Attendance might be up but that tweet is pure bullshit. No way this year will be as big as 2013/2014 and they were still selling tickets the days of both of those years.
2011 and 2012 were insanely packed. 100k people. I hope with all the new activities it will spread people out. Thursday is always a clusterfuck in the tents.
That's my big fear this year as All Them Witches and The Nude Party are top 5 shows for me. That walk from What to Which after the headliners Hell the back of What field at night will go back to the concession stands again. Bring it on.
But that's my favorite part of being in VIP for the headliners. Occasionally looking over everyone in the crowd all lit up with the arch, Ferris wheel, and tower in the background.
That set is going to be an absolute disaster. He played Roo in 2016 and that set is consistently brought up as one of the worst sets in Roo history. I think he played the same song like 2-3 times and left the stage for half of the show while the dj played beats.
I've already decided that's the time to maybe shower or just go straight to That and get a prime spot for JRAD
I still need to get a camping pass. Two people have flaked on me. Can’t trust people these days. The search continues.
No it won’t be be... saw his 2018 lollapalooza set and it was definitely solid... this is from someone who isn’t a big fan
You're not the only one I've heard say good things about Post live but that's definitely not the majority opinion. Idk if it's a show by show basis but it seems like he puts on a lot of awful shows from what I've read. I remember people being furious with his set in 16 and then reading about the disappointment with his sets at fests last year. I hope he has a good set for Roo though.
We shall see. I am sure what you are saying is true... I just think in 16 he hadn’t released beerbongs and bentleys so maybe he didn’t have as much material or heat
Just got informed my schedule changed from 10a-5p to 12p-7p. I'm only missing one show that I wanted to see because of it. Maybe more time in the morning to sleep and go to the high school to get my daily bands will be a good thing. Still going to wing it in the VIP hospitality tent. Sleep on the ground in there. It's air conditioned. Let's do this motherfuckering thing. So much for trying to keep in shape this year.
Pulled the trigger last night and I bought single day shuttle tickets for the weekend - VIP on Saturday and GA on Sunday. 1st time going to Roo because they finally separated CMA fest weekend.
Welcome. Come find me between 3-7p on the VIP Hill at the What stage. It's the viewing area at the main stage. I'll be slingling beers and waters up there. Also, take advantage of the VIP viewing area at the Which. There is also a VIP tent over there that is air conditioned as well. The shuttle drops you off right beside the purple mark on the bottom right.
On Thursday in 2012, I had to pull every single piece of clothing out of my bag and stack it on top of me. I want to say it was in the low 40s. Woke up at 9 am and it was like 85 out. Good times.
If have a Google Pixel or T-Mobile, this looks badass. I'll stop by first thing on Thursday. https://pixelpass.pgtb.me/GdHFQb
I’m flying up to Chattanooga Wednesday solo. Meeting some friends there. Staying with them. It will be 4 of us total I think
If all else fails I’ll just buy one at the gates. I’ve been in contact with the seller. He showed me a pic of the pass and the envelope he mailed it out on. Plus I haven't paid him yet.
This is the lightest I have ever packed for Roo. No grill. Barely any food. No tent. No chairs. Let's do this damn thing already.
currently flew out to DC, crashing at my homegirl's pad. Rented a jeep and hitting the road to Tennessee wednesday
Just got a message from my supervisor saying there is a chance I will be sleeping overnight in the Broo'rs tent to look after inventory. This means I should be able to get all four wristbands on Thursday and not have to leave each morning. Will be finding out soon.
