I went last year, and will be attending this year as well. Not only is it one of the best lineup's of the year, but you don't miss one second of music with the interlocking stages. The collaborations that come from this are amazing. I was blown away by the setup inside the stage area. They really nailed this part I thought. Everything was spread out nicely, and the lines were never that bad to get a beer or food. I can only imagine how they will improve on this amazing festival. Anyone on this board going?

Went last year, and plan on going again this year. Can't wait and really hope I am going to be able to swing it with work. Will probably skip out on Thursday this year if I do go though.

I already noticed they moved car camping 2 to a different location much closer to the stage area, other than that I think the entry lines should move a little bit better this year now that they have had one run. Not a whole lot else to complain about last year other than not really knowing who was playing at the late night campfire stages.

Revivalists > Umphreys > WSMFP would be more impressive that Tom Emanski's back-to-back-to-back AAU champs.

No it does not. It is the best festival in the US for a second year in a row

Last year was going to be hard to beat, but I think they have successfully done that! My old legs will be shot on Monday haha. Who are some of the smaller bands everyone is excited to see? I'm intrigued by Bustle in the Hedgerow.

That and Phil Lesh and Friends are the only reason I would go. I wish they would also do a Joe Russo's Almost Dead set.

I'm really excited about Grateful Grass. Rex is one of my all time favorite live shows. The lineup is stacked from head to toe.


Minus The Revivalists

There aren't a lot of "small acts" this year. The Bush & Keel set would be one of the things I haven't seen before and would be interested in.

Make sure you go into with an open mind and excited to see the show. Going to a show with negativity in your head just makes it worse. Don't listen to the snobs

The music lineup looks fantastic but I've never been to a "camping festival" before. Maybe I have the wrong impression but I just don't think it is something I would enjoy that much.
