The second incarnation of Rothbury Festival is back on the Fourth of July weekend with a lineup that will satisfy any jamband fan living in these great independent states, and I’m just now getting around to posting the lineup for everyone to see (not that you haven’t already seen this elsewhere). I’m already booked for High Sierra or I would be hitting this festival myself, but lucky for us the fine folks behind Rothbury Festival are sponsoring the site for the month leading up to the festival. And we get to celebrate that by giving away a pair of tickets for all 4-days of the festival.
Just in case you’d need any convincing to go, here’s the list of artists scheduled to perform:

We’re grateful to the festival organizers for giving us a pair to giveaway, as well as getting us some great media access to the festival to allow us to cover it more in-depth this year.
