How do you cover a festival that has no official lineup? This year's Eaux Claires Music & Arts Festival is asking fans to roll with the surprises, and we're ready to roll too. We'll be broadcasting live from the festival grounds on Friday and Saturday — and we'll also be podcasting all week long.

On the podcast, you'll hear from hosts including Brian Oake, Jill Riley, and Mac Wilson; and writers like Jay Gabler, Cecilia Johnson, and Maia Jacobson. We'll be sharing updates on all the crazy collaborations and unforgettable moments — including informed commentary, crowd reactions, and interviews with musicians performing at Eaux Claires.

We're calling the podcast Eaux Hey; you can find it now on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, iHeart Media and soon, Spotify. You can also tune in to The Current for live broadcasts from the festival. Mac will be on from 2-6 p.m. CDT on Friday, July 6; and Jill and Brian will be on from 3-7 p.m. CDT on Saturday, July 7.
