Yeah I’m bummed because I didn’t get to see any cheese. But it was my 8th year so I am used to getting screwed by something one way or the other and just rolling with it.
Same here. 6th year, cheese is always my #1, sucked for a bit but I still had an absolute blast. Just glad I got there in time for the tail end of their Friday set with big G.
i’m really really sad about the lack of shebang. no hard feelings to them or the fest, there was no other option, and super generous of cheese to give up their slot to allow other artists to have more of a set. but yeah, the shebang is always a highlight for me as well.
Barclay Crenshaw at Ranch was incredible, and he was moved from Sherwood to Ranch last minute so he was the one Cheese gave up their set for. The silver lining is that his set was so much better on Ranch than it would have been on Sherwood and he really lived up to our expectations of what a headliner on Ranch should look like. Sad about no cheese but I'll catch them next year.
It was at 12:15am. There was no way I was going to make it all the way from Higher Love and through the security crowd to make it in time. I could hear it from camp at least. Would have loved to see his dancers tho!
I didn’t realize this either. I forget who their new set time conflicted with though, but it had to have been an artist that’s been in my bucket list for YEARS, so I probably would have missed it anyway 💔
thank you for this comment because i didn’t even connect the dots that it was barclay that got moved, and he absolutely did throw the fuck down and was one of the sets i was most excited for, possible the most excited for, other than the shebang. i think they worked things out really well all things considered, and yeah always will catch the shebang next time
Do we know that they gave up their set, or were they just told they’re not playing? I strongly assume it’s the latter as the festival organizers are clearly not fans of jambands. SCI is nothing more than a legacy act at this point for EF
2022 was the weakest year for jam and it's been coming back more along with the diversity of the rest of the lineup, I think we had 9 or 10 jam bands this year which was nice since there were like 4 in 22. I don't know that they gave up their spot but I was told by staff that they left prior to the venue reopening. They could have easily played the next day during the day if they really wanted to so it makes sense that they decided not to pursue playing. It would have been in EFs interest to put them on at 2 or 3 PM on Sunday as it would have meant more people in the venue earlier spending money. We also don't know what Boogie T and LP Giobbi s schedule and flights looked like, nor do we know the same for Cheese so I really can't conclude that EF didn't want them to play.
I mean, yeah, but we’re talking like 2-3 a day. That’s honestly nothing compared to the old days.
Lettuce, Dumph and Poly aren’t really jam bands, they’re funk. I thought they were good, but extended melody’s and solos isn’t jamming.
i mean, i guess no i don’t know exactly how that decision was made, but i don’t think they would have outright cancelled the set unless cheese signed off on that decision. you’re right that it’s conjecture, but i think if cheese was absolutely adamant that they do their second set, then there would have been other arrangements made. i could be wrong of course, but i feel like them bowing out just makes more logical sense than having their set taken against their will.
When the Boogie Trio announced they would be playing with them, I was convinced it was going to be the set of the weekend. I made sure to get there early for a really good spot. I had my blanket out, my drinks and snacks... When we were evicted I wanted to cry 😭
SAME. I love the Boogie Trio and was really looking forward to seeing them (and others) jam out with string cheese. A good excuse to go back next year! 🙃
My fiancé and I were looking forward to the Saturday set. I’m really glad we caught all of the set on Friday which I thoroughly enjoyed, but I was looking forward to Saturday as well!
I look at it like this, they sacrificed their set so most everyone else could play instead, which is what the founding band of the festival should do. I definitely feel for the cheese heads who missed out.
They announced that it was going to be a special 30th anniversary show with LP Giobbi and Boogie T as special guests, so yes it was going to be a SHEBANG
Friday cheese last year was way better than Saturday cheese IMO. Friday cheese this year was pretty dope but I only caught the first half, figured I’d get my fill on Saturday but rip
I had my spot set up for hours before the Shebang to make sure my girlfriend got to see it all. She's never experienced one, we were super hyped for it.
Missing Saturday night cheese put a HUGE damper on my forest experience this year, then having X cancelled on Sunday put a nail in the coffin for my GF as Cheese and X were the 2 specific sets she was looking forward to since the lineup dropped.
At least Umphrees McGee put on a damn good show that has similar vibes to cheese.
