    I don't have a drivers licence :/ 


    I like my buses, trams and subways
    If you haven’t picked a place to stay, your best option is looking at local bus and “trolly” routes, and finding something along one of the lines, and then you’ll have to Uber back. The other option is finding a place near the shuttle site.

    Getting myself familiar with the other acts in the months ahead is always fun. I haven’t listened to Last Splash front to back in 30’years and Peter Cat Recording Co. is very entertaining.

    I’ve seen 20k referenced. Partly what makes it even better is that it’s not so massive

    As of 2021 (and I’m sure someone can confirm 2022/23) there were bleachers at the back with a pretty much straight ahead look at the stage.  A bit far but no worse than say the far end of the 100 level at an arena.

    Thanks for that info.

    Now, I'm feeling pressured to go-LOL

    Yes, and if you want to get closer, it’s pretty easy to do around 7:00 or so. Things will tighten up at the main stage just before PJ/Neil/PJ start up.

    Kinda sloped upward toward back of main lawn area and there is a hill near the cluster of palm trees. Honestly I often stand near secondary stage and have a great time... can see enough, I'm there to hear the music abd the screens are on at the second stage too. I've stood all different places over the 8 years, bleachers too, and it's about being there for me. I like to move away from the drunks

    Bleachers always there since first Ohana

    Yes…for 2022. If you’re going to sit in the back of a venue, it’s pretty hard to beat “back to the Pacific Ocean” though. Sunset, surfers, wind sailing, stunning view.

    I believe a whale mixed in with the surfers a few days before Ohana last year.

    The second stage is sometimes the place to be as well. Eddie has jumped up there a handful of times.

    This 100%, always great to be on the second stage especially early in the day.  With Joe Wong + Nite Creatures, wouldn't be surprised if Matt jumps on the drums like he did in 2021. 

    Looking at the lineup and if they follow previous flow of the billing and who plays on which stage, Glen should also be on the second stage that day. 

    Such a great festival, look forward to it every year.

    Booked hotel a few months ago. Walking distance. 3 day GA secured. 

    My guess is set lists around 2 hours. Festival usually closes with a group jam so I think Neil plays with them Sunday and comes out for a Rocking in the Free World closer. 
    Uh... no.... he's at Hollywood Bowl Sunday...
    He's also been doing ~1hr 40min shows. Saw him Saturday here in PHX. It was every bit as good as I'd hoped.

    Brought me right back to the Weld double cassette I bought with paperboy money way back in high school. Every bit as loud as I used to play it, too.

    Reverend Billy was... Thought provoking, which was the intent I suppose.

    When Fan to fan opens I am going to sell my Neil young Toronto July 8.  Decent seat.  If anyone is interested let me know.

    Thanks for that, but I have to hang in the back or off to the extreme sides.

    It sucks getting old=HA
