Pendleton Whisky Music Fest

I watched Post Malone live perform for the very first time. Great experience. Drinks were great. No lines in the restroom which is hard to find in other concerts.

Great Venue. And very well organized. It doesn't really matter who preforms it is always a great show. Folks who have issues, seem like the kind of folks who probably don't love outdoor music festivals.

Well organized, would really liked to have seen a hydration station in the party pit area. Post was amazing!

Went to go see post malone, very good atmosphere, easy routes, good setup, in all, a very good place too see your favorite artists.

Edit: Decided to edit to help anyone who decides to go in the future:
Once you enter you cannot leave, plan around this. We really wanted to see the opening act, but in hindsight we would've skipped it for the overall experience and convenience of not being stuck inside all day from 3pm.

DO NOT GO EARLY: Especially if you're not buying premium or party pit tickets, you'll be stuck outside waiting in line for hours in 90 degree+ heat. You're better off in every way possible showing up as close to the important acts as possible.

DO NOT BUY PREMIUM: Fold out chairs literally zip tied to each other with about a foot of space between isles. Getting in and out is a hazard and a pain in every way. We've all experienced the movie theater type walk of shame to get in and out while people contort their bodies in ways they'd rather not to let you by and doing the same for others, but this took it to another level. You're better off in the bleachers or party pit where you can get close to the stage. You're going to end up standing anyways because others will which forces you too see anything on stage.

Get buzzed ahead of time. There's plenty of bars within walking distance if you don't have a spot in town. As expensive as bars can be, this event puts them to shame. $6 per can/bottle of beer, $8 for a 8oz cup filled with ice and watered down liquor or a warm cup of wine. Get buzzed before you show up or you'll end up spending a small fortune trying to get it while you're there. Very limited selection and over priced.

Eat before you come. None of the food is worth it. We thought maybe some good food truck plates would be available but honestly everything was over priced at about $10 a plate and the word plate is a generous term to use. Very low quality in general and very crowded, very rushed, limited seating (Wooden benches), not fun.

The venue itself is something you must endure to see the artist. Post Malone was incredible, not worth the price we paid for our overall experience but he was incredible. We wish we had went the party pit route, waiting until it was his time to come on stage and spent the rest of the day drinking/eating elsewhere with more comfort and better social environments than overcrowded mayhem with poor quality and service and shady rules and misleading marketing ploys revealed for what they really are. Save yourself the trouble and enjoy some bars /andor restaurants in the mean time.

Very disappointed with the venue overall, Post and Grieves were great. The people who put together everything else need to work on these rules of no re entry and reconsider strongly how that is handled. The only reason we were given was that they didn't want people leaving and getting drunk and coming back and creating issues. Which tells me they intentionally water down the drinks cause they don't want people actually buzzed let alone intoxicated and that they're willing to take peoples money in the shadiest way possible. Get them in the door for extremely high prices, lock them in, then they're stuck with whatever you give them regardless of how poor the quality is and how expensive you made everything.

You'd think for over $600 I would've enjoyed the show but honestly by the time we figured out we couldn't leave, with about 4 hours left until Post Malone came on, we were ready to cut our losses because it was hell to endure literally every other aspect of the venue. The only thing that kept us there was knowing how much we spent ahead of time and not wanting to completely waste it. Knowing we'd never get our money back. Post was great, the crowd was insanely high energy for Post, wouldn't go if they didn't have a star like him for sure and questionable even with someone like him. I'd rather see him at another venue for sure. I'd rather see Grieves on his own tour because they put him on too early. 50 Cent isn't worth seeing live.

Main point: You'll be much more comfortable, spend less for better quality and service around town and better social atmosphere with plenty of people doing the same thing than going in early.

Post Malone was absolutely amazing! Didn’t know he had such a funny personality! He’s a real one for sure! Loved that he was a little tipsy.but was hilariously honest about it! He went out there and was himself.just like any of us! A normal guy! Great night spent! ️

Venue was great - Post Malone is lame. One guy on stage for 2 hours with a soundtrack playing on the stereo is not a concert. Low talent scumbag.
