Chin for a Day Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Does anyone even still listen to Kings Of Leon? Not that I know of and I think the festival is finding that out just about now.
Guest Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Not that I know of and I think the festival is finding that out just about now. Very odd that they'd have a band who's never had a No. 1 album or single as headliner. Most of their singles since 2008 haven't even charted. Weezer probably would have been a better choice.
Tek Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Tickets bought...well for Friday at least. I live in Louisville and there was no way I would miss out on Green Day being this close...although it sucks with the weird ass lineups. What is funny is I paid just about the same amount yesterday for Louder Than Life which has 47 bands. ROB ZOMBIE, ZZ TOP, GODSMACK, SHINEDOWN, LYNYRD SKYNYRD SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS BREAKING BENJAMIN, 3 DOORS DOWN, BRING ME THE HORIZON SEETHER, CHEVELLE, COLLECTIVE SOUL OF MICE & MEN, BLACK STONE CHERRY, HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD, ATREYU, SEVENDUST SKID ROW, KENTUCKY HEADHUNTERS, TREMONTI, HINDER ISSUES, WE CAME AS ROMANS, SAINT ASONIA NOTHING MORE, 10 YEARS, BUTCHER BABIES STARSET, WE ARE HARLOT, BEARTOOTH TURBOWOLF, THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT, MARMOZETS ART OF DYING, ARANDA, GLORIOUS SONS DOROTHY, LIKE A STORM, KILL IT KID ALL THEM WITCHES, WHISKEY MYERS, JELLY ROLL RED SUN RISING, GOODBYE JUNE, RAVENEYE CILVER, ROMANTIC REBEL
JardyOfSuburbia Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I hope Weezer plays some stuff off of their new album. I thought that was their best record since Pinkerton and it deserved more recognition.
DarcyJ76 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 While I am absolutely a wimp and can't stand the heat, my biggest thing is that I have Asperger's (whine whine, I know, lame) and the thought of being trapped in the pit...I can't handle that. The sensory overload would kill me. Think Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime for reference. I need to be able to think I have a somewhat accessible escape route should I get completely overwhelmed, and that I won't be completely touching many other people. I don't think I'm better than anyone, I just really legit cannot handle it. I feel bad for buying the Ignited pass, like I'm not a real fan or something, but I have to accommodate what I know will be really overwhelming. Please forgive me. I swear I'm a real fan. I'm also really fat and no one wants a fat girl hanging out in the pit, that's where all the attractive people are. Wow, this came off sounding a lot more self deprecating than I intended! Anyway, Ignited or not, I'll still be there alone if anyone wants to say hi. I won't look you in the eyes and I'm horrible at making conversation and prone to just making random statements, but I'm nice!
Adrii1039 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Got my tickets for Friday!!!! Im so excited for this road trip! I just got a single day pass, I cant afford an ignited pass. Also! I noticed there is a Superfan option: SuperFans have access to many of the same amenities as the Ignited Pass holders, with a General Admission price tag, because Super Fans are earned, not bought. We support the music and the fans who love it, which is why we’re offering a high-roller experience for the passionate followers. All you have to do is purchase a General Admission wristband and stay tuned as the SuperFan selection process heats up! I Anyone know how we can access these? hmmm. (sorry about the white background text, i copied and pasted this info and it showed up like that.)
Adrii1039 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 You have to enter a contest, it's all on the NiFi Facebook page ahhhh, I had a feeling it might have been for a contest type of thing. thanks for the info!
Chin for a Day Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Very odd that they'd have a band who's never had a No. 1 album or single as headliner. Most of their singles since 2008 haven't even charted. Weezer probably would have been a better choice. I agree that Weezer would have been a much better choice. As much as I like them, I don't think they are a great headliner either for a festival. If I were going I might actually consider staying on Saturday, but I'm still not sure it would be worth it. I'm also really fat and no one wants a fat girl hanging out in the pit, that's where all the attractive people are. I would like to say that being fat has nothing to do with not being attractive. I know plenty of overweight people that are gorgeous and plenty of thin people that are butt ugly. There is alot more to being attractive other than the physical. I think you're great and have an awesome tattoo.

Guest Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 It's basically for people who aren't hardcore enough to earn barricade spots by standing in the heat all day long #HOBFoundationRoom I wonder if any GDAers will get this comped. It'd definitely be your choice of beer (Budweiser, of course) or wine (boxed wine for 5 bucks). And you only get one. Hey, my aunt inhales Franzia, and she insists that it tastes just like wine from a $40 bottle. ...I have no interest in finding out. LYNYRD SKYNYRD lmao keep requesting Free Bird for the entire show.

Tek Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 lmao keep requesting Free Bird for the entire show. psssh I do that for every concert I go to...but I'm sure it will happen when they play...
desertrose Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Kentucky Speedway to host new music festival with rock, country, punk bands http://www.kentucky.com/2015/06/15/3901813_kentucky-speedway-to-host-new.html?rh=1
Matt1503 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I don't know if anyone else noticed it, but when you purchase a single day ticket, it say that the door will open at 1pm but when you purchase a 3-days pass, it say that the door will open at 12pm. So do you think that people people who purchased 3 Day pass will have an earlier access to the festival that the one who bought 1 day ticket?
drumstick Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 can someone explain what are igniited passes? Would I still be able to get to the barrier with GA pass?
WhiteTim Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I don't know if anyone else noticed it, but when you purchase a single day ticket, it say that the door will open at 1pm but when you purchase a 3-days pass, it say that the door will open at 12pm. So do you think that people people who purchased 3 Day pass will have an earlier access to the festival that the one who bought 1 day ticket? Yes that's pretty common practice
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I highly doubt enough people to fill an entire barrier are going to buy ignited passes to an event that has been struggling to sell tickets from the start. I think the ignited passes are bullshit too and that's part of the reason I don't really buy into that sort of thing (and the fact that I'm broke). We should be fine to get barrier as long as we show up at a decent time. It all depends on how much people move around throughout the day too.
Khaleesi. Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 yeah the concept of passes with 'exclusive' content really irks me. just because people can't afford to buy these passes doesn't make them any less deserving to be up close. it makes me sad that people might miss out just because they don't have a whole bunch of money to throw around.
drumstick Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Probably, yeah. I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to. thanks! I don't know..I just don't get why are those tickets so expensive then.. I also wanted to ask if anyone is driving from cincinnati? Or know the best option how to get to the festival from there. I'm flying in to Cincinnati on thursday morning, I'll be all by myself btw so if anyone wants to hang out I would be more than happy
Teenage Kicks! Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Sounds like they're gonna divide the front into like three areas. One for ignited one for regular ga and one for super fans. I asked in an email and got this response. "We're still finalizing things, but what it's looking like right now is that there will be a fenced off area for a portion of the front leading diagonally all the way back to the Ignited Lounge for Ignited passholders, and another on the other side for SuperFan winners. Then a portion will remain for regular GA passholders. Hope that is helpful! "
Khaleesi. Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 sounds like GA gets the middle then? i'm ok with that
Teenage Kicks! Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 aren't they promising "SuperFans" front and center? Lol nifi
