skwatra Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Free Press Summer Fest tickets on sale and lineup announced. Moving back to Eleanor Tinsley (for now). Tickets are $148 plus fees for GA, no blind pre-sale this year. https://www.fpsf.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asubrt Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Embarrassment of a lineup. Seems like they are downsizing as well (down to 4 stages this year from 5 last year and at least 6 or possibly 7 in previous years). No way I'm spending money on that. Hopefully for the people who do go it doesn't flood again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Wow, that's underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwatra Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Looks like they have scaled back, which I would be ok with other than the price point. But I'm still planning on going, last year I will be able to walk there before we move out of the area. I'll enjoy The Shins, Strumbellas, St Paul (saw them at Continental, really good), The Struts, Portugal The Man. Tove Lo and Charlie XCX will be good later in the night. They have often announced more bands later, though that was when they were doing the blind presale and made multiple announcements and price hikes.

hindesky Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I've gone to every single one since they started, I think I might skip this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I went a few years ago -- maybe 3 or 4. It was fun. But, tickets are expensive (at least I think that they are, or maybe I am just cheap?). I think I'll keep my meager funds, and read a book instead. And if I have a bit extra at the end of the year, I will give it to a charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownbro Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 They may need to think about making changing the dates of this festival into late summer when it doesn't rain as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed_Tx Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 this is Houston, it's going to rain, they need to rent Reliant and do it indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of indoor concerts. Reliant sucks for concerts. You would be limited on stages. No vendor space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Maybe they can do it in Hermann park or Discovery green or Memorial park? Somewhere that it doesn't flood as much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere that it doesn't flood as much? if at Hermann park, it would cause havoc for the Med Ctr. with regards to traffic flow and shutting down roads. they just need to tweak the dates a little bit, maybe even make it a fall festival.
