summerdai Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hi, I'm new to writing on this forum, but I have been following it for quite a while. I have been considering going to Solid Sound next year, however I have a few questions that perhaps people that have been before can help with. First of all, if the place easy to reach? I would be travelling to it from Europe, and potentially only have public transports to rely on. I wouldn't want to start buying the tickets and then find out it'll be very difficult to get there. On a similar note, how is the accommodation situation near the festival area? My understanding is that it is quite a small place, and again would want to start planning everything and then not find anywhere to stay (asking early as my guess is that everything nearby needs to be booked fairly quickly). Hope this is the right place to ask. Thanks, Monica It's in the middle of nowhere! Most local accommodation will be already booked however there may be airbnb options (at inflated prices). I believe last year there were buses running from New York City, or maybe I dreamt that. I stayed in a motel about 30 mins drive north of North Adams, I did book that relatively late, about 4 months before the festival. If you look around and see a room available, book it now, making sure you can get a full refund if you don't make it over. You could probably stay as far away as Albany (1 hour) if you don't mind driving afterwards, but the roads are rural and very dark except on Sunday when it finishes early.

shawnsolo73 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 My wife and I are staying in Vermont. I think about 30-45 minutes away. AirBnB is what we used. There's still some stuff available but as summerdai already said the prices are inflated. It'll be worth it though. This is a once in a lifetime thing for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Don't get your hopes up - this is not a post to say that early bird tickets have been announced. However, two years ago, on December 5th, early bird 3-day passes went on sale. They announced it on December 3rd. $124 was the early bird price, and $50 for kids passes. Four years ago, $99 was the early bird price. Let's keep our fingers crossed that an announcement comes this week or next for ticket sales! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

While I'm looking forward to this as much as anyone, I have always wished it didn't come at Christmas time! Who has a spare dime at this time of year?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shawnsolo73 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 It would make for an awesome Christmas gift though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Inside of Outside Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Rodriguez is playing Concord, NH on the 21st and Portland, ME on the 25th, with nothing in between. Friday night at Solid Sound fits right in the middle of these two dates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I woke up to a bizarre redundant email from Wilco HQ about the 2017 Winter Dates, but this time there's a p.p.s. : "thinking about Solid Sound? We are too. Stay tuned next week." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Two bands that I hope will play at SS in June, The Lemon Twigs and Savoy Motel, just announced a joint tour for February/March. One can hope.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shawnsolo73 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 In the past how hard has it been to get tickets? I know for a normal show you pretty much have to get them within the first few minutes or they're gone. Since this is a three day event and not everyone can do that I figure it won't be nearly as bad. Regardless, I'm getting mine right at 10, or at least I hope to. I'm trying at least!

tinnitus photography Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 i am looking forward to the 2017 lineup... tbh, i think that the 2015 one was the weakest of the four so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulcalypse Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 i am looking forward to the 2017 lineup... tbh, i think that the 2015 one was the weakest of the four so far.Sadly, Taj Mahal couldn't make it. Even just that one addition could really have changed my feelings about '15 as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
