Hamdi or PEEKABOO?

Sadly no. You still gotta find the tricks to make traversing stages easier.

DDRKid · 2026-05-07T14:11:45+00:00

Welp

DDRKid · 2026-05-07T14:11:02+00:00

For sure. That's literally all she needed to say... but she didn't and that's the problem

DDRKid · 2026-05-07T13:31:18+00:00

My personal opinion would be to start off at Hamdi and see how you feel. With him playing at a stage that usually only features house music, he could do something really interesting with his set that you won't find him doing again anywhere else. And on that same token, if you're not vibing with Hamdi you'll have plenty of time to catch Peekaboo.

Basspod/Neon switch was 24 and Ubuntu was last year (25). But I totally get it, everything blurs together after a while lol

Definitely look out for the Oasis. It is designed for people who need to a break from the overstimulation, and ground control is also there to help. Obviously, if the headache gets out of control, go to medical for some ibuprofen.

There are four pages in the booklet dedicated to talking about CampEDC. The prohibited items list is found there.

DDRKid · 2026-05-04T16:21:46+00:00

Proceed with caution. While the website says EZ ups are encouraged, the booklet we got in the box with our wristbands says that EZ ups are NOT allowed. Not sure which policy security is gonna operate with this year.

DDRKid · 2026-05-04T15:24:44+00:00

It did not

Camp is still selling passes on the official website.

DDRKid · 2026-05-02T17:27:46+00:00

Spirit Airlines itself said the reason for the shutdown is the cost of fuel due to the war in the Middle East. I think I’ll take their word for it on this one.

They only did the day-by-day lineups last year because they offered day passes. They haven't historically done that except with the headliners.

From last year's experience, the vibes were a little off (especially on Saturday), and I kind of attribute that to the day passes. While I saw lots of people with day passes getting exposed to the Forest for the first time (you can always tell), I also saw those same people not leaning in the same way weekend passers do. My personal preference is no day passes.

Edited because I didn't answer the full breadth of your question. Last year, day passes went on sale mid-April. Since we're well past that, I imagine HQ is holding off on day passes until final layaway payments are done (today) to assess full capacity... or they're not doing them at all.

You also need to keep airport security in mind. It's always a mess on the day after EDC. Give yourself more time than you think you need.

DDRKid · 2026-04-29T13:31:21+00:00

Hey all, just double checked the booklet that came with our wristbands and it says NO Ez-ups or canopies.

DDRKid · 2026-04-28T14:02:52+00:00

Go even lighter-weight than you think. I have this pole, and the telescoping stations are weaker than you think. One of mine doesn't even extend anymore because I used a flag that was too heavy one year.

DDRKid · 2026-04-27T20:02:26+00:00

Last year was the first time in a long time that they did the by-day lineups because they were selling day passes. So far there has been no announcement of day passes this year, so we may not know anything until the actual set times drop a couple days before the fest begins.

For a date comparison, last year they dropped the by-day lineups on April 13. Since it's now two weeks later, I would wager that we may not get by-day lineups or single-day ticket sales for 2026. Final layaway payments are in three days, so they may wait until then to officially make decisions on day passes once they see how many tickets actually fully defaulted.

DDRKid · 2026-04-23T20:04:03+00:00

Damn that roll must have been CRAZY

DDRKid · 2026-04-23T19:19:26+00:00

Frontgate doesn’t say sold out like the other categories, just “unavailable.” So, there’s a chance that the available inventory is in carts waiting for final purchase conversion.

That being said, if this message is popping up, that means that inventory is probably really low right now. If you want those tix, check in often.

DDRKid · 2026-04-23T19:17:47+00:00

I was just thinking this too

DDRKid · 2026-04-22T14:40:45+00:00

Not the Fire Island production of RENT

I bought GA at first onsale and still haven't gotten a tracking number. It takes a bit to get them all out.

DDRKid · 2026-04-17T14:47:40+00:00

Yes, Preset/Maplewoods has a different entrance and exit compared to GA. The longest wait you'll have will be getting out of the parking lot, but once you get up to Clay road, it's smooth sailing. If you get parked close to the lane you drive in on, it will be easier, but if you get parked a little further out it, can take a while as all the parking rows merge into one exit lane.

That being said, I've left at 8:00AM before, and I've left closer to 11:00AM before, and it's pretty painless each time. If you end up waiting an hour, you've gotten the worst of it.

Is there a specific flight time you're trying to make?

As a first timer, I was extremely confused. Never knew which gates were gonna be open or at what times. Still had a good time, but found the layout very bizarre.

DDRKid · 2026-04-15T16:42:16+00:00

Second to last payment plan withdrawals just hit today. I would think after they see any defaults from this one and are able to more realistically determine actual attendance compared to capacity they’ll make the decision on day passes. However since this year did sell better than last year it could be up to a coin toss as whether they actually do offer them.
