lol after joining the "i probably wont travel for fests next year" train I just looked a little too hard into eaux claires
the VIP ticket is a really good deal. Flights are a bit expensive though and is there an easy/cheap way to get from Mineapolis to Eau Claire without a car? also it makes it harder that its Friday/Saturday and not Saturday/sunday

If the flights are any better to Chicago instead of Minneapolis, I'm sure you could catch a ride with one of the boarders who would be going. Just a much longer ride from Chicago obviously.

Because of my work schedule in 2018, if Shaky Knees is incredible next year, it looks like I may be driving from Madison > Atlanta that Thursday. Hey, on the bright side, maybe I pick up Carl on the way?

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 was joking, but one can hope! Ya I bet Lolla just didn't book them, they played a lot that year. Don't see any reason they woulda said no

Eh they played a bunch of North American fests in 2013+2014 including Osheaga which was the same weekend as Lolla The fest just had no interest in booking them

They would be a fantastic Grove closer (I know they should be on a bigger stage than that, but given the crowd that attends Lolla I'd be surprised if too many attendees outside the board here actually know or care who they are). But I'd still be shocked to see them on the lineup.

That Bonnaroo crowd size was depressing but also cool

I remember looking at the potential leaked lineup last year and thinking about how I could make it work, and then the actual lineup dropped and I was suddenly very ok with not being able to make it work.

In case anyone wants to really gamble tomorrow: dear camping festivals that have slipping attendance: include the camping in your ticket price! no one wants to pay extra for that shit.

I remember a few years ago Newport Folk Fest toyed with a similar idea. I believe it was because they wanted to book artists who they couldn't announce because of other festival's radius clause's preventing them from being able to do so.
If the brand is strong enough, it's not the worst idea. I would certainly go to Riot Fest without seeing a lineup first.

here's the tweet in question which sounds more declarative than i made it sound. it's a cool idea for a niche event, i just wonder how many people will go considering it never seems to sell amazingly like newport folk or whatever.

I feel like we've joked about this for years so kind of wild to see it actually entertained

I certainly wouldn't travel for a festival without knowing the lineup, but that's just me.

Eh, I get it. Pretty much any fest I'm still interested in outside of Bonnaroo has a strong enough identity that I'd trust them.

reminds me of when warped tour didnt have a schedule in advance and you'd show up and there was a big inflatable sign with the schedule for the day that you had to plan from.
