Peach Festival 2016

[aparfitt]

The Persiad meteor showers are happening at the same time as Peach. Could be a good show and we would likely already be awake for the best viewing......

I know a lot of people who were doing or have done the double with Peach and Lockn. It isn't undoable, butt he date change makes this much more difficult for people to do both. Work and all. And energy for some people.

peach fest is cheaper, has a water park, a solid line up, transportation and hopefully the weather will be better. do they have a forum? since i intend on not going to lockn i should go "troll" that one. think my job is done and you know how wrong it is to lose a day, etc, and how gross baphomet is. not sure if the baphomet thing has sunk in to be honest, but in no way should the devil be a glue to hold anything together, never mind it is just plain offensive to look at. not sure why i want to say this, but at lockn it looked like there were 5000 people at the absolute most, and i mean it, i would guess at much less. there were about 100 people in ga camping, 200 in car camping, etc. at bonnaroo there were 30,000 when i went and campsites as far as the eye could see. so that's weird. i am happy that fests are taking breaks, hopefully they are doing some soul searching or not coming back. i think the new date is better for weather, if anything. i also heard the lockn people bought the venue but now it seems they haven't, however it certainly was reported they bought oak ridge farm. don't get that, but moving forward, the lockn experience was somehow marked on my soul, even before i went i thought it was a good idea, but it was kind of just redundant and disappointing, though i had a small amount of fun. hats off to the person who helped me make it there (good job all in all), and to those who set my shade tent up, and to the folks who were nice, and to the person who even tried to get me a refund online, etc. adios and on to a solid future!

actually, looking at the line up for peach it pretty much stinks. i was wrong. warren haynes can be a little much, but seeing as he's not at the peach fest it ruins it for me, in conjunction with some very lame bands, except for the water park aspect, forget it. he keeps things earthly-feeling. i like the allman bros, don't know why they had to break up since there was only one original member and they just cover their songs essentially. string cheese is ok, don't like the singing or the phish-esque riffs. lame-apod. oh well. looks like phish is making a come back, don't hate them but their influence and the dead and their similar high pitched riffs get old. bye now, hopefully again, forever. who knows what will be singing you to sleep at the end of the festival days.

Looks & feels real nice. Peach has a great line up if I could do 2 festivals this year I'd be there & on the Peach Forum. I'll be trolling & hope you have a great time.

They make some very large tarps in all colors..........

 Get rid of the house, buy a RV to live in & go to Peach. Wait a minute, that sounds like fun. Hey Joanne, Joanne, are you attached to this house.

 You sound like my wife. If I could just figure out how to pay for food, booze, fuel and tix I'd be all in.

Peach is a great deal for their festival. Their early bird ticket is only $99.

That said, I think their lineup was stronger the past two years than this lineup. I mean, I would go and I'm sure it will be great. I don't see it as some kind of mountain to climb, though.



Wow. Peach has a great line-up and is less expensive. Not as close to home as Lockn though. Can't do both... decisions, decisions. If only we had more info on the yet-to-be-announced additional acts. Would love to see Dead & Co, Phil n friends, DSO, Leftover Salmon, ABB, Tedischi Trucks, Michael Franti, Galactic, Disco Bisquits, Pretty Lights, Moe., and more!
