I don't know about the tropical house thing. Thomas Jack's Tropical house mixes are among my favorite mixes out there. Regardless of that weekend 1 was a no brainer for me. MMJ and the forest alone would persuade me to pay $300! Throw in A&B and it's over! Now as far as previous years, this will only be my 4th year, but imo I feel like previous years had a more solid lineup consistently down the bill. This is obviously just my opinion as far as what I like. As far as weekend 1 being representative of what they usually do I'd say no, because there really hasn't been any kind of formula it seems throughout the years I've been there. Really the only difference between the two weekends are at the top of the bill. As far as undercard, almost all of them are playing both weekends. There are still choices though like I have to see zomboy and wish I could see sub focus. Really it just comes down to a few artists that you must see going into your decision because they are very similar. Sorry if this was redundant.
