Moments ago, the folks at AEG announced the line-up for this year's Mile High Music Festival. This year looks like it's going to be a doozy. Here are just some of the acts that you can look forward to seeing this summer on the two main stages at either end of the park or a number of smaller stages in between: Tool, Widespread Panic, the Fray, Gov't Mule, Incubus, Ben Harper, G Love and Special Sauce, Ani DeFranco, the Black Keys, Paulo Nutini, Gomez, Greyboy Allstars, Railroad Earth, Indie.Arie, Gogol Bordello, Buddy Guy, John Butler, Matisyahu, the Wailers, Lyrics Born, Matt Karney and Dead Confederate, among others. As previously reported, the Fray will be performing on Sunday, as will 3OH!3, and as you'll see from the full line-up posted after the jump, a few local acts such as Paper Bird and Set Forth have gotten the nod.

Single day tickets and two-day passes go on sale next Friday, April 3 through TicketHorse.com for $90 (plus service charges) or $162.50 (plus services charges), respectively. There's a layaway program in place that will allow you to purchase a two-day pass in two even installments (including splitting the service charges). A carpool package will also be available for $650, which includes four two-day passes and special carpool parking. ~~If you're a KBCO interactive member, you can get the jump this Friday, March 27 at 10 a.m. during an exclusive pre-sale.~~ Westword insiders can get their hands on tickets this Wednesday, April 1, during another exclusive pre-sale.
