I went the night Radiohead played and the portajohn lines were horrendous everywhere in fact we couldnt even get back into the beer tent after we left all the tent areas were mobbed. I only got 3 of my 5 eligible beers so pissed! Then some drunk chicks were stumbling around and I was like how the h*ll did they get drunk? I mean people are searched pretty good coming into that place. Got to eat some confiscated home made chocolate chip cookies in line (yum)

I was impressed with the amount of port a johns. It sounds like you may have missed the main area they were located. The ones in the beer gardens had the long lines and were gross. When you went to the ones in the main area there was never a wait. It seems like they realize that everyone hated the idea of only drinking inside the beer gardens. “The producers have also worked with their partners at Liberty State Park to improve the fan experience in the beer gardens. This year’s areas will be larger, have shorter lines, and feature shade tents, views of the stages and food concessions.”

I’m betting you’ll be able to hear My Bloody Valentine CLEARLY from the waterfront.

Wonder if there will be the 5 person beer limit again this year with people locked down in a beer area. At JazzzFest you can have as much beer as you want and walk around while drinking. Not sure after seeing how well run Jazzfest is I can attend this festival again. The lack of port-a-johns another HUGE issue. I used the ones that the vendors used and also noticed there was no Purel in them

i read somewhere that they are working hard to improve things that were probs last year (port-a-johns, beer limit, etc) Excited to see Elbow, My Bloody Valentine, Black Keys, Heartless Bastards will steal the show on Friday, though.

Yeh, you could hear the main stage pretty well from the Waterfront Walk Way… If you bring a step ladder you could have probably even seen the stage over the fence.

I effing love The Ting Tings!!!! August 1 it is. Best thing to do is pregame in the park first, then walk your way in and cruise some music. I may even ride my bike over. Could make for a great ride on the way back .

Last year we just hung out in the park and listened to what we could hear/see. I may spend the 100 bucks for a 1 day ticket this year.

You can even BBQ in the park first — if your into that thing.

Might make for a good H411 outing. A little BBQ????????

What we did, walking to the opposite side of the platform, was cutting the line.

Not my fault the hipsters from the city didn’t know how to think they’re more important than everyone else and therefore shouldn’t have to wait in line.

Fixed.
