The first round of 2013 music festivals have started to confirm their lineups. Phoenix, AZ’s McDowell Mountain Music Festival will take place from March 22-24 at at Margaret T. Hance Park in downtown Phoenix March 22, 23, 24, 2013. For the past six years, the roots music and jam festival has taken place at the Westworld Complex in Scottsdale, AZ. The festival’s initial lineup includes The Roots, Balkan Beat Box, Heartless Bastards, Dr. Dog and Yonder Mountain String Band. Additional acts will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Though the festival’s new location has does not include camping, the festival’s website lists several nearby camping options. Here’s a look at the festival’s initial lineup:

Yes I do. I have paid attention to it for years but it just has never worked out to go other than one day two years ago. It has gone through a lot of changes from being at a polo grounds with camping and having fairly decent sized jam oriented headliners. They got kicked out of there and had it in the parking lot of the production companies music venue for three years and their acts they were able to book took a major hit. Their venue closed last year so they needed a new place to go.
This park downtown that they are moving to is a major improvement over the parking lot but from what I've heard not quiet as nice as the original venue. I would expect some good to great national acts to be added to the lineup, along with the best of the best of local Arizona bands. I will if at possible be at least at Friday and Sunday.
They also are going to be having latenight shows at the nearby Crescent Ballroom which many of you have heard me talk about as the best venue in Arizona and the best club venue I have been to anywhere.
Ya actually one of the annoying things about the new location is there isn't many decent places to stay near by that aren't super fancy or ghetto. Probably 3-4 miles to the nearest hotel that isn't $100+ a night or will run the risk of stabbing. Depending on how the announcements go i might just do Sunday and maybe Friday and drive home (aprx 2 hours). We'll see
Sounds like Tucson's Dead Cover band Top Dead Center will be filling one of the local band spots. I've only seen 'em once but as far as local cover bands they are pretty decent
Added Umph, Iration, and Orgone. Plus they rearranged the schedule in a perfect way for me. I''m probably going to skip Friday now. Also 2 Deer Tick sets!
