The best music festival! Great size, even better artists!!
Amazing line up and great festival. Felt very safe. No long lines to anything. It may looked long but would move super quick. Very well organized.
Have been to many festivals - this was the best by a mile. Incredibly professional and an amazing ambience. Then the lineup…. Best lineup. Will be back for sure
Top of the line venue, amazing sound. Lineup was unmatched
loved it! for the girls & the gays but it was so amazing, venue is pretty and line ups are always top tier. would be 5 stars if they didnt charge $20 for a margarita that had no alcohol and way too much sugar and for mediocre tenders and fries. need more food options for vegans/other dietary needs. aside from that, everything was great! security did a really good job.
Incredible lineup and great that the screens showed the other performances! More like 3.5 stars. In my opinion there were enough bathrooms in good state, plenty of bars, employees were very kind. However it was completely oversold, way too crowded virtually everywhere and only two(?) water stations was wild. Food stands refused to fill up bottles with tap water and food was mid. The security acted quick for crowd emergencies, but I wish there were a few more around because things got wild on the lawn.
Sounded great, safe venue, tons of staff working to keep stuff stocked sold and cleaned.
ATG had one of the best line ups of the year and the music lived up to expectations. Sound quality was amazing. Only once did the music from one stage interfere with the other stage. Overall, great set up. Qualms were lack of bathroom spaces and quality of those spaces, lines were absurd beginning in late afternoon until the rest of the evening both nights. Most bathrooms had no TP, no running water, no soap by mid-day. I’ve never been to a festival which so few port-a-potties. There were only 3 food stands outside of the Merriweather stands, clearly not enough for the crowds. Lines were 1 hour+ wait by mid-day, including at the Merriweather stands. Spending half your time waiting in line and missing music is not how we want to spend our festival experience! We had a blast thanks to the quality of performances, but I would think twice about going again unless those issues are addressed.
Was looking forward to seeing Boygenius perform, but because I was on the lawn I could only see the screens showing them. This would’ve been fine, but the video that was played was hyper-edited and for aesthetic, meaning no one on the lawn could actually see what was happening on stage. It was unfortunate because I, like others, paid a big amount for the ticket, but only the people who were in the seating area could laugh along at whatever boygenius were doing on stage- something we couldn’t even see. If only the screens just showed what was happening on the stage.
Felt like too many tickets got sold for the venue and they weren’t prepared to handle that many people. Overall it felt like the festival was poorly planned- food vendors ran out of one of the only vegetarian options, nobody was directing parking, and despite having VIP entrances, regular admissions were allowed through any entrance anyway. The lawn was way too crowded on Sunday which might just speak to the type of people going (hogging space, etc) but I also just think the venue wasn’t big enough for the demand. It was nice that they had screens of both stages though and it was smart of them to stagger performances.
This was my first music festival and I had a great time! The lineup was incredible and Iike that they listened and added a gap between Boygenius and Muna. I appreciated that when it got super hot they started passing out waters so people could keep their spots by the stage and stay hydrated in the heat.
This is the second year my friends and I have gone to ATG and it’s only gotten better! The headliners were amazing, the venue is the perfect size (not too big and not too small), and the facilities are always so clean and easy to access. Love the free parking and the coffee truck was a great addition this year! I wish the food wasn’t as expensive as it is ($14 for a pretzel and beer cheese??) but at least it’s a decent meal and you can bring in snacks. Overall, ATG is easily the best music festival by far. Can’t wait for next year!!!!!!
There was no security or enforcement of seating. Im 5’2 and got screamed at by a 6’4 man because I told him he was sitting in my seat. I payed 250 dollars to be harassed, since there was no security the man stood behind me for Lanas whole set and would clap next to my face really loudly. I felt uncomfortable the whole time.
The lineup for All Things Go 2023 was stellar. However, there were significant organizational flaws. There was zero parking signage anywhere, and parking was sometimes challenging. They were random locations such as office and mall parking lots. We couldn’t do anything at the festival, such as go to the bathroom and get food or water without waiting in a minimum 25-30 minute line, if not way longer. There were not enough water filling stations (especially with the unexpected heat), and it was exhausting to wait for what felt like forever for a simple water refill. It felt like they oversold the number of tickets based on these hassles. Although we loved seeing some of our favorite artists, we will never come back to this festival due to the number of struggles and inconveniences we experienced.
I attended All Things Go for Boygenius, Muna, and of course Lana Del Rey. Overall I had a great time. I think could have been improved are for the seating sections in the pavillion to be labeled a bit better so that it's easier to find. Additionally, I was upset that Lana Del Rey's set got cut short due to local curfew. Her set was supposed to be from 9:30 - 11:00, but I believe she came on some time between 9:45 and 10:00. For future shows I think it would greatly improve the fans' experience if extra time was built in to accommodate for this curfew, that way it limits the chances of the headliner's set getting cut. In this specific case with a strict 11:00 cutoff, scheduling the set from 9:00 to 10:30 would give 30 minutes of buffer in case the artist or stage setup is running behind schedule.
The line up was hands down the BEST. Everything else was a hot mess. The entire festival was over sold, especially the lawn. Every single line for the food or bathroom would take 30-40 minutes. And after 4/5pm, almost all of the food and drinks were out. One stand didn’t even have water at one point. And there needs to be more water fill stations, I could only find 2 the entire weekend. It also needs to be more clear where the “VIP” pavilion seats are. I was sat in the middle left section and would get kicked out of my seat because the VIP had reserved seats.
I have been to my fair share of music festivals and this was by far my least favorite. I was very excited for it given the amazing line up. However, never having been to this venue before, I was shocked at how poorly designed it was. If you don't pay for the stupidly expensive seats, you can't see anything. Seriously. I paid almost $200 to stare at a screen in the blazing hot sun. I could have done that for free at home! It was also wildly overcrowded for how little space there is to spread out. You seriously can't see the stage from ANYWHERE. And there is no easy acccess to public transportation and trying to get an uber was a nightmare. Overall, if I could take it back, I wouldn't have gone. I love all these artists and even they didn't make up for the overall bad vibes. Who wants to go to a concert if you can't see anything?
Had the best day of my life! A dream festival 💜 thank you so much!!
It was incredible until at the end of the day, the sets of Boygenius and Lana Del Rey got cut off because they were brought onstage about 15 minutes late each. Boygenius were supposed to do an extended 90 minute set but didn’t do their encore and Lana also wasn’t able to do 3 of her songs.
VIP experience was great. Worth the extra $ for sure. Great seats, amazing atmosphere, clean bathrooms, lines for food/drinks moved quickly. Clean facility and security was top shelf. And of course, the BANDS!! Sound was perfect. Boygenius was so so rad. My ONLY complaint would be the parking. Took some driving around and maneuvering but eventually found a spot.
