Festival Season

[Louie0234]

With festival season right around the corner, line-ups are starting to emerge. The Hangout just announced a few today, Bonnaroo should be any day now, but has anyone seen Electric Forest's announcement the other day? I have always wanted to go to either Rothbury or Electric Forest but unfortunately haven't been able too. This may be the year things change. 3 String Cheese Incident Shows! What more do you really need? Here's the rest of the line up http://www.electricforestfestival.com/lineup.php

Has anyone ever been to either Rothbury or last year's Electric Forest? If so, what was your experience? Pros Cons? Fill me in people!!

I don't know how I could have forgotten to talk about Wakarusa also! What an amazing lineup and if anyone saw Pretty Lights last year you all will be happy to know that he is headlining the Interstellar Meltdown this year, which if you don't know about it, you should! It's pretty much a festival inside a festival, with plenty of time to rage!!

Here's a little video to get you going this lovely Tuesday morning

Hey I have been to 2 electric forests, the one in 2009 and the one this past summer! I've been too many music festivals and i have to say eforest (or rothbury as i like to call it) is THE BEST FESTIVAL EVER. I cannot say 1 negative thing about this place.. everyone is friendly, sherwood forest is BEAUTIFULLY decorated, there is so much to do there, and they even have a water park!!! The lineup is always amazing and theres always late night shows.. seriously if you have to pick one festi to go to this is the one to do

Kellyma, thanks for the info on Electric Forest, I had a few friends who went to it when it was Rothbury and they loved it. Hoping I can make it up there this year!

Anyways a heads up with Wakarusa... If you are going, ticket prices are about to go up, Saturday actually, so get at it now!!! Here is the link http://www.wakarusa.com/2012/tickets.asp

I dont' know if anyone else is getting as excited as I am to hear who will be playing at All Good this year. I already know I am going just because the last 2 years have been absolutely great... I am really expecting them to blow us away with the lineup since the venue has changed to Legend Valley in Thornehille, OH instead of Masontown, WV. It will be sad to be off of the mountaintop but I can't wait to check out the new site and to see what they have in store for us!

Has anyone else ever been? What are your thoughts on the move to OH?

[Louie0234]

Is anyone as excited as I am about the initial artist announcement for All Good Festival? It's coming out tomorrow!!! Get ready! Who would everyone like to see? Bring back John Butler Trio and Furthur!

[Axe Elf]

I hope they have KISS, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, AC/DC, R.E.M., the Eagles and U2!

[Louie0234]

Axe Elf, unfortunately for you they didn't have anything you were looking for... But the lineup should still make you happy!

I mean look at it...

The Allman Brothers Band
Phil Lesh & Friends
The Flaming Lips
Bob Weir & Bruce Hornsby featuring special guest Branford Marsalis
Michael Franti & Spearhead
