The lineup for High Sierra 2011 was just announced, nearly a full day early here on the West Coast and the same day that Electric Forest announced their lineup. Some fans may consider a tough choice between the two festivals, but not me and about 50 other friends out here in California. High Sierra is an obvious choice as it is, but with My Morning Jacket headlining the 21st annual festival and Ween, Neko Case, Warren Haynes, Yonder Mountain String Band, Dr. Dog and more joining them for the weekend, it seems even that much more obvious where I’ll be headed.
