ROO REVIEW
BONNAROOOOOOO. I fucking LOVE YOU.
There is literally magic at this festival. It’s insane.
Let’s get into it.
Production was really good this year, all the stages had great sound you just need to know where to stand. The Other Stage is my favorite. I love the pillars and the sound is so good. The way that the sets lineup for me personally is so amazing. I was at so many incredible sets this weekend.
The arch is my fucking favorite thing ever. So magical. So beautiful. They have it as an LED screen and it changes colors and stuff. I’m in love with it.
So much to do at Roo, yoga, workshops, different plazas in the campgrounds with different things. They have different vendors spread out throughout Centeroo, they have a water slide which was SO fun!! You can get a pass for the weekend for unlimited times. So fun, highly recommend. They have a small little mushroom with water, it’s like a kid water park. You feel like a kid again! So nice to cool off during the day and the water is so cold. Really great start to your day.
There’s SO many options for food, it’s expensive but it’s so good!! I was in love with this hot dog place, Daddy Dogs lol they had a hot dog with cream cheese, jalapeños, onions, pickles, bacon and a secret sauce. Shit was FIRE. They have a beach too, sand and everything.
They have a JamTrak that can take you to Centeroo and different plazas in case you are a far walk.
Those bike people are riding around too. They cost money though.
They have general stores everywhere, really cool. They have everything you need.
They opened both entrances this year. Thank god. It was nice to go through both.
I had GA+, SO worth it. You have your own lounge and ac bathrooms. Own bar and food, you can see and hear the Other Stage perfectly. Really nice. There’s only one GA + lounge but it was worth it.
The bathrooms were clean though in GA. It was the flushable porta potties.
I like that main stage has an hour between the next sets. After Megan The Stallion we were able to get our shit together before Fred Again. Fire. I know they do this to set up the next artist since they are all on Main Stage bringing a tour like set.
The theft this year was unbelievable. I got lucky and didn’t have to deal with that this time but, Reddit is full of stories. RVs getting broken into. Cars, tents, shit getting stolen from peoples camp sites. It’s disgusting to see. Like that’s suppose to be your house for the weekend. I think it’s the desperation of the country and the state of the world right now. Everyone is just struggling and it’s just so sad to see. This was never a thing going to festivals till last year. I never had to worry about my campsite??? So weird. Someone even stole someone’s van? What the fuck?
They didn’t do the high five swirl into the entrance this year, which I was super disappointed about!!
Everyone was talking about how the crowd wasn’t as friendly as previous years. I had a lot of great interactions with people and some not so great. I think overall the rave scene is changing a lot. I think COVID really fucked social interaction up. People are so unaware of their surroundings it’s crazy.
Where In The Woods was dope asf but, the last night it “reached capacity”. So we didn’t get to see Alison Wonderland. So lame. We went to House Of Yes and that was fire too. A giant ass house party.
The heat was pretty shitty but not as bad as FK. It was draining as fuck. Impossible to sleep. I took my shit to the big ass fans they have in the campgrounds and laid there and passed out.
Showers were $10, the water pressure was actually good this year.
There was a lot of fans and cool down areas for people to hang out in.
Medics were on it. Very professional, definitely made it happen for people who needed help.
Let’s talk about security tho. Cops were fine, walking around doing their job. The fucking staff security however, sketchy asf. The people checking cars when you pulled in were stealing shit and making people give them money to get it back. What the fuck? Never seen this before ever. People made a big deal obviously and some of them got arrested. Always watch them search your stuff! Even when you are going into the fest. Shit is ridiculous. People were posing as janitors and going around stealing in the campgrounds. Just fucking so annoying.
The wristband material is so nice. Super soft! They give you a bunch of trinkets with it. Super cute.
The energy here is super magical. Really really incredible. I mean you can feel the happiness in the air and it’s just so beautiful how you can experience this festival. The Gemini energy is wild, you feel very this way but that way lol.
The stage names are always so fun, This Tent, That Tent, What Stage, Which Stage, The Other Stage LOL so funny.
They had a bunch of sponsors there you could interact with. Take a shot of jack, some Josh cellars wine lol. There is a lot to do there.
They have a church at Roo, you can actually get married on the farm!!
Also the water fountain mushroom!!! I love it!! The cold water really wakes you up, it’s incredible.
The vendors are all spread around centeroo, I like this because you can go around and shop all over!
They had a TON of food options. They were really good too, of course expensive. I really enjoyed Daddy Dogs lol. They had this fire ass hot dog with onions, pickles, jalapeños, cream cheese, and bacon lol. Great hangover food.
All in all, Roo has changed a lot for people that have been going for 10+ years, that’s bound to happen. This was my second Roo and I still felt the magic on the farm. So much happened to me that aligned with my life and I was able to really have a releasing weekend. I don’t just go to these festivals to have a good time, I go to heal and listen to the signs the universe gives to me. Pop over to my vlogs to see the full experience!
My next festival is Elements! Let’s get it!
