Austin Psych Fest 2014

[Gribbz]

Just announced: May 2nd-May 4th at Carson Creek Ranch. Pre-sale begins today. Can't wait!

[amyzzz]

Goddamnit.

[Gribbz]

lul. Making the trip next year, Amy?

[amyzzz]

I am seriously thinking about it. I haven't paid for my OSL and NOLA/Voodoo trips yet though. I may have wait and buy the pricier tickets.

[Ardentbiscuit]

I am considering this too, the line up this year was so good.

I don't recall, are the tickets sold in different price levels?

[Gribbz]

I believe there's just the pre-sale and regular passes/individual day tickets later on. Apparently they're offering "lifetime" passes this year, too.

[amyzzz]

So the price does or does not go up? Those are cheap tickets.

[Gribbz]

Pre-sale is slightly cheaper. Still, not an expensive fest at all.

[amyzzz]

You're seeing BRMC tonight? Awesome. I've been too broke to see any psych bands lately. Thanks for the info about presale price.

[Gribbz]

Yup. I feel like most of this year's line-up has come through Tucson this Spring/Summer. It's been good.

[Gribbz]

Headliner predictions? I'm thinking MBV since they should be in the country (assuming FYF isn't a one off). They tried booking them for 2013 but there was a scheduling issue apparently.

[amyzzz]

I would crap my pants. It's good to hear they tried to get them in 2013.

[stinkbutt]

Man I don't like those new dates. If Sleep or MBV is there I will try to make it

[Gribbz]

I could see that happening for sure. How about JaMC, I could see them headlining the first day and then MBV Saturday.

I would bet good money that Tame Impala will be there, if Kevin is on this side of the world.

That would be great. I was expecting Tame Impala to be one of the additions this past year.

We can wear matching war vests.

They introduced "forever" passes today. $1000 gets you admission forever plus 1 merch item (poster or shirt) plus parking and camping. $2500 for VIP forever pass which includes some drinks, access, stuff.

[amyzzz]

That's a lot of cash.

Forever really means as long as the festival runs. This seems like a ploy to get more cash to me, which doesn't sound like a good thing for the festival.

[faxman75]

I agreee. If Coachella offered this I would be all over it for $1000. That's still likely a good thing for Coachella to offer considering it would take at least 3 festivals to get your monies worth and how many attendees have gone to more than three outside of die hards on this board?

Even better Coachella should offer a Forever exclusive to boardies!

[amyzzz]

Why would Coachella do that? They can make more money the way they do it now. Who cares about loyalty.

[faxman75]

I didn't say they would. They should so I can buy one.

[amyzzz]

Me too!

[Ardentbiscuit]

If Coachella offered a forever pass it would be something insane like 35K.

This is amazing. Is that really an Alliyah patch? Too good.

[amyzzz]

Oh that's what it says.

[Ardentbiscuit]

It's interesting they are hosting an event in France! They posted a video from Portishead at Glastonbury, wish they were playing the 2014 festival!

[Gribbz]

God damn that would be amazing. Anyway, glad to see they're expanding. I bet it will be successful too considering all of the Europeans that were at the fest this year.

[Y0UNGBL00D]

def trying to go next year

and it is so cool how alex and the boys have done all of this, even going global with it. nuts. its crazy to me that i still run into him around town in the most random places.

[Ardentbiscuit]

I am definitely going next year! I don't really care who's playing, just want to be there and in Austin.
