Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
Information like this is general and times are approximate (as they say in Indonesia "rubber time"). Once it gets on the ground it will resolve itself. Consider this: the only practical access to High Field is through the venue. They have to have some accommodation for someone from Green Field or Oak Ridge or ADA, as well as VIP, to go visit up there before noon. we'll see when we get there.

They ought to allow bike and wagon access during non-show times, and once the show begins, eject any leftover bikes and wagons. And in addition to the mornings, if the show field was really closed during the off hours the highfield people couldn't get home at night, either.

They meant STAGE right.Yeah, I mean, Lockn's gonna Lockn'.
Even the first sentence needs clarification, if I'm staring at the main stage straight on, it's not gonna be behind me on the right, that's the forest.
I mean, Relix stage is stage right of the main stage, so they can't mean YOUR right.
That's why we should use port and starboard

I knew I should have included an emoticon to denote my tongue in cheek remark. I agree, these are first world problems. That is not lost on me. BUT...we spend a lot of money, once a year, to have an amazing out of this world experience for four days and I just want it to be as good as it ca get as long as it doesn't detract from everyone else's experience.first world problems...

So are you saying the VIP lounge is where it was last year? I am having trouble understanding the email:The VIP lounge is at the top of the hill on the Relix stage side (BRB). The VIP viewing area at main stage does appear to be larger which is good news. Doesn't look like you can enter the viewing area from the lounge. I wish the VIP lounge would be on the main show field and connected to the viewing area as you could two years ago.So it looks like the VIP viewing area is on the left and possibly a little bigger. According to the email yesterday the VIP lounge is between the main and relix stage. Could it possibly be like 2 years ago where you could enter the VIP viewing area from the lounge? Hard to tell from diagram.
VIP LOUNGE DETAILS
Location: Inside the venue. If you are looking at the Main Stage it will be behind you on the right, in between the Main Stage and the Relix Stage.
If I am looking at the stage ( I assume from the front) - behind me on the right would be near the woods and opposite the viewing area. But then it says between the stages. This does not make sense to me. Am I completely missing something?
