Scott Avett of The Avett Brothers during one of the North Carolina band’s two shows in Northwest Arkansas this year. I was lucky enough to see several dozen concerts in Northwest Arkansas this year. I watched some outside of this area, too, and many of those were excellent as well

No doubt about it, The Avett Brothers are performing at Wakarusa. Above is their song “Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise.”
With two of the three Wakarusa lineup announcements already made, the biggest question that remained was in regard to the artist that will fill a vacancy near the top of the list, ranked just below Pretty Lights and just above Primus.
Well, as of a few minutes ago, we know that other headliner: The Avett Brothers, who are wrapping up work on a new album.
The folk rock act from North Carolina will visit Mulberry Mountain near Ozark sometime between May 31 and June 3. Those are the four days that Wakarusa will invade Franklin County for its fourth annual event in Arkansas.
Also joining the bill are Matisyahu, The Travelin’ McCourys, Ghostland Observatory, Slightly Stoopid and many more.
Four-day event passes are $149. Prices for camping or day parking vary according to distance from the main stage area. Other price packages, such as VIP tickets, are also available through the ticketing website.
Now that we know the full lineup, what do think? How does Wakarusa 2012 compare to other years?
