The annual announced their initial set of artists today with the old-school heavy hitters of and taking lead on the lineup this year. Both bands will be performing two nights so the sit-in potential on this festival is absolutely insane. That’s obviously what the promoters go for when they throw parties at this spot; my friends said Bear Creek was just a constant stream of sit-ins and sets with more guests than you could keep up with notating.

The fest returns to Suwannee Music Park in Like Oak, FL the weekend of April 19-21, and it’s a doozy if you’re a jamband fan whatsoever. Tickets go on sale this Friday. Read on for the lineup… >>>

Some fans may consider a tough choice between the two festivals, but not me and about 50 other friends out here in California. is an obvious choice as it is, but with headlining the 21st annual festival and , , Warren Haynes, , and more joining them for the weekend, it seems even that much more obvious where I’ll be headed.

Bear Creek Music Festival 2010 Lineup

in Festivals

Festival announcement season is in full swing around the Internets, and you can add another Florida festival to the list. Even though the event isn’t happening until November, the Bear Creek Music and Art Festival has announced its 2010 lineup. The festival takes place November 12-14 at Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida, the same spot as the Wanee Music Festival.

In fact, if you think of the Wanee Music festival as Florida’s big “Southern Rock” music fest (w/ the , WSP, etc…), then you might consider Bear Creek to be Wanee’s funky counterpart, with the likes of Ivan Neville, , , and George Porter in the top slots. Either way, it’s good to see a few solid Florida fests sticking it out through a tough economy (RIP Langerado).
