Going to shaky knees this weekend and was wondering how the venue and such were for those that have been.

This will be my 6th SK. Awesome festival imo. I might be in the minority but I prefer having it at Central Park over Centennial Park. They have two bigger stages and two smaller ones. You have a limited amount of conflicts because only two bands play in each time slot. Definitely, try and check out a late night show if you can. I’m going to see Incubus tonight

There’s plenty of food and beer vendors so waiting in line isn’t really an issue from my experience. Same goes for bathrooms as well. Last 3 years I’ve got early bird VIP tickets and it’s worth it every year. Not sure I’ll ever be able to go back to GA tix I’m also local though and this festival is a blind buy for me every year.

The crowd is definitely a little older compared to most festivals. Everyone for the most part is really chill and you don’t have to worry about a bunch of annoying millennials.

Awesome, thanks for the info. We're excited about it and the lineup they have. I'm only disappointed father John misty dropped out and was replaced by Maggie rogers.

Same but there's still plenty to see. To me this seems like the most relaxed year. A lot I want to see but not a whole lot of conflicts. Each day seems pretty well balanced.

If you have any other questions, just ask. I think there's a few people on this board that have been to the festival before

Went last year by myself to all three days and got shite faced all weekend.

Awesome fest and the lines are never really a problem. Security is pretty relaxed and the water stations are easy to find.

The stages are in perfect places to avoid bleed over although Criminal records does seem to get the worst of any possible bleed over.

Overall a very fun fest that while isn't on par with some of the bigger ones is still worth the price of admission. I also highly recommend getting a ride share doing Lyft or Uber price is cheaper and you get to meet some cool people

good call on Central Park over the downtown spot. Well organized festival and not an annoying mix of people.

Bumping only because Cage just put on one of the best sets I've ever seen. Phenomenal set that was made even better in the rain. Cage absolutely nailed it tonight.
