I’m not sure what the reason for them dying off is… it could be that The Allman Brothers anchored a lot of those events and when they went away bands like Tedeschi Trucks and Mule just weren’t the draw. It could be that with Furthur ending, Phil leaving the touring life and Dead & Co being almost too big for festivals that even Dead music lost its drawing power, especially with bands like JRAD who quasi tour and cost less than $50 to see and put on a quality show for that price point. It could be the lack of bands to carry the torch… as bands like the above mentioned, Panic & Cheese slowed down the bands like Pigeons, Twiddle and all the white boy reggae couldn’t save the festivals and bands like Billy Strings & Goose came along too late to save them. It could be the audience who after COVID and as they naturally age just aren’t going as much as they used to or have chosen to do other things like BMFS Tour, Dead & Co, Phish, etc… maybe it’s just that promoters got lazy and stopped putting out stuff people wanted to see or couldn’t see at their home venues.
I don’t know why it’s ending, but it makes me sad to see them all go away. I had alotta great times at festivals and will miss them. I just hope like all things, what was old and passé becomes new & chic again and that I get one more chance to rage a field and hear some drunk dude yell “Free Bird” while some spun out chick who ate too much loses her shit looking at a cloud while some guy burns sage in my face and tells me about his hella crystal collection and how he’s moving to Colorado to find himself. Those are the things I’ll miss most. The WOOKS.

Also speaking personally, as a fan there comes a time where its just hard to ignore the squeeze. Each year it seemed like a new segment of Peach was monetized. You didnt used to have to even buy a camping pass, then they started charging more for that. One parking pass used to give you access to the whole parking lot, then they started charging more for "upper/lower" lot. Last year they started charging more for tickets that allowed you to stand under the pavillion. This on top of the prices going up every year. It was only a matter of time before they started charging extra for certain camp spots, "better" lawn spots, making Thursday an 'add on' day, so on so forth. I totally understand this is a business and they've got to make their money, but "we need to do this to turn a profit so we can keep having the festival" only goes so far. Even if its true, as a human being I start to feel like I'm the earth and they just keep drilling deeper and deeper to try and extract more. Like, if the only way to have the event is to charge me for the air I breathe, I'd rather just not go.
But everything comes in cycles. At some point we gotta think someone will figure out how to throw this kind of event in a way that makes sense for everyone.

As I get older I tend to enjoy the smaller fests anyways so part of me welcomes the new festival scene. There may not be a bunch of big name jam festivals but there is still a ton of music out there if you poke around a bit.
Bring on the short lines and BYOB kinda vibes

But there's hope in a band like Goose that sells lots of tickets to a younger profile. Hope for music fans like us is the "Nobody You Olds Ever Heard of Festival" and those of us who are hep will clue right in.

They would have paid all the bands 50% on signing already. probably owe the balance at this late date, not to mention peripherals.
Skull & Roses Festival, the annual Grateful Dead-centric event at the Ventura Country Fairgrounds in Ventura, CA, has canceled its sixth annual edition, originally set to take place on April 19th, 20th, and 21st. In a post announcing the cancellation, the festival’s founder explained that “the financial devastation of the 2023 show made it impossible to sustain the weight of the new production.”
