Anyone else going? Thought on value of VIP? I'm a die hard Mats and quicksand fan, and I'm trying to decide if VIP is worth it for Sunday tix. Anyone have aby experience with VIP or observations on whether VIP viewing is any better than ga? Thanks!!

    Lineup looks pretty solid for this year. I'll probably wait to see the schedule and pick a single day to go.

    They're a great band live. They opened some shows for the gaslight anthem last year. Drummer filled in for Benny in philly.

    Yeah I saw them open for TGA in Chicago last year. Pretty awesome to see 2 of my top 5 fav bands in one night.

    That was fun on Friday. Against Me was awesome. Also checked out Flogging Molly, Alkaline Trio and part of No Doubt. The sound wasn't the greatest and the beer selection sucked (only Dos Equis and Heineken??? The All Rise craft brewery beers were really good, but the lines were insane as the day went on). Glad I was there Friday....looked like the mud situation got worse as the weekend went on.

    I read that it got pretty scary during SOAD's set.
    I SAW PEARL JAM

    Just getting over being sick from 2 long days in the mud.
    Rancid pit was crushing, yet fun.
