Wilco solid sound mentioned in a Rolling Stones piece on the VIP experience at festivals

[thejokeexplained]

As music sales continue to plummet, VIP sections have become accepted as a necessity by many artists and managers. "Festivals are a huge risk to put on," says Buck Williams, agent for Widespread Panic. "Selling off sponsorships or VIPs is a way to get through." "The genie's out of the bottle, and it ain't coming back in," adds Tony Margherita, Wilco's manager.

Still, some festivals, including the Warped Tour and Wilco's Solid Sound fest, get by without selling any VIP tickets. "We don't have to extract every dollar," says Margherita.

Solid Sound and New Port are the only two festivals i plan on ever going back to. This article depicts exactly why!

i am really bummed that All Tomorrow's Parties only held three events at this place... despite the dodgy looks if it (and keep in mind the last one was held in 2010), it was such a great experience:

I don't know about that link, I clicked on it and my computer blew up.  Maybe it was just me (but I've got a brand new computer), but be careful.

i've clicked that link several times w/o nothing adverse coming up, and my computer has malwarebytes running.
