I'm absolutely wiped and still deciding if I'm going to even go today because I'd much rather just lay in my hotel lmao. If I do go, I'm seeing:

445-530 Better Lovers
540-620 Strife
635-715 Judge
705-740 Bouncing Souls
740-825 Mae
845-935 Armor for Sleep
945-1055 Bane

 

I’m feeling the FOMO kick in, so I’ll probably make it for Callous, haha.

I was laying on the grassy hill by the pond in the shade next to the stairs yesterday watching Militarie Gun and honestly it was the move. I think I sat through at least half the bands I watched yesterday.

 

The price is so tempting... I never bought a ticket to a festival without seeing the lineup first, might be the time

 

I did for FF22 and FF23. Both worked out pretty well. I trust these guys and think a lot of the 2021 bands are coming back with 20 year album plays.

 

Seeds coffee is delicious and on-site.

 

We’ll overlap for Valleyheart, Better Lovers, and BTBAM, so I’ll try to find you and say what up

 

I had some of theirs last year! May grab an iced coffee if my stomach can’t take another free monster during Casey. I pounded three cups of coffee and my caffeinated protein shake. Should make it in just in time for Daoboys if I don’t get caught by my fifth successive train, haha.

 

All official merch marked 50% off. Just got the 2022 art poster, the 2021 book, a long sleeve tee, and the enamel pin for $44.

 

Wishlist for next year? 3 I would want to see


Extol (since it did not happen this year due to visa issues)
Starflyer 59
The Dillinger Escape Plan (reunion might not be possible but it would cool headliner choice)

 

I think Senses Fail are doing an album play next year

 

I think Rise Against, AFI, and Yellowcard would be great headliners for next year.

 

Something Corporate, anyone?

 

Mychildren MyBride have already kinda said/hinted they would be playing. If it ends up being it you assume Norma Jean again right? Maybe they get them to do Memphis with Josh? Whatever band Keith Buckley is doing?

 

Yes plz

 

my 401k for the chariot (which is 15k less than they offered them in 2021)

 

Chasing Victory out here just healing my soul from 16 years of absence. What a special, messy set hahaha

 

i need every detail.

 

Oceans Away
Chemicals
Fiends
The Killer Is Me
Zombies
The Night Your Guardian Angel Fell Asleep with the screamer of Showdown
Wolves with the screamer of someone I missed
Unrequited Love

Taste was cut due to some technical difficulties. Crowd up close was loud and rowdy and knew every song.

I loved all their daughters (like aged 4-12) watching their dads do this for the first time on the side stage. It was very heartwarming.

 

I think someone in here asked about songs from a penalty box. I grabbed a code if you need it!

 

Casey sound incredible

 

Living vicariously through you hah.
Also super glad more people getting exposed to Casey. I was super bummed a couple years ago when they broke up and they JUST announced new stuff, glad they get a chance to come over from the UK and hopefully get a new audience.

 

Valleyheart was an awesome change of pace. Defeater were down a guitarist and a little lower on energy than I would’ve liked, but Dave from PBTT was drumming for them and he killed it. Caught a little Chasing Victory, but only liked Fiends back in the day and didn’t know what else was going on. Sitting on the steps listening to It Dies Today to rest up before Better Lovers and BTBAM in the sun.

 

Valleyheart were lovely.

I’ve got a space in the tree shade by the main stage if you want to come catch the last Casey song/get a shade spot for those two.

 

The Insyderz have a song right now that I swear sounds like 1999 Kid Rock and I am having a B L A S T
