I thought it was in Central, too. That explains how I get home quicker than I thought.

I know all the other information is in the other thread, but I can't find it easily so this is going here. I asked about the schedule on their FB page:

When are you going to post show times and a grounds map? It's less than a week away and folks need to know how to plan their day....

MI Fest: Michigan's Music Festival Schedule will be up tomorrow. Check the site in the AM to get the details. Thanks for your patience!

They're obviously ignoring you over there.

Here's a poster from facebook. No real details yet though.

Line-up schedule has been posted: http://mi-fest.com/line-up.html

Still no map of the stages, etc, though.

So, an A stage, a B stage, and a Third Man stage. Everybody will jam the A stage when the other two shut down. Sigh.

Hmmmm, what to do with the other 8 hours of the festival when I'm not watching these bands..... At least it gives me time to get in line and buy my ICP tri-color.

I would think a large chunk of the crowd may leave after Sheryl Crow.

^^ From your mouth to God's ears. If only.

Despite the tough economy and novel location, he says, the fest is on target to reach its goal of 10,000 concertgoers.

It appears that the second stage has been canceled, and all sorts of rumors seem to be swirling, pardon the pun (see their Facebook page). Nothing of all this on the official site.

Idiots. They didn't cut a stage based on what is up on their website, but only have 3 bands playing the one stage in the afternoon/early evening. It always said that the artists and times were subject to change....not that it makes anyone feel better. Sort of glad the Thornbills aren't on the list anymore, not so much a fan.
