aMU5Eme Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 C) Chicago sounds like a nicer city what.... the... fuck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agenthal Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 what.... the... fuck... I agree with Sprock, Chicago is way nicer than KC. For one, it'll be a lot cooler, which makes a huge difference at a fest. And let's just consider the fest venues... Lolla is in a lovely large park, which has nice shaded areas, a lovely water fountain, and more. Kanrocksas will be on a racetrack... flat, hot, and with bleachers basically. I'm just saying, I've been to a lot of fests. Lolla has been around a long time for a reason and has a lot of nice features. A smaller fest like Kanrocksas will have lots of things go wrong (always happens at first few acts) and will have MUCH fewer acts spread over less stages over those 2 days, even if they are a lot of similar acts to Lolla. Just trying to help people get their facts straight before they make an uninformed decision, especially those who've never been to a fest and look at the Kansas lineup and go WOW without really knowing any better.

August 4th I turn 18 and I plan on driving to KC from Denver (like 11 hours). If all goes to plan this will be my first festival, but even if everything goes wrong... in the end I get to see Muse. That's just my way of seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmy947 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 There's gonna be another Pointfest in August, so that actually seems likely. But I really don't want them to play it, since they'll only get to do like 8 songs there, and they'll use that as an excuse not to come back to St. Louis in a long time. Anywho, kinda sucks for me because KC is a hell of a lot closer to me than Chicago, but I'd rather go to Lolla anyway so oh well. There's gonna be another one? Wow, I am a bad Pointfest fan Them playing it would be, meh, on one hand, I'd get to see Muse live, but on the other, short setlists... I am in the same situation as you KC is closer, but I already have everything planed for Lolla. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_silverrose_ Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Ok I'm not doing this anymore.. haha Lolla line up is FAR too epic to miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama of Time Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I wanna try to do this because it'll be cheaper than Lolla, I've always wanted to do a camping festival, dont have to bother paying for a hotel, Muse, and I get to see my friend in Kansas City. But flights are more expensive than I thought. blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo eighteen Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Are these organizers intentionally shooting themselves in the foot by scheduling this the same damn weekend as Lolla? I swear something like this happened 4 or 5 years ago with a new festival on the east coast and it did indeed go belly up before even happening. This festival is even closer in location to Lolla, and is nothing more than a watered-down Lolla line-up anyway. If this thing actually takes place, I will be shocked.

They have already got their lineup and money from promoters, people attending. Not so sure it will sell out but it certainly is going to happen.

It makes me want to go to this one instead of Lolla because there wouldn't be as many people. Will it be as epic as Lolla? Prolly not, but it's got Muse, so it can't be bad.

Nope it was supposed to be Vineland Music Festival in New Jersey. I think they actually cited All Points West as the reason for being axed, but being on the same weekend as another major national music fest was also not the best of plans. Kanrocksas may have something that resembles a line-up, and promoters, but there's nothing to suggest they have tremendous sales yet. And it seems like anyone even thinking about going to this would also be taking Lolla into consideration. Especially just from this thread alone. And if they go too long without sales, it probably won't end up happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agenthal Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 And if they go too long without sales, it probably won't end up happening. It is something to worry about. One other established fest already cancelled this year because of lack of sales, but hopefully this one will be ok for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steampunklibrarian Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Didn't even think about that as a possibility. Bought the early bird tix with the blinded thought of seeing Muse twice since I won't be getting to any of the other big festivals this year. Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steampunklibrarian Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Selling my 2 tickets! Ben and I have decided on a new plan of travel and Kansas isn't in the cards! I have a listing on Musebay but just thought I would drop a note here...selling them for $165 each since I bought them as early bird tix. PM me if you are interested.

Pistol Star Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I'm planning to buy a single day pass for the night that Muse play. Just waiting for them to announce the prices and when they go on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unintended_777 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Going to KRock with my boyfriend who is a huge APC fan! Having Muse and APC on the same day is the colliding of two very wonderful worlds for us We thought about Lolla for a while but it was so expensive since we planned on traveling from TX. KRock ended up being cheaper. Never been to Kansas City but really looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattXXI Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I think I'm going to get a single day pass, and with the price at it is now...it's a steal! Even if that means going alone....which would suck....but well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAR0623 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Seriously considering getting a 1 day ticket now- Lolla's Saturday lineup doesn't interest me. Anyone still going from Lolla to this and then back to Lolla? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAR0623 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Yeah, if I can't find anyone to ride with me I won't be going. No way I could leave Chicago at 10 PM and drive all night, then stand in the hot sun all day, then drive back all night and stand in the hot sun all day again. I love Muse but I'm not going to kill myself to see them- especially since I'm lucky enough to be seeing them 3 times this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbmuse09 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hi, my boyfriend and I are thinking about attending this show. We just need to find carpool to and from Lolla (since we'll also be attending Friday night for Muse at Lolla). If anyone has any spots available, we'd be interested. We can help pay for gas and we wouldn't be bad company, I promise! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
