Is this the first year with the new owners? Or was that last year? I haven't been impressed with Voodoo in the recent past and was hoping the new owners would do something better, but apparently not.

This sounds like a nightmare of a music festival. I went years ago, and it was pretty bad then too, with long lines, bad food etc.

-no bathrooms available and the ones that were were filled to the top with shite.




I loved the way they set up the bathrooms this year. I probably pissed 20 times in 20 different porta potties and none of them were even close to being full. The line was only 1 deep every time too. No wait.

I didnt eat but the food setup looked the same as in years past.


I did wait in line for an hour, and as an impatient person, may never go back to Voodoo again. It was the most ridiculous thing ive ever encountered at any festival or public event.

I just can't figure out who thought that would work logistically. And when the line started to form, where were the festival workers to let people know what line was for what, and where were they to help prevent people cutting the line? I must have told 5 different groups of people to GTFO. Im actually surprised there wasnt some type of riot, everyone was pissed.

we were going to cut the line but we were dressed up. It would have been too obvious.

went tonight…it was great…only took us 5 minutes to get in…peeing took about 15 total time walking to bathrooms and waiting in line so not bad…and agree the LE food was same as previous years

as far as the music:

Congorock fricking killed it
Pete Tong sucked
guy after Pete Tong sucked too never even heard of him..he was playing deep house type music…frick man the sun was down when you were playing cut that shite out.
Flux Pavillion and Skrillex both destroyed it….I must say, the lighting was by far the most impressive of everything. To the light guy:


dude was changing lights after every change in beat…he knew every song inside and out.

We got there at like 1:00 Friday and so fricking glad we did. 5 minutes to get in. It should never take more than 30 minutes to get through the gates. Absurd.
