APW Festival

[Sage 703]

I'm probably in for Friday and Saturday, barring some huge surprises from Lollapalooza or V Fest.

callat, i assume you're throwing lolla into the mix b/c of cost considerations, or because you can only handle one festival per month? (old man...   )
 
 lolla is the preceding weekend, 1-3 Aug.

The lineups on the second two stages are much better than the headlining stages. Too bad they don't sell discounted tickets for people who don't give a shit about the bands whose presence drives up the cost of the tickets...

oh dang nabbit I'm agreeing with Charlie on this one... also preferably presented at some time other than the middle of summer...

That would be great if you could buy a time-allotment for tickets, or just prove your too cool for school to like the headliner.  I've probably go to a lot more of these things...

Yeah, mostly just having to pick and choose.  I can't really do two big weekends out of town in the same month.

re: jack johnson he once played iota... apparently it was a zoo because he on the verge of breaking to the masses at that point.

If Rogue Wave plays at V-Fest, I'll be thrilled!

[xneverwherex]

damn! $258 for this. I live here and wouldnt have to worry about finding a place to stay but that still seems ridiculous! now im just hoping radiohead plays somewhere in the city and ill be happy.
 
 i would so love to go to this because of the convenience but just trying to justify the cost on that ticket is impossible.

xNWx - if you buy single-day passes for friday and saturday (skip sunday's jack-johnson-o-thon), that brings it down to $200 with all the fees.  dunno if that's any less scary for ya.

 I hope they're planning on some heavy additions.

supposedly not.  they might add a band or two to each day, but the idea is to have all performers do full sets - which means they can't pack too much more into the lineup.

$200 is just as scary. I mean at that rate I might as well get the 3 days for the extra $58. In other news, Id gladly pay $40-$50 to see Verve 2 nights! I think I'll be passing altogether on APW, but there is a ferry going from NYC directly there which does make it a bit more convenient and a little more tempting

Pardon my ignorance, but have the dates for V Fest been confirmed, and if so, what are they?

Yes - they are the same weekend.

Ahhh... so folks are trying to figure out if an artist who plays one night at APW might conceivably be at V Fest the next, etc.?
