• 7:24 — headliner The Smithereens ( … Jersey legends, with heavy guitars and an unabashed fetish for British Invasion pop …)

NOTE: Schedule subject to change. If weather interrupts the schedule we pick up the schedule as per the “clock.” In other words, if it pours rain from 4 pm to 5:45, we pick up the schedule with whatever band is scheduled to be playing at 5:45. We stepped it up to a professional covered stage in 2010, so light or moderate rain shouldn’t stop us.

Updates to the schedule will be announced in real-time on our Twitter channel — twitter.com/maplewoodstock
