It is effing HOT! You'll get woken up from the heat somewhere between 7-8am and it'll most likely be hot as shit all day until the sun starts going down. Just stay hydrated and you should be fine
after giving it some thought, as much as I'd love to have you there with us having fun, I just don't think its a good idea. First of all, even though you have lived in Georgia before I'm sure that you always had ready access to some form of AC within moments....at Roo you will have some access to air conditioning, but may have to walk to it. Not to mention the additional stress that going without enough sleep can exact on your system.
by all means, please discuss it thoroughly with your healthcare provider, but my gut instinct says its not a good idea. It's just not worth taking a huge risk...I have treated people with heat stroke before during my ER nurse days and it is NOT pretty. Wouldn't wish that on anyone...
Yes I am a pale Irish folk and the sun hates me. Personally I wake up around 7 because its so damn hot. The key to survival is sunscreen, water, and shade whenever you can get to it.

Another thing to consider, being out in the heat is fine, but when you watch an act, are you planning on sitting the whole time or standing? Are you gonna stay at one tent/stage all day or do you plan on going all over? Are you a passive fan or an active fan who participates in the activities going on?
It is very different when you start singing along, dancing a little and such. Some acts are scattered out and a TON of walking takes place.

Here's a tip, don't go up front in any of the tents if you're short. I watched countless numbers of people pass out left and right. Also, get one of those misting bottles and use it a lot. A bit of cool water spray is a life saver.
