They haven't announced a lineup yet for this year. But looking at previous years lineups this one might fit in to the kind of small farmfest I'm really enjoying these days.
Adding here so I can remember to keep an eye on it.

This is last years lineup, seems to have some of the same bands we've seen at other regional festivals.
edit: updated the picture to a lineup with additional bands.

That's a fine line-up. Are they selling tics before the line-up is announced this year? What's the camping situation like?
Post by grumbly-one on Mar 1, 2024 11:30:29 GMT -5
Added the link to my post, tickets are on sale now and they have RV and Powered RV (as of today)
I don't really know anything about this, I'm just wanting to add a few more festivals to my calendar this year and go searching when I'm sitting on boring conference calls.

Thanks. I just took a peek at their website. I've not heard of this fest but it's the 15 annual. Go figure. VIP is pricy at $900 (for two) but includes Festival swag and free pours. Sounds like a couple of other fests we've all heard of

I bought a powered RV pass but I'm going to hold off on tickets until they announce the lineup tomorrow. Leaning towards VIP.

I'm waiting for the lineup, might be a mistake. Powered RV is sold out now.

Not sure why I waited for the lineup just so I could pay more money, its not like they were going to drop Dead&Co or something.

Starting to poke around and try to figure out how this festival is going to be..
Looks smaller than Alder Creek, it will be a nice change of pace after 10k people at Floydfest.

I sent FPF an email asking about RV access as some friends told me it can be kind of tricky based on when you arrive. The fest is considering allowing RVs to enter before the fest to make this process easier and to keep watch for an email from them.Starting to poke around and try to figure out how this festival is going to be..

It's a 5 hour drive for me, so I'm not sure if 'early' is really an option for me. But now my trailer parking fears are triggered so... thanks?

You said early... but man they really mean EARLY.
We’re excited to welcome you to Front Porch Fest 15 and provide you with a special opportunity for early arrival! As an RV ticket holder, you’re invited to bring your RV onsite before the festival officially begins.
You can set up your spot on the following two dates:
Sunday, August 25th, between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM and
Tuesday, August 27th, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
These are the only windows available for early access, allowing you to get settled in and ready for the full experience once the gates open on Thursday at at 1:00 PM.
No, I wont be driving 5 hours on Tuesday night to drop off the RV and then 5 hours home for work on Wednsday. Only to drive 5 hours back on Thursday!
( I get it, its for the locals )
Been listening to my playlist, I'm really liking this lineup. Cant wait to get there.

Interesting that I haven't received this email yet, thanks for sharing. I suspected it would be something like this. It's just over a 2 hour round trip for me but I'll be there on 8/27 at 6 pm. I'd go on 8/25 but I'll be returning from another trip and need to turn over my tanks before FPF. This will save me a lot of stress and it also means I don't have to worry about being there right when the gates open at 1. Wonder if I can just stay?You said early... but man they really mean EARLY.No, I wont be driving 5 hours on Tuesday night to drop off the RV and then 5 hours home for work on Wednsday.

Maybe you didn't get the email because powered RV isn't as tricky? I imagine you wont be on that narrow road in the picture, youll probably be in the vicinity of one of the barns/buildings.
Tough parking is for us unpowered unwashed peons!!! (maybe)

Dropped off Jonesville yesterday evening. The picture that you posted was accurate. This area is as level as you could ask for. Maybe a 5 minute walk from where I'm camped to the venue, if that. There is also a water hookup at my site, not that I need it. 5 hour round trip to drop off trailer was a lot but I'm glad that I did.

Looking forward to doing a poor job of trailer parking in that same area in approximately 28 hours!

Your epic run has helped inspire me to kick off my little run with the Sol slam mountain jam this weekend. Can't wait to hear about front porch fest, know it's good if you guys like it.
