Who's planning trips to festivals? I recently learned I have the ability to go to coachella providing I can pay for it all, which isn't an easy task. Additionally, my father and I have talked about telluride, and seeing hayes carll and modest mouse at shaky knees
-benedettoDancing past sunrise? I knew that was possible around nyc. I want to be at a club/party that is like that at least once (festival doesn't count).
yea dude it's possible every weekend. vibe is usually really good too when it gets that late/early
new years is certainly special, though, with 24+ hour parties
sugarloafTwiddle and Dopapod tomorrow indeed! And Soule Monde! Looking forward to a frendly night. Was a little bummed I can't make it to Miami for Phish (still have tickets if anyone is looking) but this should do.
Twiddle just killed it at Higher Ground over the weekend and I'm stoked on Soule Monde. Thought Sunday night was particularly rad.
hammanHad a blast at Dopapod on New Years! anyone else go ?
so much fun! and holy LIGHTS. Dopapod went all out with the balloons, confetti and lights. that midnight dopapod/twiddle/soule monde Disco Inferno jam was fire. Just saw there's video of Twiddle's whole set too so can't wait to relive it.
so Coachella 2015 lineup has been released.
looks good and all, but I'm on the fence if I still want to go or not. There are a few acts I would love to see, like alt-J, Ratatat, and St. Vincent, but I just don't know if it'll be worth the ~$1000 trip.
Gonna have to think about this one.

Looks weak this year. Some good sets throughout the list, but disappointing after coming off strong lineups the last two years.
I generally post about how the coachella lineups really fell off maybe 4 or 5 years ago. This is my post about that.
That festival sort of died.
Fish NYE Miami was the heat. Literally. Fucking 90 in january? JEsus fucking christ. GReat shows though. Hell of a road trip. Unfortunately missed all the after parties including my boys the heavy pets nye to sunrise set, dopapod, and some other shows. I just suck atr after parties. Had shit to do anyway. Should have gone for the first half hour then left. Could have made it in around 530 am but parking was a bitch and couldn't get a hold of anyone to see if it was still going. I guess it went till 630. Oh well. Better luck next time

Oh hell yea the lights were awesome, and thanks for the heads up ill have to check that video out asap! I was exited to see the balloons and whatnot when I walked in. A good ole ballon drop on new years…what more could I ask for.

Yea iv never made it out to a Coahella and I don't think I will be this year either.
But thats dope man glad you had a blast. Yea after parities are great and all, but at least you made it on down!
So with Coachella selling out, none of my friends were able to get tickets. That being said, I'm bailing on going.
If anyone missed out on getting their ticket, I have my weekend 1 ticket ($375) and a camping pass ($85) for sale, valued at $480 (this includes shipping), and I'll sell it for $450, obo.
I don't want any low balling, but that's a decent deal for a killer weekend.
Let me know if you're interested.

Holy fucking shit. This is how american festival lineups are like? What the fuck. Soooooo many great live acts here, how will you even have time to see everyone you want? hsajhdasjlkdhøsadhj this is insane compared to the norwegian/swedish line-ups
I wasn't aware of the previous fest x's and Watkins Glen or know anything about it but stumbled upon this rumor of phish returning for Labor Day weekend. Obviously just a rumor that the last post "confirms" it's true..

haha I agree, the bands booked are great... its like Way out West x 789092718

I'm not huge into EDM so Mysteryland is the optimal amount of people because tomorrowworld seems insane but I can imagine a fucking blast. I have a decently sized group for ml too, can't wait

Yeah the fest x rumors happen every year. I really wouldn't be surprised however since it's been forever since the last Phish fest and the band is really feeling it right now. A bona fide rumor, still.

Lol. This is our throwaway lineup. You can have it. Seriously though we have much better lineups. All depends what you're into though. It's hard to gauge international lineups when you don't know the acts. Same with smaller fests out of region and you don't know the ragional bands for that part of the country.
And I wouldn't be surprised if fest x happens this year but I hope it doesn't. I'd rather have them play spac. Also would rather have fest x next year so I can attend. Good chance I'll be gone again. I'll fly back for spac if it happens not sure about fest x. Probably not.
I was too broke to make it to indio but superball was a good time. Actually I was too broke to be at superball. Got a free ticket for clean vibes, put my last $13 into a bottle of run on the way there. Included change from under mats. Spent about half an hour at said liquor store. We ended up with some stolen chicken to eat the first 2 days until it got fucked in the cooler.
The night before my first shift picking up garbage we were still raging/jamming at 4 or 5 am. Decided if I went to bed I'd miss my shift. Stayed up partying. Was still drinking beers as I walked to my shift at 8am. That was the worst day. All fucked up picking up garbage all day. That said some people in alaska were hooking me up with burritos and was getting mixed drinks from all kinds of people.
It kind of sucked being super beat at night when phish was playing. Managed to get to the rail sunday night. Regardless, being at phish and picking up garbage/being tired = better than being at home and not being at phish.
Ended up slinging some smokes and whatever to buy some lot food and $1 beers.
Great weekend.
R.I.P. Jerry from burlington. Had an awesome night with you and the girls. Think about it from time to time. Great person. Saw one of the girls on cheese tour and we talked about it a bit. Way too young but a great dude and glad we were friends even for a short time. RIP
Thinking about hitting up Wakarusa because it's fairly close to Colorado and usually has a solid, not too edm heavy lineup. The initial lineup got dropped and looks pretty decent and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the rest of the lineup.

