Maybe Countrygurl can give a better answer on this, but last year I was front row behind VIP on the main stage, and don't recall any of the VIP section being tented. There may have been a small tarp but as the sun progressed over the sky, all areas were unshaded...

The only shade I recall were over the smaller stages and in the beer gardens.

I have sun issues also, this is why I camp- so i can go back to my trailer inbetween acts.

There isn't tenting over the seating area in front of the main stage.

I'd do general admission & head for the shade tents. They are far from the stages, but generally you can hear the music.

Get a very large cowboy hat...;) :D

But seriously, there was no shade at either of the two largest stages. Although standing in the beer garden (those had shade) closest to each stage, you had a decent view, far, but not bad. I was surprised anyway.

thanks for the info, she was happy about the purchase.. can't wait to see Tim

The good thing is if your main objective is to see Tim, he will be a headliner so more than likely he will be the last show of the night....no sun!!!

Looks like I'll be wearing a straw hat and plenty of sunscreen. Do they provide misters like they do in Vegas?

[Glockgirl]

I don't recall seeing any misters. If I remember correctly last year, it wasn't as hot as we thought it would be. I noticed though everyone started off in cowboy boots & jeans yet by the end of Sunday were sporten shorts & flip flops... :cool:

[BlkTib]

Yeah they had misters last year- they were by those wierd looking cloth canopy shaded areas. We used them last year. A lot of fun.

[KuntryGal]

OH YEAH - THOSE MISTERS WERE FUN LAST YEAR! I Spent a lot of time in their area...it was hot...but not as hot as July or August when it gets to 100+.

There are shade tents in general admission - that is where we put our chairs and they weren't right up close and personal but were still decent...

Have fun!
