No web site yet. GW was trying to pull this off for November this year but couldn't find a suitable venue. It will now be October next year at a venue (TBD) somewhere between New York and DC. He will have a website soon. He has a commitment from all the bands listed as of now. However, a lot can happen in the next 15 months. This will be a 4 day festival. There are 3 more bands to be announced. That is all that I know.

I'm glad in a way that it didn't happen this year. I wouldn't have been able to go.

As seen on the "other" site tonight.


Greg Walker over email, last night:

"Farfest is a done deal. It is October 4th - 7th at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware. As soon as the website is complete (hopefully this week) then we will make the official announcement which will include info on bands, tickets, hotels etc..."

So wait for his official post on this prog-rock festival, with the full lineup.

If you wanna know where's the venue, here's a map link: http://g.co/maps/wvmh8

The unofficial lineup, circulated in forums, looked like this:
Alphataurus
Anekdoten
Anglagard
Arti E Mestieri
Atoll
Locanda Delle Fate
Maxophone
Pulsar
SBB
Shylock
Wobbler

Seems like a great event to attend.

Actually there is an update since that one. Cressida has replaced Anglagard. Also, note the addition of Latte e Miele. Cut and pasted from the progressive ears website these bands are as of now all slated to play:

Alphataurus (Italy)
Anekdoten (Sweden)
Atoll (France)
Cressida (United Kingdom)
Latte E Miele (Italy)
Locanda Delle Fate (Italy)
Maxophone (Italy)
Pulsar (France)
SBB (Poland)
Shylock (France)
Wobbler (Norway)


I doubt I will be going but it looks like a very strong lineup of mostly symph prog from days gone by. It should be very enjoyable for those who go.
