Nice find ferret! Robert Randolph huh? He wasn't announced yet. I hope that's true. So lets try to figure out some of the rest that is fairly obvious:

Thurs:
Umphrey's McGee
Dark Star Orchestra
late night: ? (Antibalas maybe?)

Fri:
Ratdog
Robert Randolph
Trampled By Turtles
LN: Beats Antique

Sat:
Mule
D.Marley
Sister Sparrow
LN: Pretty Lights

Sun:
Allmans
Anders

So when would Tedeschi Trucks play? Same day as ABB? Or do they split up their gigs? Does Jackie Greene, Chris Robinson Brotherhood & Bob Weir all play the same day? If so then we are looking at Friday. Why do I see Jeff Tweedy playing on Sunday? They will prob split up Franti & Marley, so Franti on Fri or Sun most likely. Last year most of the Pollstar rumors were true, so these are good possibilities. What about Avetts? Played Fri last year & Sat in 2011. Due for Sunday maybe? I'm thinking Saturday, but I could be wrong. Keep the rumors coming. Lets figure it out.

I see Jackie Greene playing his set late night Thursday and then sticking around for sit ins later in the weekend. I think both Antibalas and Beats playing late night Friday. May be an Avett set prior to ABB on Sunday. Would trucks play before Mule? or before Ratdog?

[Jeff]

Any idea when the next announcement will be?

[saxjam6]

my schedule prediction is:

Thursday:
Pretty Lights (LN)
Umphreys
DSO
Antibalas (LN)

Friday:
RatDog
jeff Tweedy
CRB
Jackie Greene (LN)
Trampled By Turtles

Saturday:
Mule
Beats Antique(LN)
Michael Franti
Avett Bros

Sunday:
Additional Headliner (ABB?)
Anders Osborne
Damian Marley
TTB
Blitzen Trapper

Just some specualtion, based on just having a good variety each day.

The announcement for additional bands last year was February 26th They actually released the Lumineers separate on Feb 20th & the rest on the 26th. Maybe they will do that with ABB. Wouldn't it be funny if it wasn't ABB? We all think it's automatic. It has to be them, being their last year on tour. I would be disappointed if it wasn't. Pumped to see them. Haven't seen them in a while. I'm pretty positive they will be there though.

[ferret]

Seen them a BUNCH through the years and think it WILL be ABB thats added but truthfully I HOPE it isnt!

Either way we'll be there and loving being on the Mountain again! 

[sparkdog]

I agree there's a huge chance the last headliner is the Allmans given this is their last year and Warren still has some involvement in MJ. That pixelated picture alone is very similar to b&w promo photo ABB uses. Plus, the Peach Festival announcement is careful to say that will be their only appearance in "PA/NJ this summer." Leaves open NY.

That being said, if it is the Allmans, MJ & Peach Fest start looking a bit alike from a headliner standpoint, plus TTB and you know Mule will be added to Peach Fest.

[Jeff]

I am more curious about the additional 9 other bands that will be added. The other major headliner is a given, ABB. I love the Bros, but sort of hope it isn't them either. Either way, looking forward to 4 days!

[jetro315]

Surprised to hear people say they hope it isn't Allmans. I know they are playing other festivals, but they are done after the year so I think it should be pretty sweet. They haven't played the mountain in a while either. Personally, this is the only festival I will be hitting up, so I am excited to see them go out with a bang. Looks like Robert Randolph & the Family Band is a definite add, according to pollstar.com, who is pretty reliable. Nothing wrong with that!

[Jayrod]

Yes. Thanks Jetro, you just took the words right out of my mouth!

[crewfan]

For this festival the only headliner I would like to see instead of ABB is Neil Young.

[Jeff]

I am not necessarily saying I dont want ABB, but it resembles a lot of the other festivals. I have seen the ABB quite a few times, always a killer show. Either way, going to be a great festival.

[jetro315]

I hear ya bro. But Allmans have major ties with Mountain Jam obviously, just like they have major ties with Peach(since it's their festival). So it's only fitting that they play at both. I'm more bummed out about Ratdog being the other headliner. I mean, I like Bobby and everything, and will enjoy his set but would much rather see someone like String Cheese, Neil Young or MMJ. It's def gonna be a blast either way though. I am super pumped for the 9 other bands too! Hope they announce it soon. It was Feb 26 last year, so if it's the same we have a couple more weeks. Another thing I was thinking about is.....did they ever announce that there will be 40 bands this year? I only assumed 10 more bands b/c there were 40 last year. 43 to be exact I think. Maybe they have more bands this year? What if they had 50? Could announce more than 10.

[Jeff]

Exactly, but with Steve Kimock, Ratdog goes up a notch in my book.
