Solid Sound ‘26

The Friend of the Festival pass was hard to obtain. I had to settle for the regular ticket (although, as much as I enjoy having access to the lounge, I'm not sure there's anything worth an extra 97 bucks a day with the FotF pass).

I  was looking for the schedule or line up but couldn't find  one, but I did find this.

 

What about tapers?

Because of obstructed views caused by taping rigs, we no longer allow tapers. The good news is you can get an official copy of Wilco’s Solid Sound sets here.

 

 

Uh huh.  There are dozens of ways for tapers not to obstruct views of others. 

 

They should skip the BS justification and just say "we don't allow taping".  I'm no longer a taper and have no plans to attend so I don't have a dog in this fight, but that line of bullshit really annoys me.  Your fans aren't gullible republican voters who will believe any line of crap you throw out there.  Just be honest with people.  You think tapers will reduce your revenue stream.  It's outdated and disproven and actually will hurt your revenue, but most of all it's insulting to your fans.  What a turn off.

They stopped allowing taping several years ago. But I don't think they ever really put out a statement about it. That's the first official word I recall seeing about it.

"gullible republican voters"   This topic is not political.  Wilco isnt "the man" and "keeping you down"  I have never voted for a republican if that puts your mind at ease.
