Wasting no time as soon as Wing- er, Spring Break was over, they've announced the date for Kaboom is Sat May 21st. No artists announced yet.  Prepare for the usual onslaught of hype...

What perfect timing!  Have they announced a featured artist yet?  Oh, how I wish I still had my pad on the Embarcadero ...

That was the day we had last agreed to.  Maybe we can do more of an afternoon thing & people can head downtown after.  That would give y'all extra incentive to take BART to Castro Valley, then BARTing back to the Embarcadero would be a no-brainer.

Typically the headliner comes on around 7:00 & fire works start a little after 9:00.

My suggestion is to wait & see who the musical talent is. If it's someone good we might want to move the gathering to the pier, and if it's not I could just as easily show up late just for the fireworks, or blow 'em off entirely & continue the festivities at Chez 'Shray.

I agree.

If Dave knows who this year's featured artist is, he's holding the cards close to his chest.  Not even a hint in his promo just before 10@10 today.

I checked Pollstar, as in the past they've posted artists and dates before the station spilled the news, but nothing so far for May 21.

I also checked Jet's routings, and they haven't announced any dates in the US til June, when they commence opening shows for Oasis. So I wouldn't rule them out entirely, but they don't have anything booked at all in that time-frame, and I'd expect that they'd have at least a few dates booked around then.

They're supposed to bust the secret on who's playing next Monday. So we should be able to start making more def. plans after that.

I'm with you on that one.

The opening act, Kathleen Edwards, is quite good. But I'm not sure it would be worth trying to negotiate thousands of rampaging Fogheads (and cutting short the doin's at Chez 'Shray) just to hear her do a 30 or 40 minute set on a windy pier. Will hope she books a date someplace else in the area that weekend.

Anyone have any clues on the John Butler Trio? They're the support act on the bill.