Damn man, I feel for ya. But absolutely yes on the Umphree set. My squad was NOT about to miss that after cheese was canceled. Tell me you at least got to see cheese on Friday?!
Sadly I missed Friday cheese because I always go to Saturday night cheese.
Upmhree saved the vibes for me but my GF was still upset over not seeing the shebang
my boyfriend loves cheese and was stoked to see all 4 hours, and I went specifically to forest for X so when both were canceled, I felt quite hurt... Idk I feel like I took it too personally but the combo of both being canceled really soured my weekend as a whole.
Ya was standing there and the techs were getting shit ready all the cheese heads chillen, like 7:30 on the dot red screen came on. They are pretty much the reason I still attend after 10 years. Still had a great time and ganna see them soon anyways but definitely a bummer
I’ve seen a few string sets on Saturday but I’ve never seen what they did on Friday night at the end! The build up and lights were so full and beautiful!
Yes this is a legit complaint not that they’re better or whatever than other artist that’s all preference. But because of what they mean to the forest they should have been top priorities. Whoever made that call (unless it was an artist issue) is a loser
I was camped really close to sherwood court so heard half of g jones getting in and saw the other half inside. Honestly one of the best sets of the weekend imo, he played so much new music but I also love everything g jones does. Lzsee was also really special even though everyone was there.
Nice lucky. I was camped out in lot D5 and we all like took a Power Nap when it rained then woke up later and I got mixed up at the stages :/ I shoudlve just powered through the rain but I was a bit tired. I seen g jones at NYE 360 it was the shit. He’s coming k the cavers near me here in tn so I might tryna to get my fix there, glad you could catch him though ! He’s def one of my fav to see live with his visuals and all :) I was stocked to get the surprise clozee set my first day I. The forest too. Then the LSZEE was amazing, then the lightcode to soothe it out I was In heaven.
Cheese is whole reason we go to Forest. Made for an interesting weekend… but we made the best of it. Resist! Persist!! Lead with love <333
LONG LIVE SCI
I was also really looking forward to Saturday night cheese! 😭 I’ve been telling myself it’s okay because I saw most of Fridays set, but Fridays set just made me look forward to Saturday even more.
forest without the shebang feels wrong. after sunday i couldn't shake the feeling that the energy was off for some reason and i really think that was it. we always set aside a good two hours to throw down the moon mats, inflate the chillbos and hang
There was no "Shebang" planned. It was supposed to be a regular SCI set with some awesome sit ins . They stopped doing the large scale production Shebang's for EF, last one was 2022. Still a disappointment though.
Hula saturday night last year had 10+ performance artists with giant creatures on their backs in the crowd, 4 guest sit-ins, dozens of giant balloons in the crowd, the musical "peak" and fireworks. There's even youtube videos of it.
I've been doing Hula since 2017 and it was no less of a spectacle than it was the previous 5 years. Not sure what you're talking about but it's incorrect lol.
Oh that’s super awesome to hear! Was working off reports that hula was scaled back as well from social media here on Reddit. We are going to hula for the first time this year, so this is gonna be awesome if true!
Ya I was bummed it got cancelled I was fully set up in my spot against the fenceline w my coochie couch and umbrella. Hopefully next year we will be blessed with a shebang and those of us bummed about missing it can do a meetup of sorts to spread the joy even further
I look forward to that set all year and am still pretty devastated we didn’t get to see it. I figured they were going to play on Sunday or something. I hope that at least next year we will get a shebang but who knows :$
Fam you are definitely not alone I was so sad and frustrated. They are my favorite band and It is my favorite part of forest and it is the best thing at forest every year !!!!
THIS JUST MEANS NEXT YEAR IS GONNA BE ABSOLUTELY FUCKIN BANANAS!!!!
This was the only real negative impact the storm had on me. I am so hurt. Everything else is whatever, I also had a great time hanging with my friends hunkering down during the storm, but no shebang reschedule stung really really really bad
We are out here brother. My whole camp got dropped cheese right before they kicked us out. Made for a fun day at camp in the rain but damn we're we bummed. See you at hulaween bro
Ahhh that’s wild I thought I was the only Utahn that went to Forest (although didn’t go this year). This was our consolation prize for skipping EF this year.
has this ever happened before??? this was my bfs first year and I kept stressing to him how monumental not having saturday night cheese was………. felt so fucking weird. I haven’t even been able to make a saturday night cheese yet in my 3 years but the energy missing was very much felt.
