I'm certainly not traveling for this, but if I were in Minnesota, I'd probably attend.... any Zoners in Minnesota-land?
Here's the text from the link:
The 2018 Revival Music Festival will return to Harmony Music Park Garden in Clarks Grove, Minnesota May 26 – 27. Organizers of the 5th annual event have just unveiled the initial lineup for Revival ’18, which will be headlined by Phil Lesh & The Terrapin Family Band.
Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh hasn’t played Minnesota in quite some time, so his set at Revival with guitarists Grahame Lesh and Ross James as well as drummer Alex Koford and multi-instrumentalist Jason Crosby will be a rare treat for Deadheads in the area. Twiddle, Keller Williams, Keller & The Keels, Midnight North, The Big Wu and Clouser/Medeski/Bates are also among the acts confirmed for Revival ’18. Check out the image below for the full lineup.
Early Bird GA/Pre-party/VIP/1-Day Tickets are available here through February 14th when prices will increase and the full lineup will be released. Reserved Camping and RV Options are also available until they are gone. Leftover Salmon has been tapped to play the pre-party on May 25. Early camping is available for an additional fee on May 24.

Big Wu is totally worthy and
Big Wu is totally worthy and unsung in the National Jam Band Scene.
I saw their debut in SF at SF State probably 15 years ago and they kicked ass.
They never broke big but have dominated the upper midwest region for decades.
Great songs, jams and leads in this band.

I was at the Big Wu Family
I was at the Big Wu Family thing in '99 at Harmony Park to see DNB.
Pretty cool venue, only there for 1 day/night.
Left the fest to see DNB in Wisconsin the next night.
I'm pretty sure that's was the first time seeing Stu Allen.
He played with the Jones Gang? I think.
Big Wu definitely threw down.

Been a Huge Big Wu fan from way back
When the audio archive on Archive.Org was just getting started, they were an early contributor, long before a Gazillion bands got in there.
Have not really kept up, but happy to hear that they still keep playing.

OMG! Phil at Harmony Park!
OMG! Phil at Harmony Park! We've been to lots of early Harmony Park fesivals in the late 90's... I used to sell my "Harmonic Soup", a veggie-miso-noodle-TVP brew that was good any time of the day or night - $2 a bowl, such a deal! Yes, Stu played there lots. Yes, Big Wu are fabulous and played there lots, used to have their annual Family Reunions there. This sounds incredible! But anyone thinking of going, beware of the mosquitoes!
