Outlandia Music Festival

UPDATE: August 2024 - VIP ExperienceI attended Oulandia this year in the VIP area, so wanted to update with that experience. IMO It's totally worth it to do VIP if you want a more comfortable time at the show! I did the normal VIP, not the "Ultra VIP" (the Ultra VIP doesn't seem super worth it for the few things you get above the normal VIP).Some of the perks of the VIP ticket:-A special entryway and security pass through -Chairs and tables in the VIP pavilion (so no lugging your camping chairs in)-Overhead fans in the VIP pavilion to keep you cool, along with the shade-Your own private bar where you order your drinks (and can buy your tokens too at the same windows)-VIP bathroom trailers that are pretty high end and air conditioned -A special VIP viewing area that goes right up to the stage-A private food option for sale (it was Via Farina this year, not sure if it's different every year)Those were the big ones for me, but I might be missing some things too!Now the only two downsides I can think of to the VIP tickets:-It definitely can be expensive if you're paying for it yourself and not from a sponsor company or something. -You are a little "away" from the fun atmosphere of the crowd while you sit at your table in the pavilion (but you can join the crowd and then head back to the pavilion if you want to meet friends, etc)And in terms of Outlandia 2024 in general - I think they may have made a mistake having the two biggest bands on the same night (Flaming Lips and The Faint). The Saturday lineup was not as strong. I like a few songs from the main headliners on the Saturday lineup, but not anything near the two that were on Friday. Just my opinion, but I may be in the minority of thinking that.The whole festival didn't seem as packed as the past two years. I hope Outlandia keeps happening, because it is a fun festival with definitely some good acts each year!

Holy smokes! What a great event. This is a small, chill festival with a great lineup in 2024. We were there for day 2 and were very impressed with the venue, including how they utilized the space to keep lines short. Not a lot of options for food venders but the variety was good. Especially loved the asian truck had appetizers for $5 so made for a reasonable priced snack. Kind of a bummer pizza was only available in VIP..We didn't camp, so can't speak yo that part of the event.A couple opportunities for improvement is the limited amount of information on the website and lack of hand washing station at the bathrooms (there was one at the food area but that was quite a walk). We weren't sure what would be allowed in, and since we took a ride-share in, didn't want to risk it. But chairs of all types/sizes and bags were allowed (we even saw people haul in with wagons and one group had a small pop up tent for their kids to get shade.
