quasi-official 2010 festival thread

kitch · 02-18-2010, 05:07 PM

what are you psyched about this year? what do you want to go to? what's been pissing you off? Any discussion of any music festivals is welcome.

personally I'm pretty excited about Nateva. First year festival in Oxford ME July 4th weekend.

Also gonna try to make Strange Creek, Mountain Jam, Wormtown and a couple smaller gigs around here.

I will NOT be attending the gathering of the vibes since it's in Bridgeport again. Every year it's down there it just turns into the gathering of the bad vibes.

So what's got yer eye?

to find festivals near you check out Jambase's festival guide

Doin up Waka then Bon. Pumped for how amazingly beautiful waka is supposed to be. got some arkansas travel shit so I'm hopin I'll have some time to hit up a couple cool things on the way in/out.
I was way pumped about the rumors of neil young at bon, but that fell through. Supposedly they couldn't come to terms on a deal with him. idk the truth in that, but I'm still crossin my fingers for a late add for him. It would make my weekend.

volunteer in august for edmonton folk music festival and thinking about volunteering in june in oslo for the norwegian wood festival. both festivals i have worked at before.

i'll be away most of the summer so i will miss a couple good festivals here. i don't know where i'll be, but i might check out a couple festivals in europe over summer. belgrade beer festival was pretty awesome last year

**Bearsy** · 02-18-2010, 06:03 PM

Hopefully going to the Great Blue Heron in July.

kitch · 02-21-2010, 01:36 PM

so Furthur and Keller Williams announced for Nateva and I got a spot volunteering for Camp Firefly. Why the hell they gotta make me choose?

**Mafoo** · 02-21-2010, 01:39 PM

(coming back this year) Beyond Wonderland
The Electric Daisy Carnival
Narnia Festival
Jujubeats
Nocturnal Festival

Grieves · 02-21-2010, 01:51 PM

protip: if you volunteer to be a faded lazy worker you get in for free. nobody expects you to work hard anyway

Sasquatch looks hella fun. I'd love to go.

Grieves · 02-21-2010, 03:33 PM

Last year was amazing, and the lineup this year is lookin pretty solid too...I am certianly looking forward to it...

kitch · 02-21-2010, 03:36 PM

I always volunteer when I can, ussually they don't even have you do anything.

Captain Cannabis · 02-21-2010, 03:53 PM

standing around wearing a staff tshirt for a couple hours is probably the most you will be expected to do

myxomatosis · 02-21-2010, 10:21 PM

Or picking up trash for 10 hours straight in the hot as fuck TN sun.

Anyway, Bonnaroo again for me.

421 · 02-21-2010, 10:37 PM

i've had my eye on nateva also. would be cool to spend my july 4th with bob and phil again this year...also all good, lineup looks good and it's close to home. will certainly be at camp barefoot again this year (a great small fest that's close to home). my main priority is trying to make it to hornings hideout for string cheese but its sold out along with red rocks. fuck the bastard sites that bought up all the tickets and added another $400 to the price tag...i absolutely can't wait for the summer so much great stuff going on

kitch · 03-01-2010, 09:37 AM

421: I have the email addy for the producer of nateva, if you're interested in volunteering PM me.