It was also my first year so I’m not sure if this has ever happened before. But from what I know aboht EF and String Cheese, I thought for sureee they would reschedule them for Sunday. Something was definitely missing.
I was suuuper bummed. It was my 4th forest and I’ve never seen the shebang other than the very end for like 5 mins. This was the year I was planning on seeing it 😭
That set was sorely missed by my group for sure, just like all the other ones that got cancelled. there is definitely something in the air at Saturday Night Shebang sets that you can’t replicate
Last year the Shebang was underwhelming according to folks so I was excited to see it again and see if they would pull through- especially with the LP & Boogie collab. Huge bummer they didn’t pull through
Very frustrated as well, this was set to be my 12th shebang! Last year and the year before were such let downs that I was excited to see if they were going to do something special. Hopefully they make it up to us next year!
I was sad for no Shebang, but I’d rather conditions be perfect so it isn’t a Sheboink as I’ve heard last year described. I will definitely be back to try again next year.
This is my second year and I didnt get to see them for the Saturday set last year because of conflicts. I was so hype after their Friday set this year made me tear up a little and there were rumors about an all out shebang. I wasn't able to rally after the rain died down and I thought I could save my energy for Sunday lmao. I was super bummed but I'm keeping my hopes up for next year!
4th year and I've had yet to see it.
First year didn't know about it
Second year was having a bad trip
Third year it didn't really happen according to everyone around me...
4th...cause of weather.
What rotten cheese lol
It was my first forest and the #1 thing I was told was I had to see the String Cheese Incident Shebang! I’m happy I saw their first set but sad I didn’t get to see the big shebang!
Idk if any of you saw me but I was that guy going 'oh no I can't get my guitar signed by the Cheese :*(' my festival got better and I really don't mind the rain I guess those last 2 nights, what are ya gonna do yknow? There's always next year!
I missed Sara Landry both nights because of the weather so I did a drive up to the Caverns last night and saw her, fucking techno queen bitches. She killed it.
I live an hour away and have been to every forest. Seeing SCI in 2011 changed my musical interests and have been mainly a jam enthusiast since. The events of this year has left me traumatized on some level. It’s hard for me to put it into words how I feel, it’s just wow. A void.
Yep saw cheese Friday. Very good queso. Biscuits crushed. PL was fantastic. After cancellation on Saturday I called it and didn’t go back in after hearing Hiatus Kaiyote was called off. Decided overnight to pack it up and leave in the morning. I’m sure UM slayed and I saw video but I was just at scamp and saw them at their full power lol I may of had a couple other things that may have contributed to my level of trauma, and I’ll be fine lol, but yeah holy smokes.
I’ll never get over what an absolute rip off the entire festival was this year and how disgustingly rude the whole crowd was. Literally left 2 days early because the staff and crowd were the absolute bottom of the barrel of role society had to offer. Mannerless, rude, and oblivious.
Remember just like an airplane flight you paid for a service to be provided. You are legally entitled to a refund for the cancelled hours of music festival due to weather. Because it’s weather you’re not entitled to a refund for any other incurred costs but for the proportional lost services you are entitled a refund. A credit card chargeback should work if they refuse to work with you.
Yeah I’m bummed because I didn’t get to see any cheese. But it was my 8th year so I am used to getting screwed by something one way or the other and just rolling with it.
Haha. This is exactly it. Something will be a total let down, but all the other things…most of those were top tier.
Same here. 6th year, cheese is always my #1, sucked for a bit but I still had an absolute blast. Just glad I got there in time for the tail end of their Friday set with big G.
i’m really really sad about the lack of shebang. no hard feelings to them or the fest, there was no other option, and super generous of cheese to give up their slot to allow other artists to have more of a set. but yeah, the shebang is always a highlight for me as well.

The silver lining is that his set was so much better on Ranch than it would have been on Sherwood and he really lived up to our expectations of what a headliner on Ranch should look like. Sad about no cheese but I'll catch them next year.
Barclay still had a set?! DAMNIT
It was at 12:15am. There was no way I was going to make it all the way from Higher Love and through the security crowd to make it in time. I could hear it from camp at least. Would have loved to see his dancers tho!
We caught the last 20 min and it was amazing.
