They just created the same vibe one gets from being lucky enough (?) to buy a ticket to Dead & Co. And that vibe is not a positive one. Nor is the vibe from all the disappointed fans.
Floydfest's promoters have now walked away from the old "home grown" feel and long time alumni will not be happy--so let's see if the line up continues to move away from bluegrass, new grass and Americana.
All in all, good for them that they are so successful. Too bad for us that they are so successful.
To be clear, I have no fault with those who got in and they will have a great time, at a great looking venue and in manageable crowd, all on one site.

I was talking to some Floyd deputies last summer and they said some consideration was given to having an entrance off 641, a small side road just south of the site, but VDOT said no. Traffic may be worsened by the security checks, which did not exist at Delta, it being Mikes field and all.

The balance, however, was the light-weight searches that for us delta day trippers--a smuggler's dream, made me miss Newbn!
The lockn' set-up was the best in this regard nws the delay in getting in to the showfield or having to walk around to get to high field.

New FloydFest site lacks state permits, could endanger protected species, group says
“I’m just scared that by July, there won’t be anything left on that property,” said Dan Vest, who lives nearby. “It’s going to be bog turtle genocide over there.”

The organizers of FloydFest have built roads and bridges for the music festival’s new site without the required permits, which an environmental group says could endanger a federally protected turtle and butterfly.
In a warning letter to Hill Holler LLC dated March 6, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality wrote that its inspections showed work was proceeding without a state-approved storm water management plan.

I also think the "the satyr butterfly" is an oxymoron of nature. I would not want that handle.

Very few ‘independent’ music festivals exist these days. Our patrons, our memories, this ‘music, magic and mountains,’ this community, our collective anticipation for future FloydFests, are what keep each of us going, and we don’t take that lightly.
We are risk-takers by nature and trade. We don’t settle for status quo, because each of us deserves this annual gathering filled with love, magic, surprise, release and recharge. So, we balance pushing the boundaries of imagination and creativity with sustaining this annual gift we all give to each other: FloydFest.
Looking outward and inward, “FloydFest” is exactly what we all need this year. To boot, we have embarked on a paramount project: to make good on building all of us a forever home where we will celebrate life, love and living for decades to come. This dual mission hits deep for each of us. And thus, the news we received this week hits even deeper:
Due to final permitting and logistical factors beyond our control, the new FloydFest site, FestivalPark, is not currently viable for a 2023 festival, and we are currently exploring all options. We will be back with more information on April 6.
Make zero mistake — FloydFest and its future are strong, and this we do know: We will see each of you, our FloydFest Family, in July 2024, as we christen your new home, FestivalPark. More information will be announced next week.
We love you. Thank you. Stay tuned. #Onward
