yeah, i enjoy the festival shows and used to have a decent annual one aka the HFStival in DC until the station went all mexicano on us. I enjoyed it even if i didn't like the bands, because it gave bands that i never knew/heard a chance. I never thought i would like coldplay live but they were great. As well as billy idol. Then again all of the festival shows i have been to are in stadiums, no porta port useage (and am used to this b/c of football/baseball games). /end rant
No, they suck to me for the reasons I listed. I'd rather do 5 concerts for bands that I love at $40 bucks each rather than one festival at $200.Pearce wrote:they probably suck for you cuz you want them to suck. to me thats just strange but whatever :/
and in the end
the love you take
is equal to

in my mind there is a HUGE difference in this type of festival and an HFStival or Virgin Fest.
the setlists are all long, there's no cops, security is a bunch of indians who live on the reservation.. you can do whatever you want. you get to camp out and cook out and rage under the stars.
i for one am going to make plans to go. make a sweet week of music.
311 & The Disco Biscuits, not going to miss it.
The problem is that unlike a lot of the bands there, 311 will play a greatest hits show and it will probably suck... but being able to smoke a giant blunt by myself without ducking under seats or looking over my shoulder is just wonderful.
