Yeah, not a lot of jam around these fests and AllGood is not running this year either so jam fans are down to what...Summer Camp, Mountain Jam, Wanee and Gathering of the Vibes plus the smaller band fronted fests?
Oh and Peach Music Fest. I will probably hit up that.
Lcokn' is officially the hettiest of hetti fests now.
There's also Wakarusa. Jam band fans still have plenty of options.
True on all of those, especially Lockn. Just wish there was some more here! But I like the lineup so far. Hoping for an addition or two that I can really get into.

now matter what Zen predicts it wont be worse than that dude who told us he had the scoop on nearly the whole lineup and told us it would be mostly edm.
Any thoughts on the gospel choir playing w Amos Lee? Def piqued my interest in that set. Sounds kinda funky. That and girls. Girls everywhere.
Saw Amos Lee back in 2010 at Mile High Music Festival and wasn't sure what to expect. I've always really liked his music but felt it would be better suited for an indoor setting instead of a festival. He was one of my favorite sets of the whole festival and put on a surprisingly entertaining show. Lots of gospel in that show as well so with the addition of a gospel choir to sing behind him I for sure won't be missing out.

Lockn' and Phases of the moon are two new jam fests that look amazing. SCI is the other headliner for phases along with WSP, the leaks were very early on because its in its first year. Definitely hittin that up!

he mentioned before its geared more towards rock and looking at the lineup now that seems pretty likely. I would also think at least 1-2 hip hop acts and another EDM act are added
Thinking about trying Hangout this year. Anyone have any experience staying in the Fort Morgan area? Is it better or worse than Orange Beach?
We stay in a house a few miles down Fort Morgan Road, not all the way to Fort Morgan but on the way. Anyway it's a lot quieter than staying near the fest obviously, which can be good or bad, depending on what you're in to. The one thing is the shuttle that runs that way only stops at the Beach Club so unless you stay there you have to drive (or bike I guess) every day down to the fest which, again, can be good or bad depending what you're in to. We have never had a parking problem, most times people open up their lawns and charge you $15-$20 to park for the day. Split between 5 people and for an entire day that's not too bad. You can also park at the grocery store (Delchamps before, I can't remember what it is now) at the intersection of 59 and take the shuttle from there or walk.
Staying that far down usually means you can't take a break in the middle of the day and hit up your own bathroom/drink your own beer/shower and head back into the fest without driving and losing your parking space. So if you want breaks during the day then I suggest a condo within walking distance of the fest.

Was this too long? Hopefully it was helpful.
Awesome! That was really helpful, thanks! I'm curious though... If I were to stay at a condo near the Beach club, would I be able to take the shuttle from the Beach Club to the fest, or is that not an option?

I think as long as you have a shuttle pass you can get on at The Beach Club. It's just that that's the only stop on the road, so I imagine technically you could come from anywhere. There's a note that says parking is for registered Beach Club guests only so as long as you don't park there I'm sure it's fine.
I've always stayed at one of the beachside condos so I've never had to worry about shuttles and stuff like that, but those Chevy cabs they had last year were awwwweesome.
its gonna be pretty difficult to find a place in walking distance at the point. i lucked out last year and happen to find a room open about a mile up the highway in March last year. otherwise i was gonna have to shuttle it and that would have sucked. This year we grabbed a spot a mile down on the beach in the west side right when early bird tix went on sale.
Like there's some bands that are no doubt about it, I'm not missing. But bands/artists like Bloody Beetroots, Wiz, STS9, Modest Mouse that are in that 4-6pm time range or small stage headliners- I wanna know I'm gonna be able to see em before getting my hopes up.

The shuttle from the Publix in Orange Beach was fine. Had no issues with it but I feel I lost a lot of the fun of the fest being so far away. Also, as mentioned being able to go "home" to grab a beer and take a shower mid day would have been much appreciated. That's why I booked early and close. I have seen some walking distance condos still available.

I'm staying in fairhope. I would prefer to drive and find parking everyday, but I'm worried I won't be able to do so. If I can't I was going to drive to the pelican place shuttle and take shuttle to the festival. Has anyone with experience at the festival know if it would be safe to take the chance of not getting a shuttle pass and just parking at someone's house each day?

For the past three years we have driven and parked every day. We have not had a problem finding spaces but we did walk maybe .5 mile to the fest every time and we went somewhat early, sometimes probably 2pm at the latest to get the spots so I don't know what it's like much later than that.
