This is gonna be rough to follow throughout the weekend. I really hope Promowest is taking notice of the lack of energy and lack of any buzz around this festival. Joy Wave is killing it and the crowd is good. They really should have been allowed to fill in for Blink last year. They even said it after the first song lol

Joywave was awesome. Pigeons Playing Ping Pong kicked add too. Poppy is just weird. Bayside sounded dece.
I got there at 3. No lines at all. The festival is empty. I left after PPP. The crowd was all teens coming in for FOB as we left.
I can’t decide if I’m coming at 2 for Shaed and Flora Cash tomorrow or if I want to watch Liverpool Spurs and come for Dashboard.

From what I'm seeing on Insta, crowd looks pretty solid. Gotta wonder how many passes were distributed for free though

Their instagram makes it look pretty crowded. Especially STP. I dont what you mean by closing the bridge but I get the sense it’s not a good thing! Are they still selling the $1 snacks outside of the US Bank arena entrance? Thats was like so clutch last year.

Are they still selling the $1 snacks outside of the US Bank arena entrance? Thats was like so clutch last year. STP truly was dead. In comparison to Post last year? I kid not, half the crowd. I split at about 9:25 to get a spot for FOB in VIP and couldn’t get over how empty the festival was. FOB wasn’t even jammed in VIP. I will say STP may have had a smaller crowd because of all the people waiting on FOB. Overall, solid day for not having many bands I gave a damn about. Orphan/Poet were “good bad,” Poppy was ... strange ..., RADATTACK boyo really wants to be Luke Spiller, Joywave was lit, Bayside was whatever, Pigeons brought the funk, STP slayed, and FOB was pretty good. I appreciated them playing 15min “over” with their two extra songs. I much prefer their older stuff but they at least played a couple from TTTYG. Next stop — Monster Energy Stage rail all day Saturday. I’ll be the dude with the chick G E T T I N G I T to Dashboard.

Yeah I’m sure STP was half of what Post had, that day was friggen jam packed. Post had the biggest crowd I have ever seen at Bunbury.
Lines were pretty short everywhere and very few bottle necks. I guess that’s what ya get when you sell 7,000 fewer tickets a day.

recap from yesterday.
mgk was surprisingly a good time. my buddy shared a joint with him so that was an experience.
nf was ok. a little too similar to 21 pilots.
fob fucking rocked it out of the park. also the 2nd band after muse i've seen play an encore at bunbury. overall a surprisingly amazing day.

Sweet! You were the guys that shared the joint. I was over behind VIP. MGK made reference to your side being awesome. Another band noticing the VIP side is deadso

Feels like a much bigger crowd today. Tons of Greta shirts. Dashboard killed it. Blue October is currently killing it. I skipped on Flora Cash Shaed and Jukebox for the soccer game.

listening to sublime with rome from a distance and they sound like absolute shit. an absolute insult to one of my favorite bands. also, pretty sure i'm the only dude in a sublime shirt who isn't seeing them.

Jukebox was amazing!!! AWOL was good, better than I expected. Flora Cash was...odd. I listened as I waited for Jukebox.

Interesting. I thought they sounded decent. It’s just not my thing. We left before Greta. I had no interest in seeing that. I was laughing at the people that were wearing Led Zep shirts unironically.

Dude I was talking to on my way back to my AirBnB was also talking shit about them. Meh.
I thought it was cold that AWOLNATION did a Zep riff during their set. Ouch. Goteem.
But whatever, GvF slayed. Girlfriend managed a setlist of theirs and a pick. Also an AWOLNATION setlist. Good day for sure.

Honestly, I've been impressed by the crowds I've seen on social media. I suppose we're only seeing certain angles, but its still nice to see it isn't a total flop. Best case scenario: They are down quite a bit but not enough to put the fest in jeopardy and they realize they need to make some serious changes in who they book moving forward.

Black GvF “Save the Parklands” shirt. Spent my whole day at VIP rail and got sunburnt to shit.
