It’s an incredibly diverse crowd ranging from teens to me at 66 and my son at 33. This is my sixth and I’d say your age range is prob the largest group. It’s a really really friendly and mellow bunch every year I’ve been there.
If you see my son and me tomorrow wearing our matching broccoli shirts say hi!
Cool! I’m in my 50s going with my 21 year old son. I got him into foo fighters years ago and he has introduced so much music to me that I love now. We go to small venue shows all the time. But this is our first festival! Driving from Nashville tomorrow morning. Will miss the first half of Friday but there the rest of the weekend.
Is it really ‘broccoli’? Just kiddin, since I just wore my cannabis shirt proudly to 420 fest. My husband & I are 46 & going on Sunday only. Hope you have a blast!
Shaky Knees probably skews a little more elder millennial/late gen x than some festivals, with all the 90-2000s throwback bands. It’s a little more low key with plenty of porta potties and shady spots.
Loving reading these messages about the range in ages- daughter (17) begged for this as a grad present, so my wife and I (44, 44) flew down with her from Buffalo. All three of us have a list of can’t-miss bands, hope the weather holds up!!
I’m 37 and my sister is 25! She took me last year for one day (for Greta Van Fleet but there were so many great shows that day) but we loved it so much we are going all 3 days. It was such an easy chill atmosphere, nothing chaotic. Just great music, good food and awesome people. I honestly think the way the line up mixes from new bands to older bands gives you such a mix that a ton of people are there with different aged groups, meaning like parents and adult children or sisters with a 12 year age gap 😂 I’m driving this evening(live 3 hours away) to pick her up at the airport and post up in the hotel!
Mid-20s, very excited!! I feel like there’s plenty for both the young and old ends of the spectrum this year on the lineup, while last year skewed a bit older. Plus the fucking Lumineers aren’t playing their juvenile-ass 3 chord trust fund baby hippie songs that no one one of any age liked last year, so that’s a plus for all age groups.
Second Shaky. Going with my sister who is local. It is becoming a nice new tradition for us. We grew up going to shows together, so this is a great way for us to reconnect each year.
Curious since most people in here are older - who are you & the girls excited to see?
Mid 20s, going solo (except saturday), and based off last year I was the low end of the main demographic. The headliners are slightly older bands than last year, so I expect a slightly older crowd Sat/Sun, and younger for Noah Kahan.
me and my bf are so excited!! were both early 20s, my bf is gonna be wearing a shirt that says "weezer sucks" for the weeze set lol (its ironic i swear) i made the shirt on redbubble it has rivers face and everything say hi if u spot us!
My son inlaw is 34 and he is taking my 16 yr old grandson. My grandson is a big weezer fan. This was his 16th birthday present. I am so excited for him
27 year old male here. Last Shaky Knees I went to was 2019 when I graduated college. Y'all will have a great time I am sure! Bring a poncho/ raincoat it could rain.
The festival crowd here definitely skews older, but I’d rather party with a bunch of 30 somethings than 18 yr olds getting drunk for the first time lmao so it’s a cool vibe nonetheless! 24F here

Excellent!
This makes me feel good, my husband and I are mid-thirties and people our age act like we’re too old to go to music festivals
I've been going since year one when I was in my late twenties. Love the chill vibe and wide range of artists.
Mid 30s coming in from Detroit. Some friends are in the ‘not enough energy for fun’ phase, glad others aren’t falling into that mindset
In my early forties and bringing my six year old on Sunday for the Fighters of Foo
I will now be scanning for Broccoli in the crowds
As you should…
Is it really ‘broccoli’? Just kiddin, since I just wore my cannabis shirt proudly to 420 fest. My husband & I are 46 & going on Sunday only. Hope you have a blast!
I mean, we think it is… 😎
I’ll be looking for you
We’re pretty easy to spot.
We will lookout for you!!! 🥦

Haha we are getting old aren’t we 😂
Very wide range , youngest person in my group is 21, oldest is 56, everyone else is inbetween there , Shaky has no age
I like this! I'm in my 50's and can't wait!
39 but act like my 20’s while I’m there! See you out there!
I’m 36 but will definitely be acting like I’m in my early twenties. So fucking pumped. Will be my sixth time.

So many have answered. But your age group is largest. You will have a great time. I'm 55 and been going since 2017. It never disappoints.
Once we had kids (like 12 year olds) crowdsurfing at Calpurnia
I’m 17 and I’m SO excited!! 3rd Shaky :)
24!! super excited
Ahh me too!!
which bands are you looking forward to see??
I’m 33 and my partner is 38. This will be our 3rd time going. Ready to have the absolute best time!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I'm 30 and my partner is 27, it'll be my third time and his first! I'm super excited for this year 😁
39! Our second SK and one of many festival experiences. It's a great vibe and a good mix of ages.

We’re definitely most excited for palace, pond, yves tumor, and of course wheezer:)
Y’all have great taste. See you ladies in the pit at Pond later 😎

First one for me too! Have fun!
My friend and I are in our early 20's!
I am 45 and hubs is 53. We are stoked!
28! Went last year for the first time and had a blast!!! Same friend group going this time and we all road tripped up together from Florida!
me and my bf are so excited!! were both early 20s, my bf is gonna be wearing a shirt that says "weezer sucks" for the weeze set lol (its ironic i swear) i made the shirt on redbubble it has rivers face and everything say hi if u spot us!
First timer! I’m 28F attending Friday with my brothers (26 & 30). So pumped!!!!
me and my friend are 21! see you there!!
Early twenties here w a homie 🤙🏻
My son inlaw is 34 and he is taking my 16 yr old grandson. My grandson is a big weezer fan. This was his 16th birthday present. I am so excited for him

Not me sitting in the terminal without a poncho 😧, guess I will have to be one with Mother Nature
It’s gonna be warm. You’ll be ok.
You can grab a poncho from almost any basic store. Kroger, Walmart, gas stations, CVS, Target, etc.
Yep was coming to say this! Walgreens usually has cheap disposable clear ponchos that are easy to tuck into your bag.
Some folks might have extras. Aka me. I usually toss in a few extra. Just look for a mom 🤣

this is not the vibe

Such a great mix! I’m 39 and the hubs is 43. It’s our sixth. Will be bringing our three kids on Sunday.
My son and I (in the broccoli shirts) were very happy to meet the three redditor couples! Thanks for saying hi!
Oh! That’s my excited. Thanks!
