As long as we can dodge schedule altering storms I am willing to put up with some heat. We look somewhat decent so far on that front, but it's Ohio so a lot can change.

And even with the scatter t-storms, a few pop up storms that are just some heavy rain and nothing too serious might be kind of welcome if it's almost 90, too. Like you said, as long as it doesn't muck up any of the schedule. |

I have learned to embrace the rain at shows and it makes for a great experience |

I was pretty excited when I looked at the forecast a couple weeks ago and saw highs in the 70s. 90 sucks ass. I was not able to enjoy Moon Taxi and Flogging Molly like I wanted to last year due to heat and sun.

I was not able to enjoy Moon Taxi and Flogging Molly like I wanted to last year due to heat and sun. My trick last year was to grab a free bandanna and soak it in water from the water fill up spot. Re-wet it every time I switch stages and it worked flawlessly. Also, avoid cotton. Get a sleeveless wicking shirt and some light shorts and compression shorts to avoid swamp ass |

4 days 16 hours and about 30 minutes away from Friday at 1! The weather looks hot but it seems as if it’s going to stay dry throughout the weekend

The latest is looking good. Humid with rain chance Friday but 80/60 Sat/Sun with low humidity and low rain chance. Not sure if you could ask for better.

Especially since it's been mid-high 90's last weekend. Might be slightly muddy, but comfortable temps We just have to hop the Friday rain holds off until chainsmokers go on |

Looks like the chance of rain has improved for Friday. Not any higher than around 50% in the late afternoon/evening. Also, the temps have dropped almost 10 degrees since we all were like - ugh, crap 90?!  |

I think a rain coat is a must have this year Definitely more chance of rain than I'm willing to be without a poncho or rain coat, agreed. Saturday is the only day that doesn't look like one of those days where pop up crap will just be anywhere at any time. |

Other than VIP tents and under the bridge in the middle, there is ZERO cover from rain |

Looking at Weather.com the temp looks to be lower all weekend, and less chance of storms tomorrow.

I remember I had the time of my life at BigGrams afterwards. They aren't weird about bringing jackets in or anything are they? I'd prefer a jacket over a poncho. |

Mine has come in handy for the flash rain storms we seem to get once a Bunbury... |

A few years ago that happened and they pretty much shut everything down for an hour or so. Once the storms stopped they started bringing everything back up and then released an updated schedule through the app. Pretty sure everyone still played they just condensed the set times.

Anyone know what the process is if it storms BAD? The worst it has been has been an hour...people huddle under the bridges, vendors bring them in to their tents. It's all good. Set times get dropped by 15-30 minutes, which isn't the worst in the world if the artist understands that and just plays the best songs off their set and doesn't try to be cute. I thought Phantograms handled it well. |
