Peach Festival 2019

Good questions!  The schedule will be late enough that you'll pay highest price for your ticket if you wait.  Usually the acts listed in biggest letters are on the Pavillion stage (the biggest stage), the acts in the smallest letters are on the  Grove Stage (the smallest one, but a quick walk from the Pavillion stage), and the medium sized font are banished to the Mushroom Stage (right by the water park, but a hike from the other two stages).

Not only is camping not right by your car, you'll have to take a wagon ride up the mountain with all of your gear to get to tent-only camping.  Your car could be as far as a few miles away.  You can rent a locker for the weekend, but they'll totally hijack you on the price of that rental.

Peach is not for the faint of heart.  You need to be prepared for some hiking up and down hills.  And for Live Nation fees out the wazoo.

For perspective, last year I paid $350 for an on-site RV spot.  The location was awesome in terms of proximity.  But it was a relatively flat piece of a gravel parking lot with no hookups.

Oh...and the gate search can range from "I walked right in" to "they went through the Lowe's receipts in my wallet."  It's a crap shoot.
