Very solid lineup. I'm in for Saturday at least. Very deep undercard that day. And, as we discussed, this is the festival that filled the "alt nation" void in this area. Very good bookings. I see five I'm excited about Saturday alone. Response I'm seeing is very positive.

$299 for VIP is a bit extreme if you ask me...

Does that include booze? If so, that's about the only justification, and even then it's expensive.

Did a little bit of digging and the address I found for the festival is 2507 Summit Street. The Rumba Cafe is 2505 Summit Street so it appears that this will be at Rumba Cafe? This has to be some kind of mess up I wonder if they are looking here. I just got an update on facebook that they changed the address to 2540 Olentangy River RD |

Two Saturday tickets acquired! All those great bands for 45 bucks was just too good to pass up. This is a festival I really want to support and they've given a solid lineup to work with. The in and out privileges for single day are a nice plus too. I think this festival will do quite well, especially on the OSU campus

My group is still on the fence. I'm afraid we are going to wait too long and miss out on this early bird deal and the tickets will go way up

I'm guessing $65-$75 for single day. It's just getting the gang to buy in so I am not going by myself |

It's just getting the gang to buy in so I am not going by myself I understand. My sister lives in Columbus and loves the lineup so we snagged tickets before they went up and are recruiting more people now. It's a well liked lineup and my friends are genuinely interested. I figure if plans fall through I can sell the tickets and recoup what I paid because of the super low price I got them for. 45 bucks for 5 bands I could spend 25+ on to see individually is a hell of a deal. |

Right now Sunday doesn't do a whole lot for me as I am not familiar with a lot of the artists outside of Ben Harper, X Ambassadors, and Flora Cash but I will probably end up getting into them and then be upset I didn't do the whole weekend lol |

I got to see them in a record store acoustic show in 17 and was blown away by their skills on the acoustic guitars alone. Can't wait to see a full set. Bishop Briggs is another great one to look into. |

Got the early bird ones this morning. $150 for 2 2-day passes is like an incredible deal. Pretty jazzed for this festival.

Son of a bitch. I was in meetings and missed out on early bird. I am still hoping I can cruise around community events in the next few months snag free tickets like I did for Promowest Fest

I am still hoping I can cruise around community events in the next few months snag free tickets like I did for Promowest Fest Tickets did jump to 59 per day and 89 for the weekend. Really quite reasonable and considerably cheaper than Laurelive's 125 for the weekend. Especially with the deeper undercard. I assume they're thinking volume will be higher for this one. |

Schedule is out for WOnderbus! I appreciate that they build in ten to fifteen minutes between sets so that it is easier to get from stage to stage and not miss the start or end of a set.

Also, just throwing out that they're running 30% off promotion the next 24 hours. This can't be a good sign... I now have a wedding I have to be the +1 at so looks like I wont be able to attend the fest  |

I now have a wedding I have to be the +1 at so looks like I wont be able to attend the fest I saw this and was surprised. I feel like I know a decent amount of people that are going to it. They definitely should advertise heavy to the college kids too, they'll probably be back on campus around that time and it's a stones throw from campus so super easy to get to. I'm very intrigued to see what the set up is going to be. |

I'm very intrigued to see what the set up is going to be. I am too. The schedule is set up exactly like Laurelive so I expect something very similar layout wise. Looks like they have designated areas for chairs and and a shade oasis near each main stage which is a little different than most festivals. |
