Anyone have any knowledge if obh 2025 is happening? Or any inkling?
I'm seriously doubting it at this point. If the timing was the same, that's less than 10 months from now, and with no announcements, I wouldn't expect it unless it was a December OBH.
MMJ pickings are getting slim and slimmer. I just hope we're not seeing another extended hiatus coming up... We're definitely going to miss our recent Chicago fall 3-night run series that apparently isn't happening this year. And of course NYE shows are a distant memory. Where do we go from here?
I am hoping this year with somewhat limited shows and co-headlining shows is their hiatus/cool down year and next year there is a full blown tour for a new album and the 20th anniversary of Z. They seem rejuvenated so I don't think a real hiatus is anywhere in the near future. What do I know though...
Agreed. 2022 and 2023 were full touring years and this year is mostly fests and a few things sprinkled in.
Virtually no chance of OBH next year, in fact no Cloud9 events in Mexico in 2025 as far as I can tell.
I hear "something else" is in the works. I'm hoping for a multi night in Iceland or something like that.

Iceland is on the bucket list so sign me up! Europeans would love that too... :thumbsup:

New Year's Eve gigs in Denver again and I'm there.
News Year's Eve in New Orleans??? Be even more insane.
No real specifics on what the 'something else' is.
Something was posted today on the social medias, along with the 2024 OBH video and photo recaps:
"Without a past there is no future. Let's take a trip down One Big Holiday memories past, and maybe, just maybe, a bright, new future will reveal itself."
Hmmm
Should we expect obh 2025 now or is the 'something else' still in the worlds. Would love if someone had details or rumors

I think people are really over reading the video. I think it's "something else". Personally hoping for Iceland next spring or summer.

I've heard the Iceland thing before. I just don't see how OBH works in that climate.
Where in the world did this Iceland rumor start?
Iceland would be dope but I can not imagine a multiple night run therewould be profitable.

Wilco did a residency there in April 2023. I'm guessing it's based on that.

Reasonably sure I'm responsible for all the Iceland talk. I'm trying to manifest a return. I did the Wilco thing there and it was outstanding. Would be super fun!!
Big announcement coming Thursday morning, per their social medias.
I'd love obh next year but have my hopes up for Iceland now.
It's happening :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

This is true, and also lots of other bands have done the Iceland thing recently. Mostly on the jam band spectrum, umphrey's McGee, disco biscuits, some others. It's definitely "a thing".
so if it is in 2025, it's going to be later in the year don't you think? Waited longer to announce than normal.
I'm selfishly hoping for 2026 though since they waited so long to announce. already planned some other trips for 2025
Hoping for April still, whatever it winds up being.
I did some looking and see where Wilco played in 2023 (Eldborg Hall) and it looks amazing, but apparently it only holds 1800 which seems pretty small. It's going to be interesting to see what happens tomorrow!
Well, so much for Iceland fantasies... Maybe next year!
I'm not sure how i feel about it, looking at pictures of the stage/venue and seeing giant condos in the background just doesn't have the same appeal.
Plus although it's cheaper to stay and see the music, the food and booze price is gonna be HIGH
Easy to pass on this one.
We used to do a spring break bicycle ride in college in the Florida Panhandle so I've ridden through Miramar Beach several times. The beaches in the area are nice but they will be busy, especially this time of the year. Travel is certainly easier and less expensive than going out of the country, and packages are definitely a good deal so that will help. But of course the timing doesn't match our spring break and like MMJTX said the appeal just isn't where it needs to be to fight for the time off. Sounds like we'll be staying home.
Haven't been to a OBH yet. Three MMJ shows (plus the usual-quality guest acts) at a Gulf resort doesn't sound bad after a northeast winter.
How did food & beverages work at past OBHs? Was it all-inclusive? Were there packages for purchase? Could you eat outside the festival?

Past OBH's were all inclusive throughout the resort.
This isnt my first choice, but I'll go and totally agree what I save in travel may well be spent in inflated food/drink. That said, I think you can get by pretty cheap here if you work it a bit. Cook in the condo, buy your beers/ drinks and juice up prior and juz maintain in the venue.
this isn't One Big Holiday.
it's 3 night run at a Florida hotel.
i signed up, not sure if i'll pull the trigger when the time comes.

I like that, feel about the same, but probably will go
anyone on the fence on this, keep in mind that new album is coming out early 2025 so there will surely be a tour to follow.

Also the 20th anniversary of Z. I'm sure there will be some shows celebrating that as well.
All,
I suck at inserting images, but...On the Discord channel the head of Topkea (the company putting on OBH light this year) posted a couple screens of food and beverage pricing. He also mentioned there is the ability to reenter venue if ya wanted to do up to your room or whatever.
Honestly prices are not terrible at all, said outside venue your free to do your own thing as far as food/bev, so in theory you could get by cheap.
I looked at some reviews of the venues hosting and they are not amazing. So bummed! This was going to be the year for me to go, but decided I might just do the two night RR show, fingers crossed they do it in 2025.

Saw same stuff, for what its worth the promoter said u get to pick your room for that very reason
If anyone has a code for today for the presale they aren't using I'd be grateful for it. We are going but our code isn't good until Thursday. Thank you
Mrs. J and I are in for this- our first OBH. It's not tropical paradise, but the venue has experience hosting events like this, so we're expecting (hoping) things go smoothly and it's a great time. We plan to visit friends on the Gulf coast in the days before so it helps justify the air fare.
Is it too soon to start stressing about sets? I'm hoping for a full "Z" in order and maybe some new album/tracks live debuts?

No need to stress on the setlists, they're gonna play what they're gonna play. If you want to hear Z in order, check out the live downloads from OBH 2018, night two. They did all the albums pretty much in order at that OBH.

Or check out the Chicago run last year... reverse Z!!!

I'll never forget hearing Dondante opening followed by Knot Comes Loose and thinking WTH really? Still gives me goose bumps...
I'm pretty pumped to see Devon and Karina on the bill, and can't beat Preservation Hall getting back in on the action. Got a few new bands to check out too.
They didn't have any guests join them on stage at this year's OBH, but I hope that changes for next year!
If Jim and Devon team up for another Only Memories Remain like they did in Chicago last year, I'll be so happy; it was beautiful to witness and I appreciate the song so much more now. Tom and Karina on another Run Thru collab would also be fantastic to see live.
April 2025 can't get here fast enough!
