Is Eaux Claires a good fest? Like I realize they always have nice lineups but is the actual camping/festival experience good?

A couple friends went that year as well and spoke wonders of it. I really would like to go this coming year, but I'm not sure I envision that happening. It would have to be a pretty phenomenal lineup, though I don't doubt that as a possibility. Do we figure we get full sets from both The National and Bon Iver, or do they do their "artists in residence" thing again?

I would be shocked if The National don't headline. Not sure about Bon Iver since they've headlined twice.

also it looks like every warped tour is selling poorly but i assume they anticipated that. aaaand they just announced that 2018 will be the final year for Warped Tour (as a touring festival, anyway)
Do we know if it's been a slow drop off in tickets over the past few years or if this is an isolated thing with parents refusing to buy their teenage daughters tickets with all of the scandals going on?
That's actually a serious question. I've never gone, so I can't speak to the attendance last year as compared to, say, 5-10 years ago.
EDIT: I found the report you were referring to. Those were actually last year's numbers (2017), so I'm sure that has a lot to do with them cancelling the tour beyond 2018 as well.

i assume both, honestly. not really sure, i hadn't heard about the sales until last night so it makes sense to not let it keep going.

also Welcome to Rockville in Jacksonville FL added Toothgrinder to Friday, STP and He is Legend to Saturday, and Wolf Alice to Sunday.
so that sunday continues to get even better somewhow while the rest of the lineup gets worse.

A Sunday single day costs less than most of the price tiers for Foos at Wrigley, but that would mean going to Jacksonville so fuck that...

Those ExC dates suck for me cuz it'll be the same weekend as 80/35. We'll probably do ExC, but that's quite the bummer.

First time I went was in '99. Eminem filled in for Cypress Hill, who had to cancel. It was just after he released his first album. Who'd have thought he'd become a superstar? I also saw Lit, Suicidal Tendencies, Ice-T, and a pre-Fergie Black Eyed Peas. Didn't stay for Blink-182 because I had already seen them.

Man, what if Open Air can land something like that Sunday, just obviously sans Foo Fighters because Wrigley. Just move Judas Priest in place of them and boom!

how come? i'd assume 13-15. Almost always 2 weeks before Lolla, which is the first weekend of August again this year. Could be either one, but they typically book it that third weekend of July. The Taste announced their 2018 dates today, July 11-15. So yeah, P4K will almost certainly be the following weekend.

I'm going with some combination of The xx, Nick Cave, St. Vincent and SZA for Pitchfork headliners.

Sounds like it's time to make the Pitchfork 2018 thread.

lol yeah the idea of them playing Lolla on their most sensitive album tour yet when they pretty much blatantly said no in 2014 doesnt hold much water.
edit: wanny mightve been joking. i havent had a full copy of coffee yet.

I don't know if they said no or Lolla didn't bother trying to book them. Either way I don't see it happening next year.
