Shows I saw at BottleRock, by day
Friday: Polo G (meh), G-Eazy (great performance)
Saturday: Warren G (great), Reignwolf (definitely want to see them again), North Mississippi Allstars (great), Dominic Fike (caught his last two songs while waiting for the next act, interesting and entertaining), Run The Jewels (will try to see them when they tour with Rage Against the Machine next year), Guns N’ Roses (first time seeing them live, Slash is amazing, Duff singing I Wanna Be Your Your Dog was cool, Axl looks like Michael Myers doing an imitation of Axl).
Sunday: Jimmy Eat World, Black Pumas (would see again), Cage the Elephant (great), Foo Fighters (fucking awesome).
Overall, it was a well-run festival with a wide-range of performers (we didn’t see Miley Cyrus or Meg Thee Stallion). Food was decent and lines for booze were short. Getting in and out wasn’t bad. No wait on Friday at 5 (probably because Chris Stapleton cancelled earlier in the day and people stayed away). Saturday afternoon was the worst with a 30 minute wait to get in at 2:15. There was no wait the next day at the same time.
We will definitely go back. May try VIP next time as it is easier to move between the two main stages if there is a schedule conflict.
