Rating: 2 out of 5by Anonymous on 8/27/15Tom Hanafan River's Edge Park - Council Bluffs Rating: 4 out of 5 Day of Fun and Sun with Oldies but Goodies!
by Sparyn on 8/26/15Tom Hanafan River's Edge Park - Council BluffsOverall, lots of fun. This was clearly the best run of the three day show and early on the least populated. But that was great for my clan who had some shade, good music and lots of cold beer. The highlight was of course Lynard and CCR - both sounded great, played up to the crowd and was just a whole lotta fun! I'll be back next year.
Rating: 1 out of 5by UnhappyMatisyahuFan on 8/6/15Tom Hanafan River's Edge Park - Council Bluffs Extremely disappointed in the organization of this event. I bought tickets with the intent of only watching Matisyahu who was scheduled to play at 6:30. We scheduled a babysitter so my wife and I could go to the show. This would have been our 4th year in a row of seeing Matisyahu. The lineup did not play in order and we could not find anyone who had information on when he was going to actually come on. We ended up leaving around 8 pm and apparently he finally played late that night, but I was unable to stay that late and would have never wasted money on tickets had I known that.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Lupe Fiasco was awesome
by huskerkevin2014 on 8/5/15Tom Hanafan River's Edge Park - Council BluffsI enjoyed all of the bands that played Grassroots. I especially enjoyed Pomeroy, POD and Lupe Fiasco. Good day of music overall!
Rating: 3 out of 5 VIP?
by TheBeardedOne on 8/5/15Tom Hanafan River's Edge Park - Council BluffsThe VIP area was an absolute joke. There was no roped off section for chairs only.
Rating: 3 out of 5 I applaud the effort...
by Est3ban on 8/5/15Tom Hanafan River's Edge Park - Council BluffsI can't completely bash the festival as some have already. We got a few big-name artists to come to NE/IA who lived up to that pedigree in their performances (i.e. Cudi, Lupe, DJ Snake, P.O.D., etc.). I mostly enjoyed the experience with close friends all while being close to home. Issues: Unprepared, unorganized, overwhelmed, no follow-thru, unprofessional staff (outside of food merchants/stage staff) Fetty Wap and Schoolboy Q were headlined and never showed. Day 1 entry was a fiasco and luckily no one was seriously injured in the melee (other than a couple of tazed idiots). By Day 3, the only food available was pork sandwiches (think Chicago Dawg House walked away after Day 1).

Rating: 1 out of 5 Horrible festival
by Iowa311 on 8/5/15Tom Hanafan River's Edge Park - Council BluffsBands did not play when they were scheduled. Multiple artist did not show up because the event organizers never scheduled them. The bands that did play were awesome but the festival was poorly organized with very little communication.
Rating: 2 out of 5 Grassroots Never Again!
by CCRES on 8/5/15Tom Hanafan River's Edge Park - Council BluffsThe only reason I spent $60 on a ticket to this event was to see Schoolboy Q, and he didn't even show up! I wasn't aware of this until the event had already started. This was a TERRIBLY unorganized event that I won't waste my money on again.
Rating: 3 out of 5 CCR, Skynyrd, Tucker were something else!
by ThatGrandmaLady on 8/5/15Tom Hanafan River's Edge Park - Council BluffsArrived about 2:30 for the afternoon/evening set. We appreciated that the bands without much star power played short sets. Enjoyable, recognizable, but short. Pure Prairie League was probably the biggest disappointment for me. The lack of original singers was most noticeable during their set. Blue Oyster Cult performed well enough, but didn't seem to fit with the rest of the bands. Marshall Tucker was a pleasant surprise! Still enjoying entertaining and it shows. Good musicians can play forever. CCR did not disappoint at all. Nice set with plenty of hits. Saw Skynyrd last year and enjoyed them just as much this year. They work hard to keep the crowd engaged. Even after hours in the sun seeing them again was worth the wait.
