Jackson Hole, Wyoming Concert This Summer?

UPDATE: The following story has been retracted by the Jackson Hole Underground. So much for "several well-placed industry sources". Won't get fooled again.

From Jackson Hole Underground:

Neil Young, one of the icons of classic rock and long a favorite of Wyoming music fans, is slated to perform in Jackson Hole on Saturday, Aug. 16, according to several well-placed industry sources.

Young will be one of the headliners at the nascent Jackson Hole Music Festival. The two-day event will be held at or near Teton Village.

Still a work in progress, the concert is being produced by The Festival Network, which puts on the JVC Jazz Fests in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Newport, R.I. A subsidiary of the company produces the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

Festival Network executives visited Jackson Hole earlier this winter and met with local officials, according to a person who took part in the discussions.

The idea of a Jazz Fest-type event at Teton Village has been discussed for years, but this is the most serious planning effort yet, the person said.

The Web page for the Jackson Hole Music Festival says details are coming soon. Young’s site lists Aug. 16 among his upcoming tour dates but does not specify a venue.

Already a considerable buzz has been spreading around the valley.

Neil's tour page does not actually display a tour date -- it only indicates a full moon on that day.

So could there be more Continental summer dates if this rumor proves true?

And will this be the Toast tour?

More on Neil 's summer tour plans. Hopefully, accurate.
