Is anyone attending any festivals this summer. I will do Bunbury for the first time this year. In going to wait for the artist day by day breakdown before I decide if I'll do one day or all three.

Then I'm deciding between Bonaroo is Tennessee or Firefly in Deleware. I will have to make a decision by Monday so any input I'll take. Both festivals should cost about the same.

Firefly Lineup: https://fireflyfestival.com/lineup/

Bonnaroo: http://lineup.bonnaroo.com

Going to do bunbury for the first time, too.

I do Lollapalooza every year since it's right next door to me.

Would love to do bonnaroo but don't know about the camping thing.

I've done Bonnaroo a few times the camping isn't bad at all. The biggest problem there is the heat.

Which is part of the camping problem I have.

It's hot as fuck at Lolla but after the shows I can go home to my air conditioned house and sleep in a bed.

At bonnaroo I'm going to a hot tent.

Considered making a new thread but since theirs this one discussing music already - Anyone heard of Echosmith?

An Indy/pop rock band of siblings from L.A.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echosmith


They were just on Kelly and Michael playing this song. Not bad.

I'm getting a 3-day pass for Bunbury this year. It will be my first music festival. Not upset that I can drive 5 miles and sleep in my own bed at the end of each night.

I don't know about the setup of that festival. Location/camping/etc, but from my experience, camping is half of the fun.

I'm old. If I'm going to enjoy a camping trip I'm going to be going solo or with a few close friends. I don't want to camp with thousands of strangers.

Really only 2 headliners but after looking at the full lineup it's pretty awesome. I would take it over Bonnaroo and Coachella
