Louder Than Life

I absolutely love this event! This was my second year of attendance and I must say I do think they stepped up their game from last year. There were more port-​a-​pots scattered around (still a hike to get to the main bunch though), more food booths (oh so many), I do believe beer was a bit cheaper, they added an extra stage, and they had WWE Wrestling this year!
The main topic… the food. Lol! Oh my goodness. I swear there were double the booths and food trucks this go-​round. On day one I had bacon mac-​n-​cheese, a bite of a corn dog, a bite of a bacon corn fritter, and a deep fried oreo with bacon. Bacon was the theme in several places. I wasn’t complaining. Everything I ate on day one was delicious! Yeah the food was pricey, but you gotta eat! On day two I had some pulled pork nachos smothered in beans, nacho cheese, pork, sweet bbq sauce and a dollop of sour cream. Those were AWESOME! I don’t remember the name of the business but they were the one with the big roasting pig in the front. I also tried the chicken on a stick and the Island Noodles with chicken. Wow!!! Both so good. I think it’s great there were so many different food options, and all the options were yummy.
From what I read there were 50,000 people who attended this year. They also adjusted the sound so it didn’t disturb the neighbors (they had a bunch of complaints last year). Even though they did tweak a few things it still seemed just as loud to me! It’s gotta be. It’s Louder Than Life!!!
Can’t wait for next year! See ya in 2016 LTL!

Missed a couple of bands we wanted to see the second day, but over all it was an awesome time… I was disappointed that they were out of the louder than life hoodies both days. I am looking forward to next year.

We bought VIP tickets about 2 months before the show and I will say it was worth it to have the VIP-​BUT-​I hope next year they plan the VIP section a little better. There were not enough chairs/​tables or porta potties. And when they did get more porta potties none of them had toilet paper, paper towels and hand sanitizer. ICK-​bring your own Kleenex and hand sanitizer if you decide to go next year.
The place was crazy busy and MOST of the bands were great. Kid Rock sucked-​he is too commercialized (this coming from a native Michigander)
5 Finger Death Punch, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Papa Roach, A Day to Remember, POD all crushed it! They put on great shows.
I would not bring kids EVER! There were a lot of mosh pits and people crowd surfing-​too dangerous for anyone under the age of 16.
Food options were great-​I knew most of the local food trucks so I knew I had gluten free options.
LTL said they would have a gluten free area, which we could not find and when I tweeted them they finally got back to me and said some of the vendors offer it.
No gluten free alcohol so they lost a lot of money on that end.
Next year get Apocalypse to be one of your beer vendors.
We would go again but I hope the people who put this event on learned from this year’s event for the VIP.

Great weekend! Lots of bands. Food beverages and merchandise. Special thanks to louisville Unilocal elite for making it happen for me :) can’t wait for next year!!!
