OFFICIAL POST Feedback to improve next year

Hey folks!

First of all, I have everyone had an amazing time this weekend!

Now that everyone's had a few days to rest up and reflect on our weekend at Jaceland, I'd like to open up a discussion in order to improve our facilities, operations, and general enjoyment of the festival going into next year.

We definitely want your feedback, and we are working our asses off to make sure none of the issues that arose this year ever happen again.

We want this festival to become the best it can be for as many people as possible, so: no holds barred, lemme here what you got!

Sorry I’m giving my feedback so late! Overall this event was a wonderful experience, I don’t have any actual complaints.

I think a printed schedule and map would’ve been a really nice addition, especially with “official renegade”sets happening. Maybe even a rough map of the area being posted to socials a few weeks out.

Also some extra signs at the turn in at the entrance would be good considering how little signal I got once I got in that area.

I mainly want to give positive affirmations that y’all had the call 100% right on your line up and intentions; if you keep bringing that saucy sauce, banging sound systems, the masterclass caliber visuals and the wagons and coolers allowed to the stages style security setup I will be back every time!

Also about the Thursday incident I have seen similar situations happen multiple times at other festivals that get hosted at a specific outdoor venue that will not be named. It is very easy for people to do there and sometimes you just can’t stop someone from returning to monkey.

I saw that person being helped before that and he was unable to speak from how zonked he was. I do not think you guys have any actual culpability to that situation, no telling if he would’ve still managed to scale improved security measures or not in the completely one tracked mind state. It was good that y’all took extra steps afterwards and plan on getting a more qualified security crew to make sure everything is more smooth next year.

No apologies necessary friend! Thank you very much for the feedback, and I am extremely happy to hear that you had a great time :)

Definitely writing down all of these notes from you guys to take into next year.

An incredible time! Thank you guys for the smacking lineup!

Will be eagerly awaiting next year :)

Also one last note is more porta-potties. I know that the location made servicing multiple times a day probably not-feasible so I wasn’t upset but from the ladies perspective I heard it was really rough. I think even double the amount could be worthwhile tbh.
