Any plans to add more places to shelter during storms? The tents were all so crowded, I saw someone getting claustrophobic and struggle to get back into the rain.

A big problem Saturday was that no rain was predicted. Would you ever give ponchos out as we enter (bake it into the ticket price), just in case?

All anyone over the age of 18 was talking about (besides the incredible lineup and sets) was how many REALLY young kids were there. Them doing things they shouldn't be (drinking, etc) aside, they aren't there for the music and are just trying to get a good insta picture. They're really obnoxious and take away from everyone else's experience. Any plans to address this?

It's not even the illegal things...It's the kids who are there as a social event only. I saw sooo much drama going down between groups of high school kids. They're the ones that push and shove the way to the front and then talk or take pictures and don't pay attention to the show.

Festivals are supposed to be good vibes all around and everyone doing their own thing with no negativity. It generally just feels like the easy accessibility for them brings down the vibe and it's more of a status thing for them to be there than to enjoy the show.

EDIT: In terms of shelter...is there another area of the island (baseball fields or something) that people could go to get under tents and reenter? I would have stood under the bridge and come back in, except no reentry. Don't think more shelter would have to be in the way (although I would guess if you put some by the big circular merch tent/beer lines etc, nobody would complain.

Hey guys, Just wanted to say thank you for an amazing two days. I know a lot of people are mad, but I totally understand why you had to make the decision you did. Evacuating the island if there WAS lightning would have been an absolute disaster.

Are there any plans to look into alternate venues or add more places to shelter during storms?

Also, can you try to book Fly Golden Eagle and Thunderbitch (Brittney Howard's side project) for next year?

Unrelated, thanks for the festival hashtag. I went with my work partner a few years ago, and whenever we're stuck in the shit at work, we turn to each other and say, "you're doing great."

You guys are doing great!!!

Have you guys ever considered partnering with artists to release recordings of their sets to people who go after the festival?

I know people record the live streams sometimes, but sets like Black Pistol Fire were so electric, I'd love to have it to keep. Obviously, it could be an artist by artist decision.

Can you just walk us through what the process was like from when the rain started Saturday to when you actually cancelled the show?

More curious for an inside look than questioning the decision.
