Does anyone know anything about this festival, such as how long the headliners get?  That is a compelling crop of headliners, particularly with Richard Thompson's local appearances being sparse over the last few years.  The rest of the lineup seems pretty uncompelling.

I went a bunch of years ago and saw Thompson and Roger McGuinn. Basically each headliner is the final act of one night, and they played at least 90 minutes from what I recall. You can do the full three-day hippie camping experience or just get lawn passes for a single night - fun time.

IOTA shows:

The Fleshtones
May 29

Megafaun
June 8

Richard Buckner
June 12

The Handsome Family
June 18

I went last year and did the camping thing.  It's like bellenseb said, the headliners get a nice long set.  It's definitely full of latter-day hippies, and all that goes with that (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).  Generally a good vibe with lots of friendly people.

Finally a show that is going to get me to check out Iota:

Previously on Lost - May 17

For those of you who are LOST fans, this will definitely be worth going to.  POL are a "recap" rock band whose albums include a song per episode review of Season 4 as one album, and an EP of songs inspired by the first half of season 5.  I havent seen or heard of any Season 6 songs, but this show might feature some.

Talib/BC weirdness was already discussed pages upon pages ago.

Yes, should be a 930 show.

Now that one is super bizarre.
Kohoutek should open. ;D

interesting, we have moved from natural DC shows to natural 930 shows…

what's next?  "that should be a natural backbar 930 show…."

Lightning Bolt is totally a natural backbar show.
