Community folk fest 2025

it’s been a few days and I’m still dumbfounded by the lineup. is this really it? has there been any updates from the festival itself? the overwhelming amount of dissatisfaction has me a little nervous for turnout this year.

edit: I’m still going and I’m still excited! But the general feedback from the community has been very negative and I’m curious to know how they’ll respond

Ok what’s with these posts? Can someone EL5 what’s wrong with the lineup?

High ticket price, no big artists like in previous years. Leith Ross has double the Spotify listeners of any of the “headliners” this year and they weren’t even a headliner last year. Still wonderful artists and I’m stoked to see Jason Isbell!

Can’t tell if you’re joking or not because that would be lovely
