Not sure who thought a June fest was a good idea, but hope it does well.

Going to see Bartees Strange at Hogs for the Cause a few months earlier.

Have only heard of LCD and Idles. If price is right, I’ll go. I don’t mind the summer heat but I am probably in the minority.

Dijon opened for Bon Iver at Champions Square about a year ago and put on a pretty good show. First time I've seen a bunch of dudes sitting around a table on stage.

Absolutely (live film)

I went to a June music festival in Lafayette last year…never again

I will never again go to an outdoor summer music festival in South Louisiana. If it’s June-August, show better have A/C

Looks like single day is starting at $100 (likely before fees)

And both times I've gone, I felt like I was going to die of heat stroke. We can all agree Jazz Fest weather is less than ideal.

Ideal? maybe not but it's not terrible. I can't imagine what June would be like.

I'm a schmuck and bought tickets for Friday.. wasn't much of a que in the waiting line

It may bomb, but I've never seen LCD or IDLES so I can cross them off in one day.. and Big Freedia will be amazing and baffling as always

Anybody else going? I'm just doing Friday.

It must be bombing because single day tickets dropped by $20.. and they offered me tickets for Saturday and Sunday for $50
