Who decided the line-up for the mainstage? It is sad to see Seether 'headline' and perform so poorly, when you have an awesome band like Sevendust who has played Luau several times and slays it EVERY TIME on stage. Papa Roach and Three Days Grace were good as well as Buckcherry (on 2nd Stage) It was a cold & windy day but the music kept people warm. Thanks FM99!
I went to see Sevendust, who I've seen quite a few times and are amazing every time, and Volbeat primarily. Beyond that I would've been glad to see Papa Roach and Seether again, and wouldn't have minded seeing All That Remains, P.O.D., and Nonpoint. I thought the autograph tent was an awesome idea since meeting the bands is usually kind of difficult, especially at large venues. Unfortunately each band was at the tent for 30 minutes and it took over an hour in line to get to it, so you either missed out on 2-3 really good performances to get an autograph from one of the bands and couldn't really plan for which one, or just didn't get an autograph. That is also one of the issues that came from the lineup. Seether headlines for all of these bands? They have some good songs, but they really didn't try to put on a show at all. No backdrop, no crowd involvement, almost no effort it seemed. They just stood there and played looking kind of bored. Yet Sevendust went on at 4:30 in the afternoon and Volbeat just 30 minutes after they finished. Also, 3 Days Grace just replaced their singer with Matt Walst from My Darkest Days. One day this guy is singing frat boy rock looking like the dude from The Goo Goo Dolls, and the next he's mimicking Adam Gontier, dyes his hair black, and tries to look like some goth kid that just woke up after a night at a Marilyn Manson concert. I get that the band wanted to keep touring, but this was just lame. And even with that, they had a long set, later in the evening. Autograph tent should've had the big bands at it early in the afternoon and had 2 bands at it at once while Trapt and Otherwise were playing, so that people could enjoy better bands that night and with better energy. That said, all the bands on the main stage, except Seether, worked to put on a good show and it was an enjoyable experience.
The place was PACKED and it was a little chilly with the wind, but all of the bands were amazing. The ones that stood out the most for me were Three Days Grace, Volbeat, Sevendust, and All That Remains. The first three were on the main stage but All That Remains absolutely killed it on the second stage. Great show!
I had a blast. Got to see all my favorite bands papa roach and three days grace in one place. Only thing I didnt like was you couldn't see the side stage from main stage. I wanted to see buckcherry but didnt want to lose my awesome front row pit I was in!!!!! All in all best experience ever!!! Just wish it was a lil warmer lol :):)
