Flower and Garden Festival.... Flower Power concert artists been announced yet?

[UnderTheMistletoe]

Does anyone know if the Flower Power concert series artists have been announced yet? If so, where can I find the information? We'll be at Disney May 19-25th. Last time, I missed out on Davey Jones (always had a thign for the Monkee's, too!) and I was so disappointed... not doing that again!

Much thanks!

Thanks for posting. Phooey, we miss Peter Noone this year. He hasn't participated in the past few years, so am glad to see him back. Since we are there April 23-May 5, we don't see anyone we are interested in, though with enough margritas, I'm sure they'll all sound good to me, and bring back happy days.

Thanks for posting that information about the groups in concert. Actually, I don't see too many groups I would want to miss. They all bring back some good time memories. I know I embarrass my kids by singing along, but where else can adults retrieve their childhoods, except WDW. Looking forward to catching a couple of these concerts and snatching a few nostalgic moments along the way.

n2mm,
I saw Nelson last year and they were great! Of course, I was a fan in the early 90s when they were at their peak. I was hoping to catch them again this year, but we're not going until the end of May.

I'm a fan of them too! We are never at Epcot though the same time they are. We always miss them by a week or two. This year it seems like they are there earlier than usual.

However, I am going to see them TONIGHT at a casino about a half hour away from my house!

If you keep it handy, you'll always know who's playing and when.

I have to say that I stumbled across this post this morning and I'm glad I did.
I saw "The Association" when they played during the Flower & Garden Festival in '98 and they were awesome. I hadn't really even heard of them, but I knew a lot of their songs. I also saw "The Buckinghams," but they were nowhere near as entertaining as the Association. I taped both bands because I happen to be there the last night the Association was playing and then again the next night when the Buckinghams started their 3 or so day run.
I think the Association played Epcot again in 2000 or 2001 and I drove down from Georgia (almost 6 hours from where I live). The thing was, a friend wanted to go with me. I thought that would be cool, but when we got down there, he was complaining the night before we were supposed to go to Epcot and all the next morning about how he'd been to Epcot when he was 13 and how boring it was...yada yada yada. I kept telling him that it was way cooler now, especially if you're an adult. Anyway, he complained to the point that when we got to the parking booth at Epcot, I turned around and headed to the MK. It was a mistake because: 1) I had gone down just to see the Association and tape them again, and 2) it was a Monday (in Spring/Summer), and the MK was slammed.
It's really a shame how co-dependent I've sometimes been. I can't believe that I would let someone else ruin it for me. Next time, I'll stick to my guns.
And...if the Association is playing this year, which I haven't been able to confirm totally, then I'll be there.
I also want to see Davy Jones (saw him with the Monkees twice in '86!). Oh, and Turtles would be good, too.
