The full schedule is not up yet, though most of the shows will appear on their venue websites. This isn't the full band list either. Another 10 artists or so remain. Plus the Rock'n'Roll Lottery.

We are going to have badges this year, which will get you into all shows, pending availability. Should be $30 (barring any last minute changes) and we will likely sell 150 or so of them. Hopefully going on sale by the end of next week.

Much more info on all this next week, but, since you are my people, wanted to give you the heads up.

Well done Redsock. Was it hard securing the Synagogue?

No, they came to us. Securing bands to play at the Synagogue, that's another story all together.

Additional bands added:
Stellastarr*
Pela
Exit Clov
Dragons of Zynth
The Teeth
Greenland

Just a few more to go. Passes will be $30 and will allow folks into the Cat Power also, pending availability.

I thought no repeats?! Nice to hear about Pela and the Teeth. When are the passes going on sale?

Only 6 repeats, and only half of those played the festival proper. Passes should be on sale Monday morning, but check www.damfestival.org to be sure.

The Pela booking caught my eye, but alas your festival dates are almost exactly the same dates I'll be away on vacation.

A Place To Bury Strangers are playing, too?

They are playing the Synagogue at 6th and I on 10/13, along with Stellstarr and Exit Clov.

Excellent; I can easily see a badge paying for itself

damn, damn, damn, DAM! The only day I'll be completely out of town, though as long as I get some Big Sleep action I'll be alright….

Was Land of Talk ever an option, or was the Decemberist tour in Europe already booked when they were approached? Were they approached?

Have the big sleep gotten better since that show where they opened for the thermals last spring? I remember their set starting off really strong but losing a bunch of steam about halfway through.

What does this mean, exactly? I'm not familiar with DAM, but I'm assuming it means you'll get in as long as the show isn't at capacity from standard ticket holders. Does this mean those with badges will be admitted last?

The only show where this may be an issue is Cat Power.

Awesome. I'm there. Where/when can I buy tickets to this show? EDIT: Oh, nevermind, I see I have to buy a badge for the whole festival. So where do I buy one of those?

And why isn't this show listed at http://www.damfestival.org/schedule.php ?

Actually, it is. And was up earlier today at some point.

You can also buy tickets via ticketmaster HERE.

Regarding badges, all info about them, on sale date (Wednesday) and show availability will be on the DAMFest site on Monday morning. Our goal is to get as many badge holders into shows as possible. The Cat Power show will be limited, but even if the show sells out ahead of time, a limited amount of badge holders will still get in.

And Mr. azaghal1981
"The only show where this may be an issue is Cat Power."

We're hoping/thinking at least a couple of these shows will actually sell out. The full schedule will be up on Monday as well, but to a large extent the shows are already listed on their individual venue's webpage.
