looking for fests like the old peach?

i dont really have much faith in peach returning to the way it used to be.

i loved peach, until live nation.

I’m just wondering if anybody else knows about any festivals on the East Coast that are similar to the peach. Affordable, about a week long and live blues shit on stage :) thx

Love nation sucks!

Why wouldn't you have it one day at montage is beyond me. Way better venue overall then the one in Atlantic City. Multiple stages could of supported a lot more bands... Water park that's A LOT less money for a day pass through the water park normally meaning ticket prices could bring you more profit. They're just spiteful and stupid.

I'd do anything to boycott this company entirely maybe more organic grassroots venues and artists collaborating closey with the venue owners to make the best experience for everyone involved including fans and vendors. We can do this, we just need to work together and actually help fund it with our communities support.

Missed Peach Connection??

I think it’s so cheesy when I read these sort of things like “I saw you at the wawa on 322, we locked eyes and said hello. Call me” 🤣 But here goes nothing!

I was dancing like an idiot behind the VIP area during JRAD..totally thought I was a dancing bear, had berthas dancing in my brain, absolutely bolted lol, was in deep. I thought you were a dancing fairy that got summoned in front of me, totally a girl I would do this every weekend with. We danced together awfully close. There was a major connection. I thought you walked away..you wandered then came back to keep dancing with me! Our eyes locked when I saw you spin, you smiled. Then I moved and thought about how nice that was, but you somehow found me and said it was nice dancing with me! I was an idiot who didn’t get the hint and didn’t ask for your number

You made a lonely guys night

I was wearing a blue peach ‘21 shirt

I’d give anything to dance with you again, that was magical ❤️ 😭

Thunderstorm Plans

I know their site says rain or shine, but thunderstorms are predicted for Saturday (along with heavy rain). As there have been some recent deaths on NJ beaches due to lightning, do they have any policy in place? I'm not standing on a beach, or putting myself in a waterpark, if there's lightning. I am suspecting they wouldn't call it until we are already there, with the lightning lol. Just curious if anyone reached out and asked.

Pre-party + late nights announced

Seperate tickets needed for pre party (Disco Biscuits), seperate tickets needed for late nights (Benevento and friends).

So you’re paying a fee three times for each person if you want to attend all events at “Peach at the Beach”.

They could have included these announcements from the start and have attendees buy all three at once, but Live Nation and Ticketmaster continue to nickel and dime everyone every chance they get. It’s a shame that this is what Peach has become.

Is there any way to know if tickets will become transferable?

I accidentally bought the wrong GA and am wondering if nothing else I could give it away at some point? I'll be patient but I may end up having to just let somebody come in while I'm there that day.

Would Peach be better off taking the year off?

For the sake of the future of the festival.. If Peach on the Beach isn't successful, couldn't it tank the fest?...

I would love to make it to this but the more I plan for it the less value I'm finding.. The cost of staying two nights in AC is insane, the 1 day ticket price is more than the 4 day fest was, the water park is indoors while the stage is outdoors, and pre- and after-parties will cost extra..

Peach website is back up and running

Wonder if that's a sign it's not over forever? Maybe they are just taking a year off?

Got bored. Called Montage.

Originally, July 11-14 was the plan. Still is, but sounds like all silent from Live Nation. Everyone is hoping for the word so they can plan.

Sounds like we aren’t the only ones getting antsy.

Edit: apologies, I don’t mean for this to dangle hope in front of anyone. I’ve been to every Peach since 2016 and it’s my only festival of every year. I hope for 2024 as much as anyone. I also recognize my hopes are up, probably too high. But in lieu of LiveNation, who has given us a bunch of good times on the mountain, giving us an update, here is the closest you’ll get for now.

Montage officially took Peach off of their festival menu

Peach is no longer listed under the festival tab on Montage Mountain's website. It was just there 2 days ago. I'm taking that as the festival is done. So sad 😞

Why no announcement??

At this point I understand that it's not happening, I just don't get why they can't give an official announcement? It takes 2 seconds to make a post saying " hey, sorry but 2024 is a no go." That's all I really want lol. Like just rip the bandaid off already.

What other fests are you looking at?

If I don't see something soon from Peach I'll probably buy a ticket to another festival. I only get to do one a year, and would likely sell my ticket to somewhere else and go to Peach, but I don't want to miss out on "early bird" or "phase 1 tickets" somewhere else.

I might go to Secret Dreams since I like jam and electronica (always wished Peach and Camp could join together), but what other mid-Atlantic festivals would scratch your Peach itch should it be dead?

Date announcement?

Why is Peach always the last fest to announce the dates? So many other fests that are later in the summer have already announced. Im assuming it'll be 4th of July weekend again but ya never know.

Lost colorful wizard hat

Heya! Saturday at Peach I lost my funky multi color wizard hat with red triangles around the rim. I've had it as a festival hat for several years and would absolutely love it if it showed up. Anyone find it!?!? Reward if found.
