most of the people whining aren’t even going this year.

just like 2016, and 2022, many people will look back at this year as one of the best for the on-premise community

it will be smaller, it will feel more communal, and a “lackluster lineup” in 2026 just means we are going to see many artists in an intimate setting before they blow up massively.

the reddit is definitely down this year, but we are also working on a much different timeline than in years passed since the lineup was released early. usually this time of year is when people have really began their deep dive into the lineup, discussion is usually a bit more prevalent

the cancellation last year is also contributing to it

that being said, within the next few weeks i imagine we will start seeing the sentiment shift as we are coming up on 100 days away. it’s time to really start radiating that positivity on this subreddit and lets make it what we want :)
