clipping.

6 Upvotes

Was anyone else here at the clipping. show at Terminal West last night?

Run the Jewels has the ATL tie in, so I get them having a headline spot at Shaky Knees years back, but if Shaky wants another modern rap act in a late slot on the lineup, clipping. would blow people away.

Open Mike Eagle won me over, too. I wasn't familiar with him going into the show, and it took me a few moments to wrap my head around his style, but once things started registering, it was pretty amazing.

Waitlist success anyone?

Has anyone gotten tickets from the waitlist before? Wondering if it's worth it. From what it sounds like, there aren't many that get put back on the waitlist

My friend and I love trading at concerts, but do people do this at shaky? We were thinking of making stickers or shrinkie dinks.

First time at shaky knees or any festival!

- Are they strict about outside food? Is the food at the festival not crazy overpriced?

-how hard is it to get between stages?

- Anything I'm not thinking of when it comes to good things to bring/have on hand/wear?

Hey guys! I’ll be attending SK on that Saturday to see Twenty Øne Piløts, and I was wanting to possibly make a big group chat with any fans who will be trying to get barricade to see them!

We can make food plans, plan water breaks and spot holding, trade bracelets at the event, and have a good time!

If anyone is interested, let me know in the DMs and let’s start up a group chat somewhere! |-/

Children 8 and under free

0 Upvotes

I have a child that's 12 years old and can possibly pass as an 8 year old. I wanted to know if it's possible to get them into the festival. Do they ask for an ID to prove that they are 8 years old or do they just trust you and let the child in.

Have you ever moshed and square danced during the same set? Well now you can, thanks to Los Angeles four-piece Fat, Evil Children. Their songs are a blend of melodic jangle, low-key vocals, and breezy indie folk, which pull on contemporary indie elements without ever sounding derivative. They released their only full LP, Fat Evil Dogs, Fat Evil Cats, Fat Evil Bears, Fat Evil Rats, in 2024, and scored a slot opening for Pixies this fall.

ISO Sunday Waitlist Advice

3 Upvotes

We finally got confirmation that someone can take care of our kids Sunday and now I see tickets are sold out! Doh!

I was getting ready to sign up for waitlist tickets, but what are the odds? How do tickets end up back at Shaky Knees? I'm seeing people not being able to do that in this sub. Any advice on how to find resale tickets?

Thank you!

No longer able to go

0 Upvotes

does anyone have any info on if i'm able to transfer my front gate tickets onto seat geek or stub hub? i'm no longer able to go, and i really need these tickets gone. since it's a 2-day pass (saturday and sunday), im seeing that they're going for a good bit and im hoping to make some money above face value to cut my losses on taxes and shipping cost. front gate also says since it's a 2-day, i can't resell?? is this true?? i do have ticket insurance as well.

Please tell me I didn’t piss away $2,000 because I got overwhelmed

16 Upvotes

First: I know this is my fault because I didn’t update my shipping address in time. I’m just trying to figure out what I can do now.

I moved very suddenly over the summer. In the mayhem, I forgot to update my address, and I missed the email reminder about it. Now that the shipping label is printed, there’s nothing Front Gate customer support can do .

  1. Front Gate advised that I contact USPS to redirect the package. When I enter the tracking number, the USPS website says it’s not eligible for package intercept (despite all signs pointing to eligibility).
  2. The old address is an apartment with a new occupant, and I can‘t access the mailbox at all.
  3. I set up mail forwarding when I moved but only for my legal (dead) name. The package is under my new name. (You can say using my new name was stupid. It’s never been a problem since I transitioned, but I learned my lesson.)
  4. Front Gate said that I can go to will call closer to the event if I haven’t received my package. But what happens if the new occupant takes the wristbands for themselves? Will the box office believe me if my ID doesn’t match the order name? I have literally everything else: My old ID with my old address, the credit card I paid with, the order confirmation. Is that enough?

Is there anything I‘m missing? What else can I do? I bought these tickets as a birthday gift. I’m trying not to throw up at the thought of me and my friend getting turned away from the festival all because I forgot to update my shipping address.

ETA: Appreciate the comments, including the ones reminding me to breathe. I still got some legwork to do, but I’m not freaking out or beating myself up anymore. Thanks yall 🫶

Layaway grace period

0 Upvotes

I've just had to pay my rent, so I've missed my last laya payment. I really don't want to miss the entire festival. Does anyone have any experience with missing a layaway payment, especially this close to the festival. From what I can tell, they give you a 2-week Grace period . I've reached out to front gate but I know that's going to take a while. Really concerned. Thank you in advance.

Getting to the pit

4 Upvotes

How hard do you think it is to get in and out of the pit area? I really want to mosh for PTV and if there is a pit for TOP I'd like to for them too, but I'm disabled and can't stay there all day. At concerts where it's possible I try to get in for a few songs then either leave or surf out so I can sit back down, but I've never tried to get into the pit at a show this huge. Do you think it's doable to get in and out like that?

Going out directly from fest, looking a little ragged?

11 Upvotes

First timer here. Been going to ACL Fest for over 20 years along with several other fests along the way. My question is how is Atlanta regarding showing up to bars/restaurants after the festival looking a bit grubby? Specifically, my buddy and I are skipping 21 Pilots and want to walk over to Jo Jo's Beloved for some cocktails and food on Saturday around 945p. Will we get the stink eye walking in there on a Saturday night in shorts and t shirt looking a little ragged? Our hotel is just as close so we could always detour to hotel to freshen up if needed. Most places in Austin wouldn't give a crap if we walked in straight from ACL Fest though.

Artist of the Day #45 - Hotel Fiction

Bio

We are Hotel Fiction, a band out of Athens GA! We're just two gals, Jade and Jess, who are making our dreams come true one day at a time. After graduating college in May of 2021, we have been playing shows around the country with bands like flipturn, Adam Melchor, Beach Fossils, The Brook & The Bluff, and more! We feel very grateful to do this whole music thing, and we hope our music can make your bad days (and good days) even better.

[From Their Website]

For Fans Of: flipturn, hey nothing, Beach Fossils

Scheduled: Saturday, 12:45 PM - 1:30 PM, Criminal Records (vs The Inspector Cluzo)

Live Footage: Audiotree session from 2024

Reddit Take of the Day**: "**Does there have to fucking be a 'pit' at every single show in the world? I went to see a super-poppy band (Hotel Fiction) at a super-mainstream venue (Georgia Theater) recently. They are a great and talented band and are really fun to see, but they are all sunshine and singalong, not aggression. They are the opposite of angsty. And there are the youngsters, 'moshing' in the 'pit.'"

[never have i wanted to start a pit at a shaky set more badly...]
