Velvet Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 When is the lineup officially released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 There is your somewhat official announcement right there. The lineup is not complete at this time, and we have a few artists booked that we can't divulge until mid summer or risk having to pay other promoters for unsold tickets.....The posters have been printed up with most of the above on it.Its the Folk Fest- its kind of a surrender to the flow type of place- so don't expect a big hard launch/ media splash.

Northern Wish Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Ticket prices go up on May 15, but here is a cool thing we are going to do:REFUNDS available until Aug 1. Full refunds, no questions asked. This way if plans, financial situation, employment location change you can get your money back!Also these passes will be issued as 3 daily tickets so that people can use them as they see fit.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Also please note that the fest does not plan to hold a Thursday event this year, so the fest only runs from Friday till Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau. Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Plans are in the works to make it up for this. Don't think we'll be early birdin' tickets though (unfortunately) since none of us can say 100% we'll be free at that time. How much will tickets be after the early bird options?

livingstoned Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Joel and Bill Plaskett Duo SWEET!!!! Didn't know they were doing this and I'm pretty damn sure I'd really enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 --TBA on May 21--And Esau, one cool thing about the early birds is that they are completely refundable until Aug. 1. No risk at all!~Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingstoned Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Yeah, I didn't know about the Father/Son duo thingy. Knew he recorded with him but didn't know they were hitting the road together.
