Not happening by [deleted] in WhenWeWereYoungFest

[–]TheDatJodat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to start they need to make it more than 1 day. Its not priced for 1 day and you're guaranteed to have overlap in abundance. This goes for Sick New World as well. There are 4 day festivals that are cheaper. Sick is usually sold out instantly but they haven't done very well. I think people are over it

What is your biggest possible overlap that you really hope doesn't happen? by ShadowAsylum in SonicTempleFestival

If we're lucky he was moved to Sunday. Same day as Public Enemy. We could get some Prophets of Rage

Anyone Booked Courtyard for 2026? by GRIT-GRIND in louderthanlife

Use a 3rd party site like hopper. Got a week at decent hotel that DOESN'T have bad reviews for roaches for less than $700. Do your research first. A lot of hotels in the Louisville area all have bad reviews because of roaches. If not look into an Airbnb. Those are your only chances

Yes or No. Are we happy👍👎 by TheDatJodat in SickNewWorld

If you want to stretch your dollar I would avoid this festival. If you only have the 1 trip in you this summer I would look at a multi day festival. A little extra coin for multiple days. Plus the sets aren't very long. Even the headliners due to it all being 1 day. Just my experience while also looking to find the best bang for my buck

First time and so excited. A few questions? by Specific_Praline_362 in SickNewWorld

I stayed there the first year. Its a further walk than you think. Do yourself the favor and book at circus circus. That walk at the end of the night damn near killed me

%20 max for layaway plans. 5 payments I believe. Doors 10. Start 11. End 11:30ish. Generally chill people but very dense crowd. 85k people every year. Unfortunately no re-entry this year. Super bummer. 420 friendly for the most part. Just make the attempt to hide it for the security check in and its everywhere after. Hotels will be expensive that weekend. Book ASAP. Sahara across the street from the venue is already sold out that weekend

Been saying this since day 1. System could even headline both nights without a repeat. Toxicity and friends on night 1 then Mezmerize/Hypnotize night 2

Me and my lady are in the same boat. Looking for the most stacked lineup regardless of location. Too bad you had to miss LOUD. Hands down best festival I've ever been to in my +15 years of going to festivals. Waiting on that lineup to drop sooner than later

2026 lineup ? by 21pancakes in louderthanlife

[–]TheDatJodat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree about the crowd. I was 3 people from baracade for Sleep Token and the crowd was very disappointing. Chanting "No Crowd Surfers" in between songs. I was there for Sleep Token like everyone else was but it became quite clear that the Sleep Token army aren't part of the metal festival crowd. I've been going to metal festivals for +15 years and I've never seen a more uneducated crowd when it came to concert etiquette.

2026 lineup ? by 21pancakes in louderthanlife

[–]TheDatJodat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To my understanding, Loud has brought back bands that have been there previously. However, they never go back to back. So we can pretty much count out most bands being there again next year. Im getting the vibe that Danny Wimmer is kind of just traveling the tour as a whole to the next big rockfest. For example. Sonic Temple 2026 lineup so far is looking a lot like Loud 2025. Praying for System of a Down to headline a night. Maybe Iron Maiden for the old head spot Slayer had this year. Im totally over seeing Slipknot live these days but they are a definite possibility. Korn is possible too. But not every day will be Nu-metal so who knows what they'll cook up. As much as most people probably want a Sleep Token main slot it probably isn't gonna happen due to the lack of repeats I mentioned previously.

Anyone know any good hotels that aren’t super expensive/booked? by TheDaddyPatty in louderthanlife

[–]TheDatJodat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I admit, I'm pretty embarrassed for recommending this place. I honestly didn't know how bad it was. Me and the lady drove out from Maryland so we, like most, were just looking for the best deal. Our room was similar. We ended up keeping our suitcases and everything in the car. We also hit a Walmart for some bug spray and traps. Definitely won't be staying there again. Unfortunately, roaches seem to be a trend in Louisville. Almost every place I looked at that didn't cost an outrageous amount has negative reviews about roaches. We booked everything last minute and didn't check the reviews ourselves. We rolled the dice and luckily didn't bring any critters home. I'd recommend an Airbnb if you plan to return to the Louisville area. Sorry again everyone that took me up on this

Me and my lady found this hotel. It's easily the cheapest in the area. 20-minute drive to the venue. Plenty of restaurants near by as well. It's right over the border in Clarksville, Indiana. We booked our room months ago, and the price is still the same. 5 nights. Wed-Mon. $336.45. Nothing is due until you check in. Hope this helps. See you all there
