moe

Where it's happening:
Three Sisters Park, Chillicothe, Ill. (about 4.5-hour drive). When it's happening:
May 25-27. Who's making it happen:
moe (three nights), Umphrey's McGee (two nights), Keller Williams (WMD's), Les Claypool, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Galactic, The Wailers. What it'll cost you:
$120 advanced, $135 at the gate. What WEEKEND thinks:
Umphrey's and moe are like the Welch's and Smuckers of the jam scene. They often tour together and transition from one band to another, one musician at a time. As one member's guitarist leaves, the other's gets on stage, etc. Both have extensive histories of playing in Bloomington (moe played an acoustic set in Borders last semester). Don't miss it if....
You don't like the commercialization of festivals and prefer a more laid-back, jam band scene. Who knows, you could find yourself on mushrooms with a tornado approaching as the drummer from Phish attempts to seduce you. You laugh, but it's happened. See who's coming to Summerfest
