You brought it up, fool. Just say "maybe I was wrong" and back away slowly.
I cannot help but read that in the voice of Arnold from Silver Spoons

I'm a huge jazz and blues fan. In fact, I'm listening to Coltrane's Equinox right now. But people like what they like. Don't bother me none if their taste is inferior.

They should be. There are only three of them left, and they're all guys so they can't reproduce.

The one band we wanted to see on Saturday cancelled. No refunds ... unless you bought for Saturday only. So because I invested more money to support the event, I get worse service.
No-one wants to see the replacement act. On one resale site alone on the same day as the announcement, there are 77 tickets up for grabs, going at half their original price.
I'm so angry about this I don't want to see any of it now. The whole thing's been tainted. So I'm over £250 out of pocket. Plus, it was organised by a local group who put on loads of great family events that I often go to, and now I won't be able to in the future, because I'm not giving the fuckers a single penny more. Fuming. I feel like breaking things.

Same. I've been to many (there are a lot of them in Michigan) and I've never had a real problem. The annual Irish Music festival in Muskegon is great. There's a semi-regular Folk/Blues festival in Ypsi. Blissfest in Petoskey can be fun. I think it depends on two things: space available and organization. If you have enough space, sound from the stages shouldn't overlap that much. If they're properly organized, side stages will be playing while the main stage is breaking down/setting up and vice-versa.
I also went to the first couple Lollapaloozas and to the Horde festival a couple times, back in the day. I've always had good experiences.

Big Ears in Knoxville started out pretty great but gets more and more normie each year and their pricing scheme is horseshit. They should probably just kill it.
Moogfest was the one I really liked while it was still in Asheville. Kraftwerk put on an amazing show a few years ago. Since it moved to Durham the lineups have gotten less interesting and it's taken on embarrassing political undertones.
Spoleto USA in Charleston, SC occasionally has some neat modern opera (a bizarro version of the Little Matchbook Girl a few years ago was a highlight). This year they've got some kind of awesome-looking new Liza Lim opera that looks like some trippy semiotic / ontological meditation.

Black Barney wrote: Jack, which bands come to that Irish festival? I try to go to the ones near me when I can. There was a good one 5-6 years ago in Sarasota Springs, NY where Lunasa came from Ireland, and it was headlines by Great Big Sea. Total blast.
This is this year's lineup: michiganirish.org/entertainment/
Sept. 13-16.

Are you going?
Last year you guys got Lunasa! Did you see them? I LOVE those guys. Instrumental acts are my favourite and I see that you guys get a lot of them. Sounds like a fun festival.
surprised to see so many groups out of Michigan. Must be a livelier irish scene there than I thought, very cool.
