Depends on the stage...anybody who was at the first Lockn ,.phil and the terrapin family band played the triangle stage...the real question is who is in da Phil and friends set...
After attending every year I opted to do Peach instead last year. Lockn seems to raise the price at a ridiculous rate each year. The Peach hotel package was sweet considering the heat and rain. Likely to to do Peach again rather than Lockn. I couched Lockn last year and I think it was free. And Delfest is always on my calendar.
The one year I attended, I think it was 75 bucks for the 'car-camping' pass. Our group purchased two of them to occupy more real estate and have 2 'EZ-Ups'. That was the year Taj Mahal played and Phil's set was cut short by a windstorm; the festival staff evacuated the main stage area. Allman Bros and Tom Petty were among the 'big name' acts.
Prices seem to increase every year, so it's probably more $$ now for camping.
If you attend, be prepared to wait a long time between arrival and actual admission to your spot.
^^^^I'm guessing lots of walking too, which isn't necessarily a big deal. I'm a backpacker, but I'm trying to get some reasonable perspective because a freind of mine wants me to go.
I'd also guess you can't take coolers into the event grounds.
Hammer - Lots of walking but bring a bike and you're good, they also have golf cart taxis that you can take around for a fee. You just can't bring alcohol into the event grounds but water and food were no problem. No coolers inside the event grounds.
I have been to L2 and L3. We bought tickets this year but we might not be able to go, time will tell. Great festival but would even consider going without a bike as we have enjoyed being able to get around to the different stages and camp as needed.
its too much cash for a lot of work. Fees, camping pass, no coolers on the field, tent a mile away, over priced bs on the field.
the performances are ok, I saw a thing or two I liked, just way too much walking in the heat and not seeing anything while doing so. I do t know, I could go to an island for a week, and think this year I may just do that
I went for the first time this past summer. I thought it was fantastic. Very well organized. Free ice water refills all weekend. Great food (Peace, Love & Tacos...yum). Caught some bands I've never seen before, plus some I've wanted to see for a while. Phil was meh, but JRAD was incredible. As was Lettuce. Late night shows made the weekend for me. I'm planning to go again this year. Avett Brothers are lots of fun. Hopefully Phil puts together a good cast of characters this summer.
