Been out 10 yr. What have I missed? What's new on the farm?

[Laggy.RETURNS]

I haven't been to Bonnaroo since 2014. I'm coming back this year, bringing my little brother to his first festival ever, and meeting up with some friends.
I'm sure there have been a lot of changes in the past decade. Some I'm aware of, others probably not.
What's changed?

[postjack]

-no comedy tent
-no cinema tent
-no more amish doughnuts
-but we have screens on tents! we didn't last year but apparently they will be back this year
-the other is a stage now, exclusively for EDM. last year the sound was immaculate, seriously, some of the best sound i've heard at a stage. the screens and lasers and what not are cool, nowhere near the level of the big EDM fests but nothing to scoff at either. the other schedules acts until sunrise.
-the VIP tent is near That Tent now. this was new last year it could move again this year.
-you probably know this already if you've bought tickets, but camping is sold separately now. as a result the camping area formerly known as VIP, now known as Moon Colony, isn't blocked off like it used to be, so anybody can walk through it. which is helpful if you are trying to get to
-new stage, Where in the Woods. a stage in the woods with mostly smaller DJs and stuff on it. people love it.

so there are definitely some changes, but i think the biggest shock to you will be how familiar everything feels.

Shorter sets, longer breaks in between acts

I know this is a running joke on here, but when I went in 2012 there were a shit ton of bees on the right side of the What pit while we waited there all day

Amish Donuts became peachey's donuts and they would vend lots of festivals. I had them several times since 2014 at Hulaween and/or Okeechobee music festivals. I think they stopped vending festivals entirely, though. They were the greatest

Plazas = Pods
Centeroo has permanent bathrooms with running water and they stay pretty clean
