The Internets are all abuzz these days about the potential for multi-day festivals featuring Dave Matthews Band and Phish, swapping out headlining spots that cap off a day-long music lineup. While we know the DMB part of this is absolutely true, there is rampant speculation regarding who else is on-bard, a number of different locations and dates for these festivals. Among them:
Bader Field, a festival site near Atlantic City, NJ - June
Watkins Glen Motor Speedway - July 4th Weekend
Chicago Grant Park - August*
Gorge, Washington State - Labor Day Weekend

The results are offered in InfoGraphic form below, and they don't bode well for this rumored festival.
