For those of us stuck in the bitter beginning of mud season in the northeast - here's a nice shot of the Langerado festival. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals will be playing on Sunday.

Update from Live Music Blog:</a>

<blockquote>
Welcome to sunny…err I mean rainy South Florida for the sixth annual Langerado Festival. With crowds anticipated to reach close to 25,000, this will be the largest, longest, and most ginormous one to date. Even though there have been three major cancellations (and lots of groans of disappointment) in Vampire Weekend, Robert Randolph, and The Balkan Beat Box, this fest still has plenty of weight. With rain pelting the majority of South Florida today, lines of cars are already backed up both ways on the “Alligator Alleyâ€ (I-75) with wait times of over three hours. This could easily become a muddy mess, with more rain and thunderstorms heading our way on Saturday. Either way, I will be there providing reviews, comments, funny pictures of wooks (if I can get some), amongst other thoughts. Hitting Walmart for a poncho, beer, boots, and water and then I’ll be on my way.</blockquote>
