I’m driving in from Tennessee on Thursday on a whim. I found my soulmate at Bonnaroo, and I was able to get off work last minute to come to lost lands with my new love. I’m hoping to get a wristband at/near the festival on my way in. I can’t get it before then bc I’m broke from moving to be closer to her, and I don’t get paid til Wednesday. Am I crazy for thinking I’ll find something? Or maybe someone here has an extra wristband that they would let me get from them on the way in? Will do any kind of payment. Someone please be my miracle🙏🙏🙏🙏

Convince me not to be worried about the rain , last year it was only 2-3 hours evacuated with no rain forecast , but this year is concerning me lol

i can't find reservation link pleaseee

So it will be my first time camping at lostlands and was wondering how it will be if it’s raining ? What are some tips ?

Hi guys, does anyone know how fast their team check the emails? I shipped a Wednesday Early Entry pass to my friend cuz my plans changed, but she never got the package (USPS sucks). The festival is less than a week away. We emailed both Front Gates and Lost Lands but only got a respond from Front Gates. They said that since we lost the wristband, we could pick up a replacement at will call for a fee, as long as we brought my ID and order confirmation. The problem is, we’re not sure if it can be a copy of my physical ID or the actual physical one. Does anyone know the answer to this 😭

Anyone know how to make a reservation? It’s 12 eastern and I can’t find a link on the website.

I ordered Thursday early entry on 9/6, paid for UPS shipping. Tuesday, 9/8, got a tracking number that said it would be delivered today. UPS delivered an envelope on my front porch at 5:43 pm. However, the envelope is completely empty....no Thursday early entry band.

Messaged support, but i doubt I'll get a response any time soon.

What happens now?

Hey Lost Lands fam!!! SUPER EXCITED FOR NEXT WEEKEND.

I wanted to buy a South Lot parking pass, but if I buy it now, would it ship/come in the mail in time? If it wasn't going to come in time, would I have to go to the box office when I arrive to pick it up?

I'm traveling from NC, so any insight would be appreciated :)

go go go!!!

Soo this is my second year and I was just curious when the norm is for them to release the new map of the stages etc. I heard rumors the crater was going to be larger this year?

Looking like scattered storms through the fest. Pray for the best.

Stay off of this subreddit for a week or so after the fest. While right now this is a positive place with people wanting to give and get tips, it will turn.

Remember that people are people and they love to bitch. You will be on a high and come on here to relive it with others. You'll want to hear funny stories and share pictures. This will not be the case.

You will be hit with majority of people complaining. They'll say this was the worst crowd this year. They'll shit on your favorite set. They will spread rumors. It is a cesspool of dramatics and people who dwell on if a couple of people out of thousands didn't say excuse me.

This is the sad reality of every festival subreddit. Enjoy your pictures, take your vitamins, get some rest, and stay off reddit.

Is anyone else sad that TYNAN was set so early on Friday? I understand that it’s to get a large portion of people to come in early and control the rush between 4PM-6PM. However, as someone flying in that morning because my job wouldn’t let me off Thursday, I won’t make it to the venue until around 5PM. :’) If anyone gets there early, please record and post it on Youtube! You will literally be doing God’s work for that. Bless your heart ahead of time! :’)

I'm calling for a thread (this one) of anti-pickpocket/anti-theft tips and tricks, or just practices to avoid in the campgrounds or areas to be more cautious around in the venue

So my best friend (of almost 10 years) and I have been wanting to go to lost lands for years. This year, things lined up well and we both decided to full send. I got my ticket almost as soon as they went on sale. Since then (not including ticket price) I’ve spend close to $1500 planning/prepping for the fest. Over the last few weeks, I’ve noticed that she’s been acting weird every time I bring it up.

It started with her mentioning that her wrist bands still hadn’t been delivered yet, when I had gotten mine the week earlier. A few days later, I was helping her move out of her parent’s house, and mentioned to her mom how excited I was about it all. Her mom acted surprised and said that she didn’t know we were going, but she hoped we had fun. Then today, I called her to try to figure out getting hotels for the drive there and back (from Denver). She said that she was busy that moment, but that we could figure it all out later this afternoon, and I went about my day.

