I can see Live Nation still putting this thing on even if it sells poorly, considering that they still put Sasquatch on for years of losses. Considering the size of the lineup and the types of acts (single person rap/EDM artists), this thing is designed to be low-cost and low-risk. I guess my point is that I would be super surprised if they cancel EotR before even getting a chance to grow it My biggest issue with this argument is the 2-night Bassnectar element. If he can’t prove that his fans will travel to see him for $300 per person between tix and camping (not counting transportation and all the other expenses that come with a 3-day fest) this thing is dead. If it was a 1 or even 2-day event I’d change my tune but it’s not. It’s a 3-day show that could be easily sold as a two-day event. That’s not nothing, The expense of this thing is higher than any of us think it is, as evidenced by the ticket and camping prices. LN knows how to market a single night event - just look at Arcade Fire. Given that they’re charging near-Sasquatch prices for a single-stage festival, all evidence points to a last-ditch cash grab. I’d be very surprised if they net any more profit than they did with Sasquatch 2018.

I’d be very surprised if they net any more profit than they did with Sasquatch 2018. So much of this. What this feels like to me is they had a one day mumble rap show and a two day Bassnectar show and decided, for whatever reason, to mash them together into one “don’t call it a festival.” If you take the shitty auto-tune rappers off the poster (i think they are all playing Friday anyway) and you have a fairly solid two day event. Sell me a ticket to that for $125 and I’m there, along with all the Bassnectar fans from around the country that you mentioned. I think they knew Uzi and Thugger wouldn’t be strong enough to sell on their own and thought they could force us to pay for all three days.

Honestly not what I thought at all. Like they would've been way better off catering to the Bassnectar crowd by booking someone like Space Jesus instead of Young Thug. And don't get me wrong I love me some Gogol Bordello but when people buy tickets to see Lil Uzi and Gogol is opening up they're going to be in for a surprise.
This will easily be the worst fest in the NW this year and that's saying a lot because I don't necessarily like what I've heard from Bumbershoot so far.

Do they have a breakdown of who is playing which day? Because aftermarket single day tickets to festivals at the Gorge are a thing that exists.

They haven’t said anything officially, but somebody over on r/Bassnectar claims to be able to confirm that all the rappers are performing back to back (presumably on Friday), which makes a lot of sense to me. In my mind, that makes Saturday-Sunday look something like this: Saturday: Somerandomsfromthebottom > Emancipator > STS9 (Sunset) > Santigold > Bassnectar Sunday: Somemorerandoms > Tom Morello > Gogol Bordello (Sunset) > Griz > Bassnectar Those are two solid main stage nights, in my opinion. Not worth $200, but like I said above, if I can get those two days for around $125, I’m all over it.

There is at least one person excited for a nectar double header Gorge dank down I heard you get a deal if you buy the watershed / end of rainbow combo pack. A pair of light up “come F me“ boots, and a glittered tye dye bro tank included.

If all the hip-hop really is on the same day then this is 100% a 1-day and 2-day show that they just smashed together as a cheap cardboard sasquatch cutout

Inside my body The pressure is too great And like some ancient geyser I erupt My head hits the roof and my body breaks apart with the force of the liquid blast Vomit bomb Chunky shrapnel tears through everything around me I am vomit vomitingHonestly though, lines 3-6 + Bassnectar are ok for me for about $100. I don't know anyone below them or Trippie Red or w/e.
I wouldn't be able to convince anyone to come with me, so I'm probably out. Might try to convince people to do Cage, Beck, Spoon though. Trippie Redd is a rapper who sings
