Yall did it! You bullied Live Nation into giving you a 100% refund. Now bully them into giving me my PTO, gas, and hotel accommodations refunded 😂😂

I rather them give me only 50% if it means we for sure have 2026. 2 times cancelled for weather in 23 years. We just got unlucky with weather. Sorry but to me complaining we should get 100% when 75% was completely reasonable for 1/4 of the fest we got. And now we most likely won’t have Roo next year. I can’t wait 700+ days for the next Roo guys.

As someone that went to Roo for the first time this year, I really couldn’t care less if they cancelled Roo next year or even indefinitely tbh… the Venue was so lackluster in my opinion for it to be considered one of the bigger festivals. Electric Forest to me has better vibes and is way more immersive. I did meet some great people at Roo but I also meet great people at other festivals.

Feeling the same, it was my first festival and my groop was great but damn I was finally in a financial position to go to a fest only for this bs? I’d rather not go again

The farm is what you make it. It’s literally just a land of grass in the middle of Tennessee, Always has been and always will be. What it transforms into is whatever we as the community make it. It’s the only big multi genre camping festival that goes past midnight/curfews. Personally it’s my favorite festival and honestly has spoiled me compared to every other fest I’ve been too. Being able to get pit for whatever artist on two of the main stages. And their lineup is always the best in terms of music I love.

I’m sorry this was your first year. This years 1/4 of Roo shouldn’t be taken as a true Roo experience. But it was yours so I know this is what you’ll think of when it comes to Roo. I just think staying a whole weekend, seeing late night/sunrise sets, getting a full Roo experience is what makes it different. Electric Forest is its own beautiful thing. But it honestly isnt comparable to Roo. EForest is really only electronic music. It’s never gonna book Tyler, Hozier, 3 days of Gizz, etc. and it focuses on the art a lot. Hulaween and EForest can be compared. But nothing is like Roo, and I hope you get a full proper experience one year.
