Jane’s Addiction, Furthur, Elvis Costello head Gathering of the Vibes 2011
By Alex Young on March 14th, 2011 in FestivalI think someone on my Facebook news feed summed it up best: here’s the most surprising festival lineup of 2011. The jam-centric Gathering of the Vibes Music Festival will return for its 16th incarnation July 21-24 at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, CT, and it will bring with it jamheads Furthur, the legendary Elvis Costello (who will be backed by the Imposters), and… Jane’s Addiction. Really, really.
The rest of the lineup is a bit more by the book: moe., Levon Helm Band, John Butler Trio, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Dark Star Orchestra, and Dr. John and the Lower 911 are among the other confirmed notables, while acts like The New Mastersounds and Big Gigantic will hold down the late night stage.
A second round of 2011 acts will be made within the next 2 weeks, and you can keep track of all the latest updates at our GOTV Festival Outlook page.
Advanced camping and VIP passes are priced at $205.00 and $420.00, respectively, and are now available via the festival’s website.

Jane’s Addiction to Honor Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan
Jane’s Addiction will be one of several bands performing at this year’s MusiCares event. This year’s honoree is Depeche Mode front man Dave Gahan. From Spinner.com:
Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan to be Honored by Jane’s Addiction for MusiCares
Posted on Mar 7th 2011 6:59PM by Steve BaltinGrammy Week 2011 has come and gone, but the Recording Academy’s MusiCares — the charitable wing of the organization dedicated to helping musicians in need — is a year-round endeavor. And it takes center stage on May 6 in Los Angeles when Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan (pictured) and Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman follow in the footsteps of past honorees like Chris Cornell, Slash, Metallica’s James Hetfield and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis in being honored for their sobriety and work for musicians.
Founded in 1989, MusiCares started as a source of aid for musicians seeking recovery from their substance abuse problems, but has expanded in recent years to become more of a general aid to musicians in distress. Because of its role in helping artists, it has continually attracted some of music’s biggest names — including Tom Waits, Metallica, Alice in Chains and more — to perform at the annual MusiCares MAP Fund Benefit Concert.
This year is no exception as the night’s entertainment — which will feature Gahan being presented the Stevie Ray Vaughan award and performing with Victor Indrizzo — will be highlighted by performances from Jane’s Addiction, Ozomatli and Paramore (acoustic).
“The MusiCares MAP Fund is an unbelievably important and courageous organization,” said Gahan in a release. “They continue to make a momentous commitment to the music community, and I am proud to support their ongoing work in raising awareness and funds.”
It is indeed a great cause and often offers some unique musical moments, particularly when honorees are feted musically by other performers. So might we see a bit of Jane’s Addiction rocking ‘Blasphemous Rumors,’ bringing together two continents of alternative music history? We can only hope.
General admission tickets will be available via Ticketmaster outlets starting March 11.
Additionally, it sounds like Martyn LeNoble will also be appearing and performing according to what he posted on Facebook:
My dear friend Dave Gahan will receive the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award for being awesome and I will have the honor of playing some songs with him (and Victor Indrizzo and Vincent Jones)

Fourteen bands were announced to play the April 30 festival at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco.

A new addition this year are floor seats on the pitch of Pizza Hut Park and a smaller pit area than traditionally set up. We like the change, but we’re super lazy anyway and almost always pick seating when possible.

Sitek, best known for his production work on TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Foals, will be writing and playing bass on the new album.
The band—who wrote the rule book for alternative music and culture through a combination of genre-defying classic songs and a cinematic live experience–is recording their fourth studio album in Los Angeles, tentatively scheduled for a summer of 2011 release on Capitol Records.
“Dave, Steve and I are fully immersed in the process of making modern music,” says Perry Farrell. “It has been a great experience thus far, and the results have so much potential.”
“This process has been both inspiring and incredibly freeing,” says Dave Navarro. “The events over the last year have proven themselves to be a necessary part of the journey as they have led us to our current creative team and direction.”