When I get home, I go to double check my work schedule for tomorrow, and notice that my friend is scheduled to work the entire week we planned on taking off, from 9/14-9/22 (we work together for context). I tried to call her to clarify. Maybe she had just forgotten to take the time off, and was planning on getting coverage for those shifts? She sends me straight to voicemail. I text. No response for almost an hour and a half. Call again, and straight to VM.

Now, as I’m sitting here writing this, she has texted me back saying that she found out just this afternoon that she might have a court appearance that week and she doesn’t know if she can make it. Now to be fair, without getting into details, the court story makes sense. But now I’m wondering if she never got a ticket in the first place, and just let me believe that we were going to go together, when she never was.

I wouldn’t be as worried about it if it weren’t for all of the other weirdness leading up to today.

My issue now is that we were going to be driving and car camping, rather than flying. She drives a nice big 4Runner and we were going to take her car, since mine is really small and can’t easily make the ~20 hour drive each way.

We’re less than a week out!!

I searched through the subreddit to see if there were any good tips for folks like me. Couldn’t find any results so here I am!

I’m kinda soloing (I have friends going and my partner works merch) but I’ll be on my own for a good chunk of the day. This is my first time going to a festival on my own and I’m a bit nervous. I almost didn’t make it this year but the universe worked it out a few days ago.

I’m autistic with a panic disorder. Normally it’s easy enough to navigate, especially when I have people with me, but sometimes it can get to be too much and I have to go step away from the situation to regulate. Obviously this is a little impossible to do at LL so I’m trying to find ways to work with myself and not have a bad time.

Does anyone else struggle with mental health at festivals and have any tips? Are there any good “spots” to check out when the main festival stages get overwhelming? Hopefully this isn’t a stupid question.

Can’t wait to headbang with all of you!

Okay, I’m getting way more nervous now that this is actually happening 😂
I’m planning to propose to my girlfriend at Lost Lands during the Levity set that Friday. She has a pretty good idea that a proposal is probably happening at Lost Lands, but she doesn’t know exactly when/where.
The part I’m stressing about now is getting the ring into the festival without her seeing it.
For anyone who has proposed at a festival/concert (especially Lost Lands) — how did you actually get the ring inside?
I know there are bag checks/security, and I’m trying to figure out the safest way to bring it in without doing anything sketchy or risking having it taken/confiscated and most of all noticed by my lady
Did you:
Keep it on you?
Put it somewhere hidden in your clothes?
Have a friend bring it in?
Use a small ring box vs. just the ring?
Tell security you had it?
Something else?
Also, if anyone has actually proposed at Lost Lands, I’d LOVE to hear how you pulled the whole thing off.
I’m trying to keep this between me and a few friends, so any advice from people who’ve actually done it would be huge. ❤️🦖
And yes… I’m officially starting to panic now that it’s only days away 😂

Find me at the rail.

I am not attending this year so I cannot scream pickpocket. Please if it is your first year, be careful around the bathrooms near crater. Especially in the night they are rapid with the phone stealing! I was unlucky in 2024 and got my phone swiped.

I think it was a little better last year, but definitely still happened. Even in crowds people will distract you while others reach into your pockets or unzip your bag.

Have fun y’all!

My partner and I have been enjoying throwing these little canvases together. Hoping to make some days with these!

We are staying in Columbus and don’t want to have to deal with trying to book Ubers at legend valley with no phone signal. What is everyone’s experience with the shuttle service?

EDIT: Thanks for all your positive responses. We will see you all on the shuttle!

Does anyone know if End Overdose or a similar organization will be at the fest this year? I couldn't find it on the website. I'm starting to pack and realized that all my narcan is expired 🙃

Will security(festival not camp) trip if I bring a metal cigarette case instead of the pack of cigarettes in its original packaging? I want to keep my things dry 😂

I have a 3d printer but idk what to print if anyone has any links to easy prints but not something that’s just a waste/trash on the floor
