Vegoose is coming to Las Vegas.
I have not been this excited about seeing a concert since Phish and their final Coventry shows last summer in Vermont. And that was just one band. I’m expecting to see a couple a dozen more stretched out over a period of four or five days. Right now, the buzz in Las Vegas is all about the upcoming Vegoose music festival.
I just found out that a few more acts have been added to the Vegoose lineup at Sam Boyd Stadium on October 29 and 30. Slightly Stoopid, Col. Bruce Hampton & the Codetalkers, Beans featuring Holy Fuck, King Britt Presents Sister Gertrude Morgan, and Steel Train are all expected to appear at Vegoose.

If you are one of the unlucky folks who cannot attend Vegoose, you can still be a part of the action if you check out their live webcast! Visit the SBC blue room at blueroom.sbc.com, where they shall be hosting a live webcast of Vegoose on October 29th & 30th. Supposedly, you can come back and visit the blue room to see the archived footage of Vegoose performances including some scenes from backstage and other random goodies.
The real fun will happen when the sun goes down! The Vegoose at Night Concert Series should be the highlight for me especially Widespread Panic on Halloween. There will be special performances from Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, Galactic and STS9. Some bands/artists will be playing at both Sam Boyd Stadium for Vegoose and late night shows. Those include: Widespread Panic, Ween, Trey Anastasio, String Cheese Incident, and Phil Lesh & Friends with Ryan Adams. I’m pumped because I have tickets to Widespread Panic and Trey!
