Bourbon and Beyond or Louder Than Life

[Glenn's Take]

It's not even close for me. I can appreciate some metal but I was always more of a Pink Floyd fan versus Black Sabbath (no offense to Ozzy).

I must be really getting old. Of all the acts performing in B&B I'd want to see maybe 4 or 5 of them. In LTH, no one.

B&B 2024 artist list was one of the best festival lineups I've seen. Unfortunately this year's is not anywhere comparable

My old *** would be with the B&B list.

I might literally be the only person on this board that would prefer Louder than Life!

Agree. There were several shows on the backstages i hated to miss, but it was a seriously stacked line up. Never saw anything that quality for any music festival.

It was bound to take a step back this year. It still has some impressive acts, but last year was just insane.

You're not alone!

As for B&B, I'd like to see 1, MAYBE 2 or 3 tops. Doesn't help that i have not even heard of probably >85% of them.

LTL, while i haven't heard of several of them, I counted at least 20 for sure I would see and several others that i'd see if I was there when they were playing. A few of those 20 have been on the card for some of my all-time favorite concerts and one is in my top 3 all-time favorite bands.
