    Hey All, thanks for the great tips so far in planning for Ohana. It's greatly appreciated.  I had a couple more questions come to mind.

    It looks like my hotel is just under 3 miles to the shuttle station. I wasn't planning on renting a car so I can either walk an hour or take an Uber to the shuttle pickup.  If I choose the latter, should I just Uber directly to the venue instead of taking a shuttle?

    Also, I noticed the availability of lockers to rent.  Since I'm doing site-seeing on Saturday, I'm wondering if I need to drop my stuff at the hotel before continuing onto the festival or if I should just get one of these lockers.  I might have stuff on the festival's 'do not bring' list.  Are the lockers located on the inside of the grounds?

    Thanks again!

    At this point I'd just Uber in.  Tickets for buss passes are going to run out sooner or later.  

    The lockers are just inside the entrance.

    Lockers are INSIDE the festival and if you want one should book ahead.  I get one for one of the days so the merch I buy can go in there. I bring very little in with me except refillable water bottle and a small foldable towel to sit on.

    Bummer he couldn't have just readjusted the lineup instead of completely canceling so far out.

    How badly do you want to see the shows, and to visit Southern California, which you've expressed excitement about before? The money you've already spent is a sunk cost. Don't throw good money after bad if you no longer want to go to the shows.

    Shouldn't you at least get the money you spent on your flight back as a credit to be used on future flights? Unlike the cost of the Ohana tickets, your airfare is not totally sunk. (And you could try to sell your wristbands for the shows, too, although that might be logistically difficult since we don't have them yet and you'd be shipping them internationally.)
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    He cancelled Ohana quite some time ago. I'm sure this show wasn't in the works at that point. 

    Ohana had to fill the spot.

    Exactly. I can't imagine PJ wouldnt have been able to play in with him, especially since it was their night off.

    Don't think I can get money back or credits for the flights... don't you have to buy extra insurance to get that. 

    Might see if I can get ahold of them tomorrow and see. It's British Airways so could use credit if possible next summer for Oasis.

    Wristbands seems risky as hell by the way. They told me they could send them out as late as 2 weeks before the festival...

    I had tickets to Ohana and Hollywood Bowl. If he had played that coast now, it might have been able to still catch him. Instead of playing the opposite coast at close to the exact dates he had concerts booked in California.

    But doesn't matter. ofc. ich bin fucked

    It looks so barren when I tried to google. Is anything else cool playing in Los Angeles end of September, Early October? No Paul McCartney or Taylor Swift or Nine Inch Nails or anything?

    My Morning Jacket plays the south. Kings of Leon the east I think

    I would guess it was a business decision rather than a musician decision. If that makes any sense. If a member is unable to play, I would guess they cannot go out as "crazy horse." Now about those $300 tickets for the Cap.

    My impression is that Neil had some sort of arrangement with his band about Covid, and maybe his feelings on public health as well - which is why they were playing all outdoor venues as Neil did last summer.  One or multiple members got Covid partway through the tour and Neil took that into consideration and called it quits - for the health of his bandmates over anything, and it may have been tenuous enough getting them all together as some weren't all in to begin with.

    Agree. And that is why I do not hold it against him for cancelling. This is not a young group. I do not think him scheduling some shows without the whole band are a big deal. But those prices, that is why I do not go see Neil. Same with David Gilmour. I would love to see you play, but not at $300.

    Could at least have played a show in California those dates. And yeah, I know he has already done a stint of smaller shows on the west coast and it might also be contractually impossible after cancelling Hollywood bowl. But still.

    He might not be allowed to do that. Festivals have many caveats. You are not wrong. I say go to Ohana. I wish I was going.
