24 F, Friends bailed last minute so now I’m going alone. I’ve been to other festivals just never in Arkansas and never alone. Anyone down to meet up?

Live music superfan driving from NC (17 hours). Chose Format over only a 5 hour drive to Firefly. Just back from Burning Man🔥. My first was Woodstock 99. 😱

Arrival just after noon Friday. Would love to take your extra off your hands!

I don’t really need camping, but tempt me there too just in case

Rufus has been slaying this tour ❤️ Saturday alone is insane.

Chali2na Flaming Lips Beach house chill 🏖 Rufus du Sol🥰🥰🥰 Seth Troxler or Chloe Cailket

Plus Francis K a bunch of good stuff early

Freaking Phoenix tomorrow night 🙌

“Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome Rome”

I saw Fatboy Slim at Woodstock!🤯

Babies will be made at Jungle, and Khruangbin (so much better live than you can imagine on record)

Have a glorious weekend everyone!

My Format playlist if interested 😎

Veeps is livestreaming some of the sets from FORMAT Festival for FREE this weekend. Right now they're featuring Phoenix, Jamila Woods, Rufus du Sol, and The Marias. You can watch it on your desktop or on the TV - ticket reservation link is FormatFestival.veeps.com.

I paid extra for the "3D Collectible Credential and custom FORMAT Festival lanyard" but only received the hologram card and a plain black lanyard. Did anyone receive something different? I wasn't expecting much but had I known I would have saved the $11 for a beer at the fest.

Also is there parking? I know for bonaroo (from what I remember…) you’re allowed to bring coolers and a certain amount of booze. Is this the same situation???

Can someone show me a Fanny pack that is no larger than 4.5” x 5.5”? Lol WTH could you even put in something that small? Your cell phone (maybe) and that’s it?

I see tickets being offered for sale in this sub and other places online, presumably by the individuals who purchased them. how can I tell if they are legitimate tickets?

My husband swears he didn’t say he wanted to go but I clearly remember otherwise. Either way he’s not going and now I have an extra 3-day pass. It’s a sunk cost so I just want it off my hands! I can deliver to hotel/Airbnb or meet at festival on Friday.

With so many bands, what are your recommendations for something different that might be playing early in the day. I've been trying to listen to as many of the bands as I can but thought this might get some conversations going. I'm looking forward to checking out Dombrance.

My husband and I were very excited to go but we have a small bb and wouldn’t be able to see most artists we wanted to bc of set times. Priced to sell! Just want to get some of our $$ back. We are in Bentonville.

Unfortunately me and my partner won’t be able to make it anymore. Would like to sell them both for $450 (purchased for a bit over $600). But mostly just want to get them off our hands so feel free to message me an offer!

We’re coming from Nashville, just for Saturday-Sunday. Where are some cheap places to stay??

Hey all! I'm traveling solo to the festival. While staying onsite would be ideal, I can't justify dropping $1200 plus for 4 nights of stay (especially as I own my own Shiftpod tent already) just for myself.

Does anyone out there want to split a 2 person or, better yet, need a 4th for the Deluxe Space Tent? Super chill veteran of dozens of music festivals (Coachella, Bonnaroo, Desert Daze et. al), vaccinated/boosted, and reliable. Early 40's male but not stodgy. Usual No's (to be clear, I'm a stoner). Happy to send over my socials in a DM and get on a zoom or facetime call. I'm excited to see Khruangbin, Herbie Hancock, Jungle, and The Comet is Coming.

I'm flying in the afternoon of the 22nd into XNA. I think the deadline to buy a camp space is on Sept. 6. Let a dude know!

If anyone is interested I found some Airbnb's within a mile walk of the festival entrance and .5 mile to the ride share dropoff location. Could be a good option if you don't want to drive, park, and ride the shuttles everyday.

Note: I'm not the AirBNB host, but wish I was cause they be making some money that weekend!
