Note: The Mile of Music lineup is subject to change.
While i realize she’s been there two years in a row, bringing Megan Slankard back again would, I believe, bestow wealth, health and miles of blessings to the coordinators of the miles of music. Please consider it – she is worth it!!
Loved seeing Mike & the Moonpies last year, hope they make it back! Would also love to see more street food options around Houdini Plaza.
Dylan LeBlanc is going to just kill it!
Can you please bring back Los Colognes. One of the best bands in the last 4 years. Also, can you have them play on a outside main stage and more then one day. Thank you.
