gretna fest is awesome

Nah they are a Led Zeppelin cover band

Govt Mule crushed it today. Haynes is an absolute animal of a guitarist.

And Gretna Fest is just a fun place to be. Glad you had fun.

Came to this board to make this same thread.

My wife and I went Saturday and Sunday. Cheap tickets, both days we were able to park for free in the garage no problem and just walk right across the street, no line to get in, extremely short and fast lines at every booth, great variety of delicious food, strong police presence so I never saw anyone causing trouble, everyone was easy going at every stage. Lots of people there but I never ever felt like I was crowded. Never had to wait in line for a toilet, all of them were clean.

None of the usual festival headaches. Really solid event planning.

I am looking forward to seeing who is in the lineup next year.

the lineup this year wasn't as good as it has been in the past. but, hopefully as we get further into post covid times, it will get better.

it was a great lineup

gretna fest is pretty easily the best run music festival ive been to in a long time

This. I was really disappointed in the lineup this year. I had beyond zero interest in seeing The Beach Boys.

I do
why do you ask?

we only went sunday

Bro it’s cool to drop the “I used to go when it was cool” line, don’t ya know?

My boys from the Iceman Special played it, they’re awesome.

Those are all good lineups for sure, but I don't particularly see any of them as being in a tremendously different league than Govt Mule, John Fogerty, Herman's Hermits, and The Beach Boys, at least not enough to say "back when they had good lineups"
