I know there is a general thread going for all artists, but who do we think the 3 headliners will be next year?

At a festival that preaches “eat the rich”, I’m hoping that one of the brick n’ mortar spots is not invited back to future KBPs/ removed from venue. Totally spacing on the name, but it was located NEXT to Leatherbees (it’s NOT Leatherbees)- it was connected to have access to the VIP area for the Kilby Stage and GA.

Friday- his price for chicken fingers & fries combo was posted on the menu board at $14. When the line started to get longer & the more people ordered chicken tenders, the owner came out and changed the price (magnetic menu board) to $15 for tenders and the burgers. He did this in front of the line of people waiting to order since items were in demand. We got our tenders in at $14 and they tasted like dog food, McDonald’s tenders were a better quality.

Saturday- we walked by the booth & saw the magnetic menu board had increased all their prices by $1 from Friday. The owner was outside, so I asked, “hey weren’t the tenders $14 yesterday?” He looked at me like a deer in the headlights and said, “yes and for you today they can be since you noticed.” He claimed that all their strawberry lemonades were buy-one-get-one-free, but no menus or signs indicated that to be true.

Sunday- the dude changed the prices to HIGHER for the menu items in demand!!!! $16 for tenders & burgers. The price gouging here for another dollar or two is fucking ridiculous and doing it for food qualities as bad as it was is criminal.

I couldn’t find name of the spot, but did find the vendors for the state fair at the venue are not allowed to change menu or price or they’re fined lol not sure if applicable to KBP.

Do better

Booklets with the schedule and map at the entry gate in the future would be cool. I like not having to be on my phone if I don't have to.

my favorite show of the weekend. i only knew one song and every single one they played i have added to my playlists. they were such good performers and not to mention SO HOT.

My favorite set of KBP, was so stoked to see them and was wondering who else caught them. I also wanted to get people's thoughts on the intro and digital visuals.

Removed the spoiler tag because it sounds like they haven't done this intro (which is explained below) at other shows, but I'm not sure if they will do it again in the future. So, I guess don't read ahead if you don't want a spoiler for a future show, but also this may have been a one-time thing for Kilby; who knows.

A gentleman walked out before the band came on in a bright green Lucky Charms t-shirt, with a very eerie guitar loop playing in the background. On the screen behind him was a video loop of the band members on a Zoom call--which looked distorted and felt unsettling--under a caption that said something about an "experiment." The guy said he was from Detroit (which the crowd extolled), asked if we liked his Lucky Charms shirt (which got even more of a reaction), and then told us to take out our phones and follow Dry Cleaning on all social media (which I think was mostly met with groans from the crowd). Once he made the social media request, it became obvious to me that the whole intro was a bit (and a really unsettling one at that). It's not like I could have followed them anyway, as I don't have social media (other than this, I guess) so I did nothing. Then the band came out, and was smiling and laughing with the guy who had just introduced them as he walked backstage. Then the guitar loop continued right into 'Sliced by a Fingernail,' and the visual on screen changed to a chopped up and looped video of Florence cutting up and snorting a substance off of a table. It was hard to tell if she was actually snorting up something like coke at all, as they didn't actually show the thing she was "snorting." It all felt extremely surreal and off-putting, and was clearly meant to be a commentary on social media. The rest of the visuals after this song appeared to be iphone footage of random things on a loop, like slowed-down footage of a guy driving a forklift off screen.

They had so much energy live and the band was incredibly tight, some mind blowing guitar riffs/solos and drum fills. Plus Florence's vocals sounded great, which I wasn't sure how they were going to pull off going into the set.

Anyone else find the intro/set to be incredibly eerie but beautiful? I'm wondering if they have been doing that intro at their other shows. We had an extremely pleasant and gentle but energetic mosh up front with the people around us.

My other fav performances included YHWH Nailgun, american football, Gelli Haha, Alex G, Chanel Beads, but all the bands were amazing and highly anticipated!

Definitely caught a bug at the fest! I’m so congested today it feels like my head is gonna explode, and my nose is dripping like a faucet. Whoever did this to me: count your days! I will find you.

everyone please fill out the survey !! and if you had a bad experience with public transportation make sure you make a note of it!! there are multiple sections where you can address it. thank you!
