I can't find where to see the list of performers. I'm most interested in seeing Kim Simmonds. His website says he is performing Fri, Sat and Sun. When and where, please.

Mikey,
We've added the detailed schedule above. It looks like Kim Simmonds is performing on Friday at 9:50 pm on the Peavey stage, Saturday at 4:30 pm on the Fender stage and on Sunday at 1 pm on the Fuller's Vintage Stage.
You can see the additional dates above the map. Thanks.
