re: Do you prefer variety or uniformity in your musical festival lineups?

I like variety to some extent. It helps with crowd size and conflicts if you have people there to see different types of music on different stages. And I think diverse crowds are generally more amusing at festivals. If things aren't a little diverse everything starts to sound the same after a while. I've also really enjoyed sets I thought I would hate.

The superjams at roo are one of the best things about it for me. They're only unique because the lineup is diverse.

Having to sit through sets I can't stand to get a decent spot for a band I want to see is annoying. But vip tickets make that minimal as long as there's pit access at all stages.