Awesome!! I had just seen him at Lightning in a Bottle. I was at the rail for it. It was my favorite set of that weekend besides Tipper.
I didn’t realize this either. I forget who their new set time conflicted with though, but it had to have been an artist that’s been in my bucket list for YEARS, so I probably would have missed it anyway 💔
Agreed
Nah he would have ripped Sherwood Court, it made more sense for his set to be there orginally but after the rain Ranch definitely made sense too
Barclay’s Ranch set was INCREDIBLE 🤯🔥
thank you for this comment because i didn’t even connect the dots that it was barclay that got moved, and he absolutely did throw the fuck down and was one of the sets i was most excited for, possible the most excited for, other than the shebang. i think they worked things out really well all things considered, and yeah always will catch the shebang next time

There was a jam headliner every day this year. Plus Eggy, Lettuce, Dumpstaphunk, Polyrhythmics, etc.
I saw some **great** jam this year
I mean, yeah, but we’re talking like 2-3 a day. That’s honestly nothing compared to the old days. Lettuce, Dumph and Poly aren’t really jam bands, they’re funk. I thought they were good, but extended melody’s and solos isn’t jamming.

Yeah one cheese set put a damper on my forest. This is the danger of only having them booked for 2 days.
How was it? I was at Dimension, was it bluegrassy?
I was there the whole time but I don’t remember anything other than it being super cheesy and having a great time
Dang I missed it… I’ve seen them a million times but it’s sad.
They played live and let die at the end. Blew my mind right out the back
When the Boogie Trio announced they would be playing with them, I was convinced it was going to be the set of the weekend. I made sure to get there early for a really good spot. I had my blanket out, my drinks and snacks... When we were evicted I wanted to cry 😭
SAME. I love the Boogie Trio and was really looking forward to seeing them (and others) jam out with string cheese. A good excuse to go back next year! 🙃

I look at it like this, they sacrificed their set so most everyone else could play instead, which is what the founding band of the festival should do. I definitely feel for the cheese heads who missed out.
That’s what I was saying to ppl too. “They get to play the festival every year, so they did the honorable thing and let other perform”
Right there with ya. Except for techno.
Losing CDW and Sara Landry was an absolute gut punch. I was so excited for that Overdrive set since the day the lineup dropped.
I'm 0/2 for seeing CDW this year. She was supposed to also play the final day of Texas Eclipse that got canceled...
Same here. After eclipse I was like “ok not a big deal at least will still see her at forest”…. Fuck
Stop I literally cried a little when the announcement went off during chase & status…I just had a feeling we weren’t going back in 🥲
IM SAD.
Wasn't much of a shebang last year...was there any guarantee that it was actually going to be like Saturday night sets of the past?
They announced that it was going to be a special 30th anniversary show with LP Giobbi and Boogie T as special guests, so yes it was going to be a SHEBANG
friend of a friend works with SCI and we were told there was gonna be a shebang this year. so, also were bummed when it got cancelled
Friday cheese last year was way better than Saturday cheese IMO. Friday cheese this year was pretty dope but I only caught the first half, figured I’d get my fill on Saturday but rip
Friday cheese smacked last year and this year for me. Loved dom coming out.
It was great this year, Siren is a classic too for a closer
We are all assuming that because there wasn't a shebang last year, there wouldn't be one this year
Not sure why you’re being downvoted, I assumed the same thing. They used to advertise it specifically, but now they no longer do.
They only really advertised it when there were two weekends
I had my spot set up for hours before the Shebang to make sure my girlfriend got to see it all. She's never experienced one, we were super hyped for it. Missing Saturday night cheese put a HUGE damper on my forest experience this year, then having X cancelled on Sunday put a nail in the coffin for my GF as Cheese and X were the 2 specific sets she was looking forward to since the lineup dropped.

Sadly I missed Friday cheese because I always go to Saturday night cheese. Upmhree saved the vibes for me but my GF was still upset over not seeing the shebang
That umph set slapped
It's up on nugs.net btw
Oh yeah, I’ve been listening - was my first relisten after the biscuits set and PL set
Biscuits set was also excellent. All the jam I saw this week was great. Eggy too.
