No hotels nearby for the majority of attendees--the ones who don't camp
Several colleges nearby but I think especially in the fall--and this fall--you won't get them off campus.
The remote location makes it great for the festival that it is--and limits all other major uses.
I agree, camping is key. They Book WSP for 3 nights, they’ll sell out every night. I think SCI sells out 6K tix easy too, especially if they do Sunday Bluegrass. Umphrey’s, Twiddle, Billy Strings, Phil & Friends, Avett’s, & My Morning Jacket all probably sell out too. JRAD, TTB, TAB, Bisco & Goose would all probably come close. I live 8 hours away, I’d come for Cheese, WSP, Billy Strings, Phil, JRAD or anything that I can’t see at home.

But then I pondered it for a bit.
If what they have done is internally shifted from an effort to put on a festival to putting on these other shows and not doing the festival at all, while at the same time still selling tickets to the festival. That would be fraud.
They are still selling festival tickets.
Taking that money with the easily provable intent to never hold the event (based on internal emails, contracts, etc) puts you into Fyre festival territory.
Regardless of the intent to eventually refund the money.

I think the “Event” hinges solely on if Phil Lesh will participate. I’m sure what they’re waiting on is his commitment or for him to decline. I think the smaller events are a back up plan, being planned as a contingency to Phil’s absence, local COVID/capacity restrictions, etc... should they still be selling tix, IDK probably not but I don’t think it’s quite like Fyre or fraud. Sketchy... yes, but not quite criminal.

I'd be beyond excited if they could get a weekend of Cheese at the Farm. HULA has become EDMish for me to invest the time, the money, and the wear & tear on my mind/body. So, I'll be hitting Ashvegas for Billy Strings instead of trekking down to the Swamp this year. But I still am in dire need of a Queso fix.

Because Phil & The Q are fucking awesome and Phil is one of the four surviving members of some little known band named Grateful Dead. That's enough for me. Without Phil and The Dead none of us would be here together in this community.

I’m curious, any idea on how well it sold as a Phil fest?
Also, I’m not sure I understand why they wouldn’t just have Lockn with who they can get, unless it would really be that lackluster.

Another about Phil is he brings alotta possibilities to a line up & IMO plays the best style of Dead Music out there. With Phil you could see Furthur, The Phish Friends, The Q, Jackie Greene & John K, Russo & Benevento, Joan Osborne, The Family Band, Phil & Bobby Duo or Phil with an entire Band like CRB, Twiddle & MOE. Phil’s song book is so deep depending on the friends.
A fixation comes from him being the sole headliner on the 2020 lineup & if he plays then the festival will be one thing & if he doesn’t it’ll be another. At this point with other Headliner level bands booking those dates or that market the chances of filling Phil’s spot gets slimmer if he passes.
