connecticuntNot necessarily a festival but I'll be at CoSM this weekend for the summer solstice gathering and I'm too excited
louie.miragsWe were at Cosmic Alignment this weekend in Saugerties and that was a great time. The smaller fest always have great vibes and everybody is instantly friends. It was my first time seeing Lespecial and consider the source. Both awesome and I can't wait to see again. Space Jesus and Cosmal were fun. All the music was jamming and chill as fuck! And I may have a new found interest in art...
nice! please tell us how that was! Ben and I were thinking of heading there for their monthly full moon gathering but were not sure what to expect. We got to see Alex and Alyson Grey a few months ago for a live podcast taping and I really want to check that place out.
-benedettoWhat Lou said. A small intimate festival is where its at. Great vibes all weekend. No cops, no stressing, lack of annoying people, and my list can go on
foodisfunoverheard some other opinions though. My only complaint was that I wish they played longer...music was over before 11
savvy_skiCamp Bisco in PA or Camp Barefoot in WV? seriously considering the second one..line up looks great for a smaller festival

louie.miragshmm that is a tough choice and it depends what you're into more, jam or edm? From and outside point of view and never being to either of these two, it seems barefoot will focus more on the jams. While bisco has too many headliners that I would guess a lot of the jams will be midday. That is my personal feeling which I wouldn't like because I prefer to boogie later in the day and I never gotten into the biscuits. Another thing is bisco is going to be humongous. Which has it's pro/cons. Bisco also has a water park. The ticket page wouldn't load for barefoot but I would guess overall it would be much cheaper to go barefoot. I would choose barefoot. The line up has a lot of the same jambands but also some electronic to rage at night.
connecticuntI was trying to decide between those too and I ended up settling on bisco just because that was the only camping edm fest I was going to make it to this summer. If you land on bisco hit me up and I'd love to meet you there!

savvy_skithat's what I was thinking, I love jam bands but I've never been to anything like Bisco before. I think I'll try for Bisco next year. barefoot looks awesome though!! I'm gonna go for it
louie.miragshey I don't to ask again but in cased you didn't see my last post, how was cosm? I really want to check out an event there but I decided not to last month because I was not sure what to expect
louie.miragsNice enjoy! I love jam bands and enjoy edm. I have said this before in this thread but edm actually has aided me in enjoying jam bands. My first edm festival I learned how to rage and dance not nobody is watching. And that is because nobody cares! People are more worried about what they look like than what you're dancing like. It wasn't until Mysteryland that I realized that and learned how to really let loose. In other words, edm is fun for partying and letting go but I prefer raging to some funky jams..
connecticuntMy friend who was driving me bitched out and I ended up not going, this has been the third time I got a ticket for an event there and ended up not going. But if I don't end up going to reconstrvct on the 4th I'm gonna see space jesus at CoSM instead. I don't know if you've heard of him but that's going to be an amazing show and I'd highly recommend that if you're trying to go to CoSM soon

louie.miragsdude I hate when I hear jaded fans complain about the song choices or how the show may not be up to par to what they were expecting.
I left that set with the biggest smile on my face and had an amazing time.

Is anyone going to reconstrvct in Brooklyn on the 4th? I've heard amazing things about reconstrvct events but never actually been to one
ThaLoraxI really want to go to Suwanee Hulaween but it's sooo far away.
connecticuntThe line up is absolutely ridiculous and there's a bunch of other amazing October shows and fests in Florida so I'm thinking of taking a camper down there for the month
ZimmermanMy only qualm with small fests is the lineups. Sure the community and atmosphere are better but is buying a weekend pass worth getting to see maybe three bands you kind of like? If you're paying for the community that's cool but I'd rather spend my money on a great lineup.

Big_Spencesemi long shot but is anyone doing DB campout this year? very little information has been announced thus far but Dirtybird is my jam and it happens to fall over my birthday...

foodisfunWidespread and Umphrey's was fun Saturday. It was only my second time hearing either band play so everything sounded good to me, overheard some other opinions though. My only complaint was that I wish they played longer...music was over before 11
VTbass802Hey everybody I am pretty ignorant on how to find these things out but I am looking for an edm festival that is in July or August that is within a 3 or so hour drive of Vermont (i already know about Osheaga in Montreal but besides that I am clueless)... thanks for the help!
VinnieFanyone on here get to Glastonbury this weekend? It's on the bucket list for sure.

louie.miragsResearch all of the artist you like and see where their tours are going.. Next May come to Mysteryland! It is an amazing festival in a beautiful location
VTbass802Will do and yea I wanted to go this year but it was the weekend before finals and I thought that wouldn't be the best idea. What was your favorite set there?
louie.miragsGriz was the most fun by far. My favorite set was probably Richie Hawtin because prior to ML I didn't understand techno and that set changed the tune of the weekend for me. Besides that I just roamed around and raged to whatever was on. I am not a huge edm guy so I went where my friends wanted to go
VTbass802Whaaaaaat Richie Hawtin was there? That sounds sick will certainly head over there next year.
foodisfunlast minute but now considering All Good if I can get off from work since it's pretty close to my buddy down in DC
theabortionatorI might be in attendance.
foodisfuncool man we should try and meet up if we're both there. I'll know later this week if I'm heading down

theabortionatorI'm down. Still have yet to meet another nser at a fest. I did meet an nser for some shows and have seen each other at fests over the years. I've had peoples numbers but it's never worked out. That said I'm down to try. And can pretty much guarantee I'll be at the moe. set if there.
I'll know after chicago. Was planning on chilling in southern pa for a little bit so all good would be an easy trip from there.
Hopefully it's a little less sketch than the last one I went to 4 years ago.
foodisfunsame dude it would be good to finally meet up with some NSers. I'll be in touch once I buy a ticket and know I'm def going.
just went back to find your post about when you went in 2011... sucks you had a pretty rough experience. really hoping the security/police presence isn't overbearing. not that I even do anything to warrant that kind of attention but it's a vibe killer seeing others get busted
killabeesim scared I wont make it to all good :(
louie.miragshey I don't to ask again but in cased you didn't see my last post, how was cosm? I really want to check out an event there but I decided not to last month because I was not sure what to expect.
