Looks like it will be sunny and cool this upcoming weekend in Raleigh....better than the past two weekends of rain.
As far as ticket sells are concerned, that's on Live Nation and Blackbird...not the lineup. Most of my friends who are really into most of the bands on the lineup didn't even know this festival was going on until I brought it up. Didn't get much buzz from the music news outlets when the lineup dropped, and Live Nation/Blackbird has been pretty poor at creating a social buzz after the lineup being out.

I completely agree. I live 2 hours south and there has been no media and definitely no buzz. More room for us I guess.
50/50 shot of Willie playing. He's cancelled the three shows before because of illness.
Yeah. I wonder how they will adjust the schedule if he cancels on Sunday.
I planned on staying for the first two or three songs of his set and then getting out of town. He's playing in Roanoke on Monday night, and I will be in Roanoke on Monday...but my guess is that I will be exhausted by then and also I'm not really trying to spend money to see a sick Willie.

Had a fun time this weekend. Few thoughts.
- Not going to rank the sets, but Modest Mouse was easily my favorite. I was somewhat skeptical of how they would translate live...but I was impressed. Would love to catch the Charlottesville show next week, but I have class that night. - For Saturday at least, it was a light crowd throughout the day until Modest Mouse came on....then packed out for Eric Church (which I do think he puts on a good show). Not sure what the attendance number was, but it seemed maxed out when Eric Church was playing Saturday night. - It was cold on Sunday. Me and the girl left after Sheryl Crow and it was in the low 40s. When Eric Church closed out last night it had to be in the 30s. Thankful for no rain and a sunny weekend, but I wonder if they have it again next year if they will move it up a week or two. - Tried to catch a Uber after the Eric Church set on Saturday... it was miserable. They had a designated Uber location, but it wasn't helping any. Waited 20-30 minutes for the dude, finally gave up and just caught a taxi. Tried charging us for "a ride" as well, sent an email to support that night and they had cleared it up and refunded us by Sunday morning...props to the support team. - If they're going to continue this, I would like to see them get some late shows going throughout the city during the weekend.
Depending on the lineup, I would go again next year.
