This week we welcome another Rock and Roll Hall of Famer to the eternal stage, our headliner, Mike Pinder of the Moody Blues. Then it’s off to the Main Stage for some American rockabilly. We debut our new stage, The Streets, with rap from Britain and Norway, before heading to the Amphitheater for a double shot of organ recitals. We’ll also visit the House of Blues with a couple Americans, closing out the show in the Jazz Cellar in the USA and Germany.
