Keller Williams’ name has since disappeared from the website’s lineup listing. However, there is currently no official word on whether he will or will not be in attendance.

About 80 more bands will be added in the coming days and months. The Lawrence, Kansas festival will take place between June 5-8, 2008. Because of an agreement with the state of Kansas, the event has a smaller capacity than most other U.S. music festivals.
