Ohana 2022?

I booked a few rooms for both weekends....will eventually throw them back. And ALWAYS park on local streets near and walk...it's never that hard to find a spot if you go early

I don't know if these would fit the vibe of Ohana; but would be epic - NIN and Rage Against the Machine are open...

RAGE!!!!!

So excited to go to Ohana for the first time! Looking for hotel recommendations other Laguna Cliffs at $700+ a night. Any ideas?

Gotta figure Neil Young will play some year given how often Ed/PJ played the Bridge School.

If you can get a room at Dana Point Marina Inn, it's super convenient for walking to the show. Not cheap by my standards but worth the convenience.

I booked refundable airbnb for both weekends yesterday at not insane prices.

If you have a car you can stay just up the road in Laguna for a whole lot less than Dana Point.

This, and there is street parking available if you get there fairly early and are willing to walk 10 minutes or so. I found an AirBnB for Encore last year that was a 20 minute walk away, but as I was driving around a little bit Saturday during the day, I spied a lot of places that someone could drive to Dana Point, park and then walk to the show.

I have used the shuttle in past years.  It’s a pretty decent service with plenty of parking at the shuttle origin.  Last year they moved that origin at the last minute (relatively speaking) which wrecked some people’s plans to stay near the past shuttle location but it was my lucky day as I happened to have previously booked a place near the new location.

Yup. We stayed in Laguna Hills last year and just got there early and parked. It was maybe a 10 minute walk to the venue. Easy.

Go to the rib joint and wait out the ubers.  Strong drinks, mediocre food, cover band, and awesome atmosphere.

I have done the same thing for parking the last 2 festivals. We get an ABnB about 20 minutes away up by Laguna and head down around 11 and stroll right in. Always parking available and an easy 15 minutes walk past all the people waiting for shuttles, Ubers and rides.

definitely. I also had good luck on the Sunday first weekend parking at the beach lot.  Encore weekend I did the shuttle which worked well too.

Hopefully we get Jack Johnson and Ben Harper with them being in the state and having a day off during that weekend. He's due for another appearance after last playing 2017. Would be really great if the chili peppers played again with frusciante back. Their tour dates end September 25th and are playing some festivals along with stadiums this summer. They all live close and seem to be pretty friendly with each other and the RHCP used to play some smaller shows around CA. Saw them at the fonda theatre for a KROQ halloween concert in 2016 that fits like 1,200 and a Bernie Sanders fundraiser at the ace hotel theatre in downtown LA.

Would also likely get a chance to see klinghoffer play some songs with the chilis. I know some people don't like that PJ added Josh to the touring lineup but he really is great in that position. Before joining RHCP after John left he played the same role with RHCP on the last 6 months of their stadium arcadium tour while Josh was touring as part of Gnarls Barkley who opened. He stayed in the background and played guitar and keys/background vocals allowing them to play songs with multiple guitar tracks that they hadn't previously been able to. There is a good pro-shot video of one of the concerts with Josh playing with RHCP from 2007 on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhrCbZBAC7M

Worth checking out if you are a fan of Josh and the RHCP

I really really hope RHCP are on the bill this year. They are just a different band with John. Ben Harper would also be a fantastic addition. Was hoping Wolf Alice (the best band on the planet right now) would be playing  but don’t think it fits in with their schedule.

A Neil Jam Mirror Ball set would be amazing.

Ok THAT would actually be mind-blowing.

Not a fan of Neil’s music but I would love someone like David Gilmour one day.

RHCP taking the Foo slot at NOLA Jazz Fest. So they are playing some festivals.
