After staging what basically amounted to their own mini-fests every other year on 311 Day, Nick Hexum and crew finally took the dive this year and started a full fledged311 music festival – the Pow Wow. While the lineup is filled with past and current tourmates, the real highlight for attendees will be the four sets that the band plays throughout their three day stand at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida. One of the sets will see the band playing Transistor all the way through – a first in their long career.
So what does it take for a band to be worthy of their own festival? The perfect candidate would be a great live act with a solid and extensive back catalog – especially a band ready and willing to dig deep in their shows. For this reason, most of the bands mentioned here deserve their own festival, love ‘em or hate ‘em. Wilco, Phish, Dave Matthews Band, 311, Pearl Jam, Disco Biscuits – all of these bands fit the qualifications perfectly.
