The Allman Brothers Band’s Wanee Festival usually takes place in April, so we thought perhaps they were taking the year off to focus on the Beacon run. Turns out they’ve just delayed it a few months. This year’s Wanee Festival will take place at Spirit of the Suwannee Park in Live Oak, Florida on June 5 and 6 and features nearly every Allmans-related band along with HT favorites Little Feat, Umphrey’s McGee, The Doobies and more.

Tickets go onsale for the reasonable price of $138 on March 7. We’ll have more on the Allmans at 5PM today, so keep your eyes peeled on HT.

Let’s take one last look at what we missed this week…

• Jane’s Addiction cracks open the vault for a new box set
• MMJ drummer Patrick Hallahan joins Dan Auerbach’s band
• Ticketmaster’s CEO says even they don’t get the good seats
• JoJo Hermann of WSP talks to Jambase about his solo band
• Here’s an old David Gans interview with GD archivist Dick L.
• Ben Kweller stops by the WNEW studios for an acoustic set

Finally, the Voodoo Experience festival will return to New Orleans on Halloween weekend again this year. No word yet on the lineup.
