The Peach Music Festival - Scranton, PA

[CMPMGCTRCKS]

Haven't seen anyone talking about this. Not a super intense lineup, but for $99, you get to see some amazing musicians, and hang out at a water-park all weekend!

As a huge Office fan, I would love an excuse to make a pilgrimage to Scranton, but that lineup does nothing for me.

I really would like to go to this.

Yeah, it looks really good.

A tip to everyone: Montage Mountain is the worst place to see a music festival. It is also a ski resort so just imagine having to walk across giant hills to get to every stage. I saw a handful of Warped Tours there when I was like 12-14 and the two main stages were on opposite sides of the mtn so you have to literally walk up a mountain to get from one stage to the next.

Extra trip: don't let the office fool you, Scranton is the worst

Opposite sides of the mountain? That's just absurd, I can't even visualize that. But this does look cheap, close and totally up my alley.

EDIT. And not piggy backed on another fest. August is a free month.

Well that's just how it was set up when I went last which was in 2007, and even then my band played a small stage at the festival so I didnt really get to see many bands, but I'm pretty sure they had the same setup. The resort came under new ownership but I think the same people still handle the pavilion where the music is, and no matter what its always gonna be on a mountain, so their choices are limited.

I would still see a fest there if the lineup was good enough, it's literally right up the street from the movie theatre I work at when I'm home, but this lineup doesn't do it for me. Allmans are great and Warren Haynes is always a good time but other than that, this fest just isn't worth it for me.

[bonzai]

Allman, ZBB, Warren Haynes, Toubab, Railroad Earth is a decent pull for me for a close, cheap fest. If only if this in Bridgeport instead of Vibes.

i can't wait for this fest. zac brown band isn't my cup of tea but there is plenty of other bands there to make it a good fest. also i'm a mt. jam vet so i have no problem camping on a hill.

as long as i don't land on the west coast for my next contract ill be here... home is about an hour south so its an easy trip. i haven't been to a festival here but i've seen a ton of shows... is it really that hard to navigate the mountain top??? i wouldn't call it old all good hard ... parking is a pain but at least they run a bus. patience and a little karma go a long way, i love this venue

[bonzai]

I forgot about this. Now I have OSL as a strong possibility for that weekend. If for some reason that doesn't pan out and this is still available...

Holy quack! This is awesome! This is definitely going on my watch list, gonna have some big decisions on what july/august fests to go to when I get home from roo.

[ncbst3]

I dont have an August festival yet...this may be it

If you live in the NE, I highly recommend going to this.

These will likely be some of the last Allman Brothers shows (before it turns into Allman Family Band). Gregg was falling apart at Wanee and he may be on the way out. He might not even make it till August.
