Last Friday, the folks at Wakarusa announced that the initial 2010 lineup would be released on Thursday, Jan. 14. That’s today.
The announcement, they noted, would be made exclusively to Wakarusa’s Facebook fans prior to any other release. As it turns out, there was no need to actually become a “fan” as the announcement was posted on their wall.
For those who jumped at the chance to find out early, the following is no surprise. However, if you missed out on all the fun of refreshing your browser over and over again this morning, here ya go:

Early reaction on the Wakarusa Facebook page has been mixed in the first ten minutes since the announcement. Of the first 40 reactions, only 13 seem to be impressed. “Well..thats saves me a trip to Arkansas,” reads a comment from Jack Coleman.
“Headliners will come later guys. dont get ur panties in a wad,” says Brian White. White’s comment is probably pretty accurate. Last year’s initial lineup was very similar and it wasn’t until the third official lineup announcement was made that The Black Crowes were mentioned.
