon Wavy Gravy. Other new festival additions include a single day VIP option, as well as shuttle service from the festival to New York City each night. Additional acts will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
