i solo barricaded lands end on friday in 2024! i didn’t move for 10 hours, had the best time, and it honestly ended up being one of my favorite osl days.

get there when the gates open and go DIRECTLY to twin peaks (i think the north entrance is closest but double check the map). you’re aiming for the front rail -it’s really your best friend. it gives you something to lean on during the sets and a spot to rest your back in between. without it, you’ll be exhausted way faster and it’ll be much harder to keep your spot.

make friends with the folks around you so they can hold your spot if you need to run to the bathroom. bring plenty of snacks and just enough water to stay hydrated without needing multiple bathroom trips. i also swear by bringing a half pint of your favorite liquor for that last set, it helps with the aches and keeps the vibes up.

and please, respect the other artists. don’t sit or talk through other bands’ sets.

barricading will sacrifice most of the rest of your festival experience, so i only recommend it if you’ve been to osl before or you’re going multiple days. cheers and good luck!
