We walked right up to dead center, third row pav seats and stayed there all night.

we must have been right beside each other for dr. dog and FM - third row dead center is exactly where the missus and i were sitting.

Not a fan of the Avett Bros?? They put on a helluva show...

I'm thinking this should be the last year ever for that festival, I heard they only sold 3k tickets.

3K!?

If that number is correct, how was it not cancelled? There is no way 3k in ticket sales was enough to even come close to supporting a festival with that many acts.

That's what some worker at the festival was saying and by his account, it pretty much looked like that in the stands. Looked like a highschool gymnasium crowd at a girl's basketball game.

i think that 3k number is a little low, i'd put it closer to 5k.  during FM center pav, R:C and L:C were about half full and there was a decent crown on the lawn.

but it was definitely a small crowd and it must have been a money-loser.  had they booked it any other week except the one immediately after freefest, they would have done better.  weather didn't help either.

No question having the FreeFest the week before had an effect on the HFStival turnout. That said, I actually liked the music more for HFStival. Lionize was terrific, Flogging Molly was more energetic than anyone who played FreeFest and The Avett Brothers were amazing. Of course what can I say about Clutch, they are just hands down the best live band I've ever seen. Good times.
