The presale tickets were $60 for the weekend. They'll be more than that now but for two solid days of music that's not bad. It will be two stages so there's very little down time between sets.

Note that this is a much different experience than a usual free show at Hartwood so yes, they're trying to make their money through other means.

If it's like last years event, you're allowed reentry so there was the option to tailgate at your car and not rely on vendors for food.

If festivals aren't something you're used to, I can answer more questions about what to expect though I'm no expert.

I'm assuming you have T-Mobile home internet. What part of town do you live in and how has your internet service been so far? Any noticeable differences at different times of the day? Streaming use ok? Any info you could provide would be helpful.

I love shows at Hartwood, we go to a lot of them. This event is a major turn off for all the reasons we love the Hartwood experience.

$25 to PARK (Lord only knows how much these tickets will be)

NO DOGS :-| (It's. A. Park.)

No coolers or outside food & bev - ThE vEndIng iS paRt Of tHe eXperIenCe. (Bring your wallet, and it better be fat)

Lol - I was planning on building a flat bottom barge with a shack on it. Reminiscent of a turn of the century shanty. However, my luck turned for the better and I never did it. So no, this is not my boat.

Sometimes I wish I did though. If my luck turns even better and I have a financial windfall, maybe I’ll build it just for fun. I’ll dock it near the strip so it doesn’t bother anyone as much.

During the Great Depression there were large shanty communities built along our rivers, so it wouldn’t be the first time. If there’s going to be a bunch of people living on the river, I’d rather they be some shanty folk than rich people in their 500K houseboats.

Saw it announced and was pumped for the lineup! Honestly, pissed off I didn't go for the early bird pricing but yeah that was before bands were announced so it was too much of a gamble. But now, $109+ for two days, while not a bad price is getting up there. Throw in parking ($25, but not clear if that's a weekend pass or per day, I'm assuming the latter) and we may just do one of the days. The problem is picking which day, haha. It's a really good lineup, I don't think the top two acts can touch Isbell and Black Pumas from last year's Maplehouse, but the middle is strong with Matt Maeson, Airbone Toxic Event, Stephen Sanchez, The Head and the Heart, COIN, etc. Blue Stones are pretty killer and Smallpools fits the "festival" vibe. Don't sleep on Michigander.