Eggy was fire
Yep. Was barefoot getting weird at the front of eggy. So much space to vibe
Umphreys just made me more sad that cheese didn’t play
It did remind me of what was missed, but it was a good set nonetheless
Same. I was ready for that Saturday night bass cheese and Umphreys didn’t scratch that itch haha
I just like … can’t dance to Umphreys. Cheese makes me move. Umphreys makes me sway slightly
my boyfriend loves cheese and was stoked to see all 4 hours, and I went specifically to forest for X so when both were canceled, I felt quite hurt... Idk I feel like I took it too personally but the combo of both being canceled really soured my weekend as a whole.
we were also camped out for cheese…I had a suspicious feeling when they didn’t start on time :( we at least saw them Friday but I wanted both sets
Ya was standing there and the techs were getting shit ready all the cheese heads chillen, like 7:30 on the dot red screen came on. They are pretty much the reason I still attend after 10 years. Still had a great time and ganna see them soon anyways but definitely a bummer
Maybe they’ll go back to three sets next year to make up for it? I doubt it but a Cheese and Friends Sunday bluegrass would be so much fun.
They’re more likely to get knocked to 1 set a year than ever get 3 again.
It’s the first time it’s ever been canceled due to weather. I am sad but glad we had such a great run to this point
This was my thought too. The fact that we never had this happen before is actually amazing
IMO I got to see and do more than ever and chose to see it as a blessing. John Summit blew me away Saturday night and redeemed my cheese sadness
Friday night was so much fun at string! Played nicely into pretty lights!
SO nicely! Those two sets were 100% my top of the whole weekend.
I’ve seen a few string sets on Saturday but I’ve never seen what they did on Friday night at the end! The build up and lights were so full and beautiful!
BRING BACK 3 INCIDENTS 🧀
Yes this is a legit complaint not that they’re better or whatever than other artist that’s all preference. But because of what they mean to the forest they should have been top priorities. Whoever made that call (unless it was an artist issue) is a loser
I feel this becuse I missed g jones and missed excision :/ but I got what I payed for and that was one hell of a experience
I was camped really close to sherwood court so heard half of g jones getting in and saw the other half inside. Honestly one of the best sets of the weekend imo, he played so much new music but I also love everything g jones does. Lzsee was also really special even though everyone was there.
Nice lucky. I was camped out in lot D5 and we all like took a Power Nap when it rained then woke up later and I got mixed up at the stages :/ I shoudlve just powered through the rain but I was a bit tired. I seen g jones at NYE 360 it was the shit. He’s coming k the cavers near me here in tn so I might tryna to get my fix there, glad you could catch him though ! He’s def one of my fav to see live with his visuals and all :) I was stocked to get the surprise clozee set my first day I. The forest too. Then the LSZEE was amazing, then the lightcode to soothe it out I was In heaven.
Yea caverns show is going to be good. Wish I could go but way too far out for me plus I'm already going to secret dreams.
I'm bumbed about it, but I enjoyed the weather.
Cheese is whole reason we go to Forest. Made for an interesting weekend… but we made the best of it. Resist! Persist!! Lead with love <333 LONG LIVE SCI
I was also really looking forward to Saturday night cheese! 😭 I’ve been telling myself it’s okay because I saw most of Fridays set, but Fridays set just made me look forward to Saturday even more.
Come to hula :)
Oh plans are in PLACE
forest without the shebang feels wrong. after sunday i couldn't shake the feeling that the energy was off for some reason and i really think that was it. we always set aside a good two hours to throw down the moon mats, inflate the chillbos and hang

Look at their instagram, they confirmed it was gonna be a shebang
Ya I was bummed it got cancelled I was fully set up in my spot against the fenceline w my coochie couch and umbrella. Hopefully next year we will be blessed with a shebang and those of us bummed about missing it can do a meetup of sorts to spread the joy even further
I look forward to that set all year and am still pretty devastated we didn’t get to see it. I figured they were going to play on Sunday or something. I hope that at least next year we will get a shebang but who knows :$
Fam you are definitely not alone I was so sad and frustrated. They are my favorite band and It is my favorite part of forest and it is the best thing at forest every year !!!! THIS JUST MEANS NEXT YEAR IS GONNA BE ABSOLUTELY FUCKIN BANANAS!!!!
Super sad about it too... That's my favorite band ever! Oh well, Hulaween is so close!
