Okeechobee 2017 (March 2-5, 2017)

when they put out the Jungle lineup. 

Idk. Some people said DVS1 and Nightmares on Wax was cool, but I don't know anyone at that stage. I will know in early February if I'm going or not, and if not I'll give the board first crack for face and shipping before putting it out there.

For sure. Everyone I ever met off the site or knew already is cool as fuck. It's pretty easy to make friends and party with mfs who are into live music because it's a shared interest that is often lively and participatory. It's not usually super easy to pull off except early time shows.

I have a hard time believing that too. Although, it's still a second year fest and I can't expect that to pull out all the punches just yet.

I know for a fact that is not true. They were definitely trying to book Red Hot Chili Peppers as a headliner at one point in time.

DVS1 and Nightmares on Wax are the big ones.. Minilogue Live should be a treat! Ryan Elliott is also great, and is a resident at Berghain. Everyone falls under techno/tech house/deep house genre in the Jungle. It gets weird.

He was listed on the initial lineup as a DJ set, so I'm thinking if anything he'd do a DJ set in jungle 51 and a DJ set on one of the main stages.

Oh! Maybe he was just supposed to be on the jungle lineup the whole time? So who do you guys think will be playing the beach stage?

Hopefully they take the big wild spot from last year! They would be soooooo dope. Then Get Roosevelt Collier in there, and that's a good Saturday.

Three Day Passes will be sold out by the end of the day. If anyone still wanted to get one from the festival, you'll have to act soon.

They haven't announced anything on them yet, so presumably they'll be available for a while. They posted out that only 500 3 days remained sometime on Friday. Now they're saying the 3's will be sold by the end of the day if they make it that far. 4's are on Tier 2 which are $269+fees. Presumably these would sell out too if there is a smaller allotment than the number of 3 day passes and if people move toward that structure because they can't get a 3 anymore. It's only a $20.00 difference, so I don't think people would mind absorbing those. I just don't know if they plan to also offer a by-day pass.

Their clock says 31 days, 32 minutes and 05 seconds!

Right on. That's good to see that ticket sales are going well for this. But I hope next year they do a bit better with that top line. We shall see. It's still going to be a fun weekend, and it's only 2 hours from me.

i didn't go last year, how's the layout for the stages? lots of space for shows? do you have to go early like you do at roo?

The three main stages are almost side by side but angled differently and have barriers and trees and vendors in between so there really isnt any terrible sound bleed. The 'Here' stage is the middle one and I did notice a tiny bit of sound bleed when something really, really loud was on the 'Now' stage to its left but nothing that moving a few feet away couldn't solve. There are some areas of congestion near the back row of vendors at night but other than that I didn't notice any real problems. Nothing like trying to cross the ditch at Roo in the evening.

As far as going early, do you mean arrive on site early or head to a stage for a set early?

Also, last year 32-35k were estimated bu this year attendance has been capped at 30k per the city of Okeechobee so expect less congestion.
