Is the A.V. Club not sponsoring the comedy fest anymore? AV Club and the onion are no longer affiliated with each other

How the hell does anybody get to Sasquatch? That shit is so far and the flights make no sense.

Did Open Air double their budget?
Also what is happening this summer that almost every good band is available/touring?

Paid to see SOAD open for Metallica on the last Newsted tour, would pay good money to see it again in 2018.
Would pay extra for Powerman 5000 to not also be on the bill this time.

also in the undercard will likely be Ghost, Pop Evil, Babymetal, Sevendust, Halestorm, STP, Underoath, Nothing More, Red Fang, the Sword, Baroness, Greta Van Fleet, and Fozzy

Surprised GVF passed on that Lolla exposure for Open Air.
Any "guesses" on where it might be? Soldier Field?

American’s prices are actually the best, but all in it would still come out to around or over $2k for us to do this. Not likely.

There also hitting up Panorama, Shaky Knees and Hangout. With that tour routing I would be shocked if they don’t play Lolla.

Not likely. $180 a person and you’ve got yourself a round trip ticket on the Empire Builder. Get ready for sitting in the same seat for 40 hours, insane delays, and arriving at four in the goddamn morning! Trains are the future teekoh

Roskilde decided to add some good acts including My Bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nails, Fever Ray, Sampha, Blackstar, Laurel Halo and Four Tet (plus like 50 more i think).
MBV's first european show.

Oh man, Black Star hitting the festival circuit is good news I think. I have no idea if they fit into any of the fests here though. Maybe Riot I guess.

Yeah Sasquatch isn't that hard to get to. Not any harder than Coachella.

yeah coachella has closer flight options than just lax. i dont think the gorge has anything closer than seattle or portland and it's still probably a 3 hour drive after that either way.

It's just under 30 hours to drive from Chicago, which is a really long time. The flights to Seattle aren't too bad, but the reasonable ones that I've seen to fly back are either still too expensive, or involve a several hour layover somewhere.
When considering the flying option, it involves checking any camping supplies for additional fees and then renting a car.
It seems like the time and cost to do that from Chicago is really prohibitive.
