tbh, my wife is more hyped for this year. Last years lineup was more my taste. But Im excited for

Knuckle puck, hot mulligan, say anything, less than Jake, something corporate. My headliner is Movements

Hopefully its not windy this time

LOL

Nah, like 9mph winds on Sunday. Itll be a nice hot 90 degree day Saturday. Last year that day had 60mph winds

?

The Offspring, Rise Against, and Yellowcard would be cool to see, and I'd like to see Thrice again.

But I generally hate festivals.

I'd go for The Offspring, and Blink.

Something Corporate used to be my #1 band. I would also see Say Anything, Saves the Day, and Blink 182 if I were going.

How dare they not have Alkaline Trio

Schedule looks terrible, I hate these gimmick one-day fests that Live Nation and Goldenvoice are trying to make a thing

I dont mind it. I hate waiting around so last year was nice. Just nonstop music the entire time. I agree it should be two days though. Works out for babysitting for us

They charge considerably more than a 3-day pass for Riot Fest for this, and its like 75% conflicting 30 minute sets, that shit sucks

Eh, I guess it just works out for us. Cant do two days and theres n overlap. I like all the lesser band and my wife likes the news bigger bands. So this year worked out nicely. Next years sick new world will be tough. Stubhub has them for like 150 this year

I fucking wish I was going to that

Ive been to so many concerts the last couple months but I definitely wish I was going to that.

Looks like Id have to make some crazy decisions though because a lot of my favorite bands are playing at the same time

Yeah, I mean if it was local Id consider going to it, but its a ripoff and definitely not something worth traveling for

its not a ripoff if you want to go and have fun when you go

I'd go, if it was near me. Not really any of my faves, but a ton there that I've enjoyed and wouldn't mind seeing at a music festival.

No Paramore this time? But Hayley...

Really though I'd just see Blink and The Offspring and just leave.

It is a ripoff compared to any other festival out there

no ones saying its not fun, but $350+ general admission tickets to a one day festival is fucking absurd

I'd go just for the Offspring and Rise Against, but it would be cool to see Green Day and Blink before they stop performing. And the Ataris! That should be a fun show.

Wish I had the funds for it.

*shrug*

They were 200-250 when it first came out, they also offered a layaway option that was like 20$ a month until the concert happened.

if you look at tickets for any concert in three days when the tickets have been out for a year, theyre gonna be pretty high

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/4/8/AAFeIUAAE86A.png

god damn resale is even better

My friend had a ticket for the last day last year but all his friends were going on the first day, so he found somebody who would switch tickets with him so he switched..

and then the first day got cancelled

I felt so bad for him

Tier one prices/early bird tickets were $249.99 but with the same absurd fees so at best about $30 cheaper than the price I posted

here is the 2023 pre-sale megathread:

Yeah, its 19.99 down but 200 every couple weeks until its paid off. They insanely overpriced and I regret not getting stubhub. But they sold out right away so I didnt know. And last years was hella expensive on Stubhub especially because of the cancellation

Not going this year. The festivals here are really shit with their scheduling now. I miss Extreme Thing lmao could see like 20 bands entire sets in a day.

Say Anything, Thrice and Academy Is would be kinda cool to see tho

Offspring tours here frequently enough. I've never seen Say Anything so it'd be an easy choice for me. I do love the Offspring though.

Say anything was kinda bad at riot fest but also a lot of fun

id pick them over the offspring tho bc who knows when hell decide to tour again?

Dope lineup, even if the genre isn't my fave. One day fests blow ass though, I'll take a regular three day fest over a one day every time.
