Mean Trees Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Who's idea was it to have a festival that's in an area flanked with large buildings in the background? It should be in an open space then there could be better spacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaggot Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I was there for the gun scare, it was so ******* terrifying I turned around and saw a huge crowd of people running and screaming towards me so I ran and jumped over a vendor table and hid with the workers. it turned out to be false but the terror was real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domination Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Tbh, all these one off festivals are always a hot ass mess. Spend your money on an established annual festival because they actually know what they’re doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBJT2786 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I'm coming back from Vegas today. I went both days. Saturday was a hot ass mess. I'm glad I did VIP because the GA was a struggle bus. The water stations were hot, people were passing out left and right from the heat. Artists like Mase were being Divas. Sounds issues and that "incident" But overall it was still one of best festival experiences I've ever had. So many 90s and 2000s artists in one roof was pure insanity. Sunday was way better and went extremely smoothly. I will do it again if they ever have a second annual one.

Some idiot yelled GUN and everyone started running. I stayed ( they told us to stay put) and got a good view of Usher/Luda/Lil Jon's set and Lauryn Hill.

kishi Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) I went Sunday. SO MANY GREAT PERFORMANCES! I was bummed out about Brandy (the Aaliyah tribute would have been amazing, I saw at least 200 attendees Aaliyah shirts), but I got to see and enjoy TLC, Monica, Amerie, Ciara, SWV, Keith Sweat, Trina, Lil Kim, XScape, Mya, Lloyd, Cassie, Frankie J, Lauryn Hill & Wyclef Jean and so many others. Literally reliving my childhood and teenage good times! 21 hours ago, JBJT2786 said: I'm coming back from Vegas today. I went both days. Saturday was a hot ass mess.

But absolutely no GA. I did hear about everything that went wrong and I'm glad they learned from it. I think they should shorten the line up moving forward. I dislike that people will have to pick and choose between artists rather than see them all perform. Either give everyone 15-30 minutes on one stage or 30 minutes a piece with very few overlaps on the four different stages.

exfactor003 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I was there all day Saturday, and the last 3-4 hours of Sunday. had a blast, and it was easily one of the best experiences of my life, despite Brandy, who I was most excited to see, not being there.

kishi Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I was there from 12pm to 12am. Still feeling it today, but glad I stayed for the entire thing. Highly recommend taking advantage of the water refill station and the free water at every bar and stage. They were not allowing spray sunscreen in, but I think a small bottle of the regular sunscreen is fine. And definitely sit whenever possible. A lot of people were sitting down during the day.

I've recorded about 2 hours worth.of footage on my phone.ive posted on my IG stories. U played it smart. Put it in airplane mode when recording and ultra power saving mode when I wasn't using. Also loved the Bling Stage the most cuz I got soooo close to Dru Hill. It was an amazing weekend as someone who got lucky and left the main stage before the stampede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got kind of lucky regarding the stampede as well, as I was watching Monica, then made it back in time for Lauryn Hill’s short Saturday set, haha.
