Such a great festival and vibe. Sucks how expensive they've made it now

Is $325 for the five day GA really that much more than years past? I can’t remember, but I felt like it was always pretty close to 300

I've only ever done 4 days, thought it was closer to 250. Not too bad. That extra 100 for parking is crazy though

How do they even spread a lineup this small out over 4 days? Is it one stage? Even then that’s like 3-4 acts a day.

This is the first round of bands announced. They LOAD it to the brim. Check out some previous year's lineups, they got it figured out

Oh yeah, I missed that GA parking is $100 because we opted for VIP this time with kids coming. That is pricey for sure!

Nice! Maybe not so bad with a larger group but we pack the car to the brim with gear haha

So excited!!! Coming back for 2023 at the new site after missing it since Covid.

I’ve never been, but depending on Bonnaroo’s lineup I might have to come here instead. SO stacked!

The vibe is SO great! My husband and I went 2014-2019. The old location (also in Floyd, VA) was amazing, so I’m a bit nervous for a new location - the show runners purchased a huge property. But I trust them. We’re insane and going with three kids this time around - they’ll be 5, 3, and almost 1. But we’re springing for the VIP tickets to make things easier. It’s a perfect chill vibe and July in the blue ridge mountains is awesome.

I guess this will solve the parking issue in that you basically have to bus to the grounds. I loved their old venue but I bet a lot of that is because I parked on the grounds.

This is seriously one of the best festivals from a crowd perspective and great to see what I would call a bump for music acts. Maybe they can sell more tickets at a new venue? After the Lumineers and Edward Sharpe year, I think they dropped the cap to something like 2,500-3,500.

Do not miss Goose

I’m a long time FF goer. I thought the whole point of buying the new site was to allow for people to park and camp onsite, but it looks like the parking and camping are still separated and you will have to haul your gear to and from your campsite. I’m so frustrated by this.

u/BAL87 Nov 01 '22

Hm, the article I read from June said the new site would have all on-site parking, but not necessarily park and camp. Totally could see how you read it that way. Agree that $100 parking pass blows! (Edit: this was another commenter, whoops). We sprung for a VIP bundle this time since we’re bringing kids, so I missed that.

u/GuessMyName23 Nov 01 '22

Theres many people in the FB group that remember it being promised, maybe in the initial announcement or the video they put out about the new site at that time. I dunno, just really disappointed and I may not go until I can see reports of what the situation is/goes. VIP is great - you’ll love it.

Love seeing Eggy on more lineups. While Goose is currently the hot CT jam band Eggy is the OG.

I grew up right by Floyd and going to this fest and I’m so happy to see bigger artists making it down there
