We're a week away from Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 2017, and the full schedule has now been released, so you can begin your planning ahead.
We had the lineup already a couple weeks back, but now we see that Billy Bragg goes on quite early in the weekend, at 2:35 on Friday, and that First Aid Kit and Conor Oberst are indeed doing separate sets on the Rooster Stage, at 4:30 and 5:45 respectively. Brandi Carlile, meanwhile, will headline the Swan Stage at 5:30 on Friday.
Patti Griffin and Gillian Welch will be on simultaneously on different stages on Saturday, at 4:10/4:15, and Henry Rollins goes on at 5:05 on the La Victrola Platform.
On Sunday, Big Freedia goes on at 1:20 p.m. on the Towers of Gold Stage, and she's followed by Ornette's Prime Time Band Reunion and Cheap Trick, who go on at 4:50.
Randy Newman is on at 12:30 Sunday on the Swan Stage, and Lucinda Williams headlines that stage at 5:50. Meanwhile Will Durst and Jello Biafra will be on the La Victrola Platform at 3:45 and 5:15 respectively. (Biafra also does an opening set at 11:45 a.m. Sunday.) Last but never least, Emmylou Harris will be on the Banjo Stage closing things out at 5:45 p.m.
Check out our guide to going to Hardly Strictly, and see more details below. The fun kicks off at noon on Friday, October 6.
For a map of the stages, you can download the mobile app, or there'll be a print-at-home kit online starting Monday. Here's last year's map, which is likely to be the same, except they seem to have renamed the Arrow Stage the La Victrola Platform.
