Why it matters
Oteil leading a tribute-style set and doing two performances makes this one of the more buzzed-about stops of the Jampacked run. Big Something — fresh off a spring touring push — is a regular on the festival circuit, and fans in the Reddit jambands thread were hyped about the Richmond date and hoping for more regional shows.
Fan notes from the thread: folks called out missing markets (Michigan, Nashville), shouted out Pittsburgh and Cleveland shows, and remembered catching Big Something at late-night offsite shows years ago — the usual mix of nostalgia and “this one’s gonna be a party.”
If you’re headed to Richmond, expect some deep jams and a party vibe. Check the festival’s official channels for tickets and set times — we’ll follow up if more regional dates pop up.
