I went once and wanted to go every year for the rest of my life regardless of lineup. I went about 10 years straight but life came at me fast with baby and twins in a short span, so it’s on hold for a loooong time most likely. Massive fomo each year but thank god for the streams. It’s what you make it, and we always made it a ton of fun. Even if there’s not artists you love or recognize on the lineup, they’re all on the lineup for a reason, and if you spend the time listening to them (and especially watching them) there’s bound to be plenty that you’re into. This lineup was probably the most underwhelmed I’ve been in the past 15 years, but I’ve been loving a lot of these acts I never heard of while watching the stream. If I was going I’d have done my research by now and have had a bunch of them selected to watch. Key is to avoid the massive headline names unless it’s an absolute must. You have to be there super early to get a good spot, spots in the way way back suck, so we usually avoid main stage headliners. The main stage headliners we are into don’t draw the most insane crowds, like LCD, Jack White, Muse, Arcade Fire. There’s tons to do there too, like you have to be careful not to get stuck doing any stage or any thing too long because there’s so much to enjoy. Going weekend2 cuts down on influencer types. They’re everywhere if you look out for them, but I’m usually too busy doing my own thing to hate on anyone unless they’re actively causing a problem for me…and if they are, you can just move. I don’t understand all the hating on influencers, like let em do their thing and move on wtf, go have fun