ahhhh shit! I have been waiting to see the Expendables. I love their old style and they're more reggae style! Hope they hit up a North East festy. I saw Rebelution last year at The Hudson Project and they were fucking fun to jam too.
Conspirator is awesome too

That lineup does absolutely nothing for me but they'll add more.
Waka is a great fest. Would love to get back. Some crazy fucking weather that time of year in those parts though. Have fun. Maybe I'll get back to there and scamp this year
Moe.down is the opposite of Coachella: It ain’t flashy, the music isn’t trendy, and much of the crowd doesn’t even have a Facebook account. But it is real and the music is consistently spectacular.

IT was pretty fucking crazy near the end of it's reign though. 08/09 were pretty mad. 08 was the biggest, things scaled back a little bit but 09 was still pretty wild. The first year at the castle was kind of raging despite everything then after that it kind of died.
It's nice in a way to have it small again, but I miss the wildness of it for better or worse.
It's far more family friendly now than it probably had been since the 4th one. Things got pretty sketch the last couple years in turin.
IT was pretty fucking grimy in parts at time. Crazy to have gone last year when it was super small and empty after seeing that place in full rage mode.
At least the sketchiness died. That move after the 10th one, phish coming back on tour, and some other things really took it's toll on the numbers.
Still a great fest. Was bummed to have missed it this year. Thankful for the previous 6 I was able to attend and all the lovely, fun, and downright weird people I met because of it.

The Expendables were what got me into reggae-surf-rock like Rebelution, Iration, The Green etc., but I was pretty disappointed both times I saw them. A festival set might be better but when I saw them they played a lot of heavier stuff that had all the drunk 16 year olds "moshing." I was hoping for more of the mellow reggae style tho, so just wasn't what I was expecting
I saw the expendables open for ziggy marley in 09. I remember it being good I think but not sure lol.
festival sets can be good and bad. Some bands fucking bring it, other times you get greatest hit type sets where they play all the songs the noob "fans" of said band who only know 3 songs know.
Idk. Fests are nice to check a lot of bands out without having to buy tickets or commit to going to a bunch of shows. I always try and check out a few bands I wouldn't normally see just because they're there and I'm there.
If you do waka 100% GET ONSITE CAMPING!!!!!!! Fuck the offsite shit. Also be careful when leaving there, if you hike to the waterfall, go down to the river, r hit the offsite don't do anything stupid, watch out for 5-0.
Figured some festie people know about Alex and Allyson Grey and wondering if anyone had ever actually been to the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. I have my ticket to go to a full moon gathering there, I heard Tipper plays there a lot, and I'm interested to see what it's going to be like.
Anyone on here a huge lotus fan and want to give me the low down? I'm doing a show preview w/phone interview /claim and am trying to get a little familiar first.

i am not a huge fan but I listened to their Vibes set billed as Talking Heads Deconstructed. Pretty sick!

According to pt ive seen em 14 times but not in a couple years and never was a "huge" fan. I can probably find you some stuff though. Wanted to catch em at moe,down if i went
some more additions to the Mtn Jam line up. With more and more talks of there being no .down this year, I am either going to hit Vibes or Mtn Jam, or both!
moe., late night dopapod, rebelution, Robert Plant.... sounds decent to me thus far

Oh my god I guess I'm going to have to add another fest to my summer list. The whole lineup seems amazing but Robert plant and moe. really sold it for me
I'll be the first to say I think bonaroos lineup looks good to me. Hang out fest came out with their lineup and its just alright. I'm holding out for firefly. More my style
Waka Round 2. Honestly it looks pretty weak to me minus a few names and I'm kinda on the fence. Might wait for the third announcement which better be amazing.
theabortionatornah but i went for me. dmb last year or two years ago. keep missing peach
For $99 and $35 for camping it can't be beat... Also, talked with someone who works security there and the lineup sounds pretty good especially for the first year without the Bros.

Fuck, forgotabout that. I fucking love me some allmans. So fucking bummed about that. Only saw them 3 or 4 times. Never made a beacon run like I wanted too. Fucking lame.
And prolly will never make it. Should have hit the first but just didn't. think I hit something else that weekend every year. Probably won't hit any fests again next year though.
Me and Louie are considering a road trip at first glance.
Thoughts about this show?
Icon is relevant.
Tickets are $100 for GA pit, $60 for nosebleed, and $100+ for evrything else it looks like. I would consider going if I could snag some ga tickets but they'll probably sell out in a couple seconds I would imagine.
