I only attended one day, the festival itself stretched out over a period of three days, July 31st - August 2nd. I chose August 1st as that was the day TOOL was headlining. Before I get to just how amazing they were, I want to stress how completely phenomenal the entire day was. First, we got there and walked through the entire field, there were a total of three main stages for all of the bands to play and play they did. Non-stop action is really the only way to describe what took place on those stages.
We had VIP tickets and were able to bypass the annoying "Beer Gardens" in which you purchase your beer in a tent that you cannot leave until you have finished said beer. There was also an air conditioned tent with big screen TVs, video games, catered food, and plenty of comfortable seating for us. I felt spoiled and before I move on I have to thank my boyfriend who made the entire weekend (trip into NYC, site seeing Kevin Smith spots in NJ, and Festival) possible.
As if that weren't enough, VIP also came with seating in bleachers so you did not have to pack yourself into the crowd like sardines, which, for me, is very beneficial as I am short and would have not been able to see the stage for trying...this is what the crowd looked like once TOOL made their way to stage:
TOOL was amazing, to say the very least. They rocked the entire crowd and gave everyone their money's worth. Just to see TOOL is a treat in itself but at a festival like this? Hands down, best concert I have attended.
Will I do it next year? One can only hope!
