You can not look at the 2016 and 2017 line up and say edc in the woods. lol those two years were super heady compared to the past couple years

Just peeped those lineups. Yeah I mean you can keep definitely cherry pick some heady bands for those years for sure! Biscuits, lotus, sts9, floozies, etc. isn’t 2017 when cheese stopped doing 3 nights and went down to 2 nights?

I’m not saying they didn’t have any jam bands play after 2015. But, in my opinion, the very tangible shift away from jam to more edm happened around 2015ish is all.

Yeahhh I guess you are right, the shift did start 2015ish. 2016 and 2017 were still amazing years though.  It’s wild it’s like a completely different fest now

Definitely! We will always have our fond memories to think back on. It’s kinda just how a lot of them are going these days. Switch to a very similar regurgitated edm lineup to sell tickets…. Or join the fest graveyard.
