Rothbury July 3-6

Sounds like this is the place to be this summer. Everyone on the wakarusa forums are just eating the rothbury festival UP lol. Gotta love a good vibe And yes, the "Good Life" (cabins and hot tubs) are 1600 per person. VIP are probably much much less. But good life gives you vip access as well...


Veroness: Yonder and Lotus you could find both at a smaller festival im sure. Lotus is absolutely on fire right now, i cant wait to see them in early April here in Lawrence. I just caught them open up for STS9 at the Pageant in St Louis over Mardi Gras Weekend, and Lotus was just incredible. The amount theyve gotten better in the last 6 months is astonishing. And theyre playing a late night set at Wakarusa! They always kill it there as well....gonna be a good summer for sure lol. But on the other hand, i wonder if Rothbury will be the only time Fishman gets down with Yonder. That will be a special treat


i for one will not be going to the Roth.....they have a lot of really cool bands, and a lot of bands that make me wanna throw up all over my shirt. all i have enough money two fests, and i already baught my waka ticket (its so close and cheap for me, A+ music, never is a bad time.) and i will also be heading to Sonic Bloom to see my favorite stuff...but im sure this will be a jolly good time nontheless. The "first time" fests are always the best years to go. It was for Bonnaroo and Wakarusa, and im sure a lot others. Just magic in the air, its great

 

anybody else score the early bird tix today? I was able to get 2, most of my pals missed out

 

Are they sold out?

 

just the early bird which were 45 cheaper. But with all the hype and excitment around EVERYONE for this, i bet all 50k tickets go fairly rapidly.

 

I know there is no way to determine, but how much longer do you think before its sold out? I'm a festival noob...

I'm waiting on my sister to see if she'll be able to get it off work, but it might be a day or two before I know. I'm crossing my fingers there'll still be some for sale.

 

ha you've got plenty of time. I'd guess mid-may at the EARLIEST for a sellout. I know a lot people are waiting to see what all the festivals have to offer before dishing out the cash. I do think this has great potential this year for a large festie.

 

I wouldnt worry about a sellout. There are always people selling their tickets, and the closer to the festival time, the cheaper they are. I rarely buy tickets a week before the actual even.

 

this is the first time i've seen anyone say that they actually got early bird tix, it's nice to know they do exist. i know of people who bought theirs at 11:58am (they went on sale at noon) and still didn't get early bird.

 

this is definitely where i'm heading this summer, by far!

 

thats fuckin HUGE for them boys... good job.. i've gotten to hang out with them on a few occassions they definitely deserve to be there..

 

Oh Yea!

Hey, I just got my tickets today! This will acctually be my first "decent" - non local bands type festival...

I am so excited about this one...

and Theivory Corporation.... oh man!

Hey, we should do a hipforum brunch for anyone thats going...

Peace

I am so fucking excited to see Thievery Corp. I've been loving them for years and I've never gotten a chance to see them live... much less at an awesome festival environment such as this! SO FREAKIN STOKED!!!

 

the line up is awesome, and it looks like it will be a great festival.

tickets are just a little ridiculous, i'd rather spend the money on bonnaroo or lollapalooza

 

Hey Misty,

You gotta ignore the name of the festival, and look at the lineup... I think the Rothbury lineup is ten times better than Bonnaroo... I use to dream of doing Bonnaroo one day, but to be honest, I'm not up for haning out with a Metalica crowed for a weekend... sure the band is ok, but the vibs just won't be the same...

I think something happend (not sure what it was), but someone said MTV got involved with Bon... and since then, its been a shitty festival... (imo).

Here is gonna be more intimate, smaller crowed (cool vibes), and really, I just paid $250 for a ticket... I know some wierd folks that paid $300 to see Elton John for about 2 hours...

 

Schedule is up folks

Going to be SICK...some conflicts not as many as I was expecting...EOTO vs RRE late night is going to be super tough call for me

 

i would loveeeee to go to this festival. but i don't think it's gonna happen. hopefully the line-up is just as good next year.

 

i would especially LOVE to see modest mouse, the wailers, and thievery corporation.

 

What happened to Ray Lamontagne playing?

 

Does anyone want to miracle me for this show. Will dance for my ticket..

 

Why not get a job for the ticket?
