Late night = playing later than 3/till the sun rises. Few years back they shortened the sets while increasing time between sets, day and night. All well in good because who has the attention span to stand in one place any longer hsn 15 mins these days. Last few years the latest shows were over by 2:30-3:00. You use to have 2-3 options of acts still playing at 3:30-4am.
Not debating jam bands because I just don't care enough
Yeah, the lack of late night shows is a major detergent for me with Roo because you used to be able pay less money and you got much more rare shows and more of them playing til. 4 a.m. each night. The members of this board that miss those days are far outnumbered by that Molly munching college kids that just wanna see Bassnectar and then some even shittier DJ on the Kalliope til the sun comes up

How do you maintain this level or arrogance when a few minutes ago you admitted to skipping D'Angelo for Bassnectar?

I left after 15 minutes and only went to bassnectar in the first place because friends talked me into it. I still give them shit for it because they insist the Bassnectar show was "sooooooo good." Also, what I said in the quote is the opposite of arrogant because arrogance stresses one's belief of self importance and that post actually diminished my importance because I acknowledge the fact that I would be in the minority. Perhaps search for a better word. For instance, what I said made me sound like a snob. So, something along those lines would've fit much better and I can live with that. As a side note, I will continue to mock the stereotype of college bros who love bassnectar and the likes and just wanna eat a bunch of molly and get fucked up.

If you left after 15 minutes, why the heck did you not go to D'Angelo? I listened to probably 20 minutes of Bassnectar's set while waiting for D'Angelo to get on.

Oh, in that case you left Bassnectar before D'Angelo had even started, you're an even bigger doofus than I thought

Yeah it's really disappointing how they cheapened the experience
My first year was 2013 and you had shows til 4am (with some going over) and nearly everyone on the top few lines got 90 minute sets or longer. And in 2016 they couldn't even be arsed to give their few jammy acts more than 75 minutes. You get a lot less for a lot more money, only a few years later
What's especially disappointing about 2016 is they shut down the festival for almost 2 hours, then rescheduled everything to still end at 3! What the fuck was that about?
In all seriousness, why did Roo stop doing real late night sets? And do you think they'll ever bring them back? I have nothing against the Kalliope, but i'd rather watch a real band play till sunrise then some 7/11 discount DJ.
you can blame everyone who went to Bassnectar (or whatever shitty dub step bullshit was playing at the time)instead of nick cave in 2014. That seems to be when the dam broke imo
Nick Cave on That Tent conflicted with the Flaming Lips on Which Stage (both played from 12:30-2:00). Darkside followed on That Tent and Kaskade was after Lips on Which.
Nick Cave conflicted with the Skrillex Superjam, and Nick Cave himself alluded to the people at Skrillex sucking balls and told his crowd they were the cream of the crop. Good times.

there was some fucking wompwompwomp shit going on at another stage somewhere. It caused Nick to stop mid song, comment on how terrible the sound was, then ripped into a more up tempo song.
Sucked, cuz I believe it was Higs bolsom blues that got axed
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
damn. i really wanna know why DP are doing this if they have no intention of actually touring.
Um, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess it's because the Weeknd is paying them a bunch of money. Also, they could be working on their own stuff and they just don't desire to tour (which you can't really hold against them since they've already made plenty of money)

i'm just still holding onto the slightest sliver of hope that they're active this year in some form other than featuring twice on The Weeknds new album.

It was about money. It will always be about money. It costs money to keep the stages going and they have shown that they no longer have any interest in doing shows into the morning. 2013 was the last year of that, which is just another reason why that was my favorite year.

2014 had Darkside playing till close to 4 am with Kaskade going a little past that. Oh Darkside, where have ye gone?
