I enjoyed the Orlando Calling Event, however some of the stages could have had something differently set up with their speaker systems. One stage flowed into another. And there could have been a few more bar areas open to the general audience.

I was at the festival on the first day. I stayed at the main stage throughout the day as I waited for The Killers to take the stage when they closed out the night. Little did I know how much I would enjoy the rest of the acts that preceeded The Killers.
I missed The Ettes set, but Gogol Bordello were an atomic bomb on stage. Powerful, eclectic punk sounds and attitude that got the crowd fired up on that warm day. To mix things up, Kid Cudi took the stage next. His set was energetic and full of dancy beats that one can groove to. It was unexpectedly amazing. To continue with the suprising line-up, The Avett Brothers took the stage. Their folky, guitar sound was shockingly danceable. The vocals and energy they put into their set was infectious and soon the whole crowd was dancing along. Next up were the indie rock pioneers, The Pixies. They wowed the crowd as they played the whole of "Doolittle" in track order. They easily competed with any of the other, younger bands on stage that day. Truly unforgettable performance. Now, this is where I hit a snag. The Raconteurs' set was boring and too long. It didn't seem to fit with the rest of the acts that day.The energy and good time vibe just wasn't there for me. But all of that didn't matter much as the crowd buzzed with excitement knowing that The Killers were about to take the stage. Walking on with an epic sounding soundtrack, the four wandering souls from Las Vegas started the crowd dancing by kicking their set off with 'Spaceman'. The energy continued to build throughout their whole set as they ripped through hit after hit. By the time 'All These Things That I've Done' came around, the crowd was in a complete state of euphoria as cannons of never-ending confetti showered ove the whole crowd. They left the stage and the audience had yet to fully recover when they came back on for a heart pounding encore that ended with the anthemic "When You Were Young". Sparks were literally flying as The Killers closed out an unquestionably blissful night.

We could only afford to go one day so we chose Sunday - Legendary JC's, Thomas Wynn and the Believers abd Blake Shelton ALL IN ONE PLACE?! Yes, please!! There were so many vendors with fantastic wares to sell, the staff was friendly, and the music was everything I had hoped for and more! This will absolutely be a yearly event for us!

We sure a glad to have seen that this concert would take place as we were on vacation in Florida. You betcha, it was excellent. Dwight & co, Kid Rock, Bob Seger, Chris Isaak, and all the rest (at least those on Sunday).

We hope that this event will continue and we'll have to take a vacation to Orlando once a year- OUCH, hurt me- lol

The Raconteurs killed it! Other bands were surprisingly good especially those not featured on the main stage. The pixies were probably my second favorite. The food and "official" merch was way WAY over priced but I guess that is to be expected. $12 for a sandwich.

It was a new event. They have some kinks to work out, but all in all, it was a decent line up and an interesting use of the grounds. Curious to see what they come up with next year.

Sunday was a better day than Saturday - enjoyed more of the side acts and was blown away by the music quality and ability to get up close to Los Lonely Boys and Buddy Guy. Was able to get as close as I wanted to be for both Kid Rock and Bob Seger without much hassle - we had VIP field seats.

Overall event was great, recommend changing VIP offer next year into two options. One that provides the VIP tents and alcohol benefit and one that provides for guaranteed hassle free up front seating. I value hassle free seating more than the free alcohol.

What a wonderful festival -- I was surprised that attendance wasn't higher. I LOVE Buddy Guy, Los Lonely Boys were incredible, and the Doobies and Seger are still rockin' !
My only complaint was that Kid Rock was WAY too loud - even with my special ear plugs, he gave me a headache with the bass drum line - there's gonna be a lotta deaf people in 25 years or so!!

The acts I wanted to see most was on the first day (Saturday) Parachute, Civil Twilight, Gavin DeGraw, OAR, Iron & Wine, The Raconteurs, and aboveall The Killers!! I thought this venue had a great line-up of acts to choose from, definitely something for everyone! I ended up not getting to see Gavin DeGraw because my friend really wanted to see Avett Brothers, and I was able to be exposed to diffrent kinds of music groups that I was not familiar with (Kid Cudi and The Pixies). Some of the shows we didn't get to see in it's entirety because we wanted to get to the next act's stage so we could get a good standing spot. Overall, I thought the music festival had a laid-back atmosphere. At some of the stages, people put their blankets on the lawn and laid down to relax, sit back and enjoy the show. The weather was pefect by the way, blue skies, not too hot and not too cold. I loved that there were Camel Back stations throughout the park (free water), which I found very complimetentary, especially when beer was $8 and soda was over-priced. The food was also priced high, but that's to be expected at events like this. Another thing that could have been better was clearere identification of stage names. My friend and I walked by the "Authentic Stage" 2 or 3 diferent times at the beginning of the day because we thought it was a different stage. We asked some of the staff and they didn't seem to be sure either of the stage names :/

The show was very well put together. I went Saturday and loves Pete Yorn... Last minutes to the schedule were not reflected in the application... it should had been so I could had seen Pete Yorn at 2:00 and then been able to see Gavin De Graw at 5:00 Pm... This would help for next year.
There was too much time between The Roots/Raccounteurs and the Killers.... 45 minutes...

Let's start with the disappointment: having three key sponsors with limited beverage offerings. This limitation was not explained in detail prior to purchasing the VIP package. Also, the food choices were limited (and not very healthy choices). And lastly, having to purchase a costly lanyard to have a map of the venue, as well as $35 t-shirts, were an additional disappointment to say the least.

Now for the greatness: the two-day music line-up was diverse as well as most enjoyable! There was a show for every music lover .... including us! Although we were saddened that "The Blues Travelers" did not make the event as scheduled, we truly enjoyed the other performers.

Reserved parking was great - very easy access getting in.
The sets were VERY short.
Robert Randolph Family Band let me down big time - they didn't play any of their hit songs.
Charging $10 for the map/schedule was outrageous!!!!
Leaving at 6:30 on Sunday, even though we had reserved parking up close we were forced to walk around the longest way possible to get back to our car, That really pissed me off.