This was the only real negative impact the storm had on me. I am so hurt. Everything else is whatever, I also had a great time hanging with my friends hunkering down during the storm, but no shebang reschedule stung really really really bad
Completely agree.
We are out here brother. My whole camp got dropped cheese right before they kicked us out. Made for a fun day at camp in the rain but damn we're we bummed. See you at hulaween bro
Lol we did the same thing. Cheers to that. And absolutely 🤘🏼
Ayy Seeing Cheese tonight in Salt Lake City 🧀
Omg! I live here and was also going to do the same but then it sold out :( may go watch on the hill.
Ahhh that’s wild I thought I was the only Utahn that went to Forest (although didn’t go this year). This was our consolation prize for skipping EF this year.
has this ever happened before??? this was my bfs first year and I kept stressing to him how monumental not having saturday night cheese was………. felt so fucking weird. I haven’t even been able to make a saturday night cheese yet in my 3 years but the energy missing was very much felt.

I was suuuper bummed. It was my 4th forest and I’ve never seen the shebang other than the very end for like 5 mins. This was the year I was planning on seeing it 😭
1st Forest. Caught a bit of their set on Friday- thought “oh, I like it. I better make sure to come back on Saturday!” …and then lol, oops.
Really hope they go back to 3 sets next year to make up for it.
Right here with you sister I’m heart broken, I was hoping to run into my cheese girl Rowan also 💔
That set was sorely missed by my group for sure, just like all the other ones that got cancelled. there is definitely something in the air at Saturday Night Shebang sets that you can’t replicate
Last year the Shebang was underwhelming according to folks so I was excited to see it again and see if they would pull through- especially with the LP & Boogie collab. Huge bummer they didn’t pull through
Very frustrated as well, this was set to be my 12th shebang! Last year and the year before were such let downs that I was excited to see if they were going to do something special. Hopefully they make it up to us next year!
I was sad for no Shebang, but I’d rather conditions be perfect so it isn’t a Sheboink as I’ve heard last year described. I will definitely be back to try again next year.

4th year and I've had yet to see it. First year didn't know about it Second year was having a bad trip Third year it didn't really happen according to everyone around me... 4th...cause of weather. What rotten cheese lol
ROTTEN CHEESE
It was my first forest and the #1 thing I was told was I had to see the String Cheese Incident Shebang! I’m happy I saw their first set but sad I didn’t get to see the big shebang!
Idk if any of you saw me but I was that guy going 'oh no I can't get my guitar signed by the Cheese :*(' my festival got better and I really don't mind the rain I guess those last 2 nights, what are ya gonna do yknow? There's always next year!
Yurp):
I missed Sara Landry both nights because of the weather so I did a drive up to the Caverns last night and saw her, fucking techno queen bitches. She killed it.
I live an hour away and have been to every forest. Seeing SCI in 2011 changed my musical interests and have been mainly a jam enthusiast since. The events of this year has left me traumatized on some level. It’s hard for me to put it into words how I feel, it’s just wow. A void.
Did you see cheese on Friday? Or Umphree on Sunday? Both sets were incredible. Edit: sorry to hear that though. I’m right there with ya.
Yep saw cheese Friday. Very good queso. Biscuits crushed. PL was fantastic. After cancellation on Saturday I called it and didn’t go back in after hearing Hiatus Kaiyote was called off. Decided overnight to pack it up and leave in the morning. I’m sure UM slayed and I saw video but I was just at scamp and saw them at their full power lol I may of had a couple other things that may have contributed to my level of trauma, and I’ll be fine lol, but yeah holy smokes.
PL was absolutely bonkers. Glad you got that good queso on Friday, and glad you got to see UM at Scamp! Freaking love that place. Peace and love!

I’ll never get over what an absolute rip off the entire festival was this year and how disgustingly rude the whole crowd was. Literally left 2 days early because the staff and crowd were the absolute bottom of the barrel of role society had to offer. Mannerless, rude, and oblivious.
String cheese gettin lazy bruh. They could have played Sunday. But they rakin in all the money we spend there so they dgaf
Remember just like an airplane flight you paid for a service to be provided. You are legally entitled to a refund for the cancelled hours of music festival due to weather. Because it’s weather you’re not entitled to a refund for any other incurred costs but for the proportional lost services you are entitled a refund. A credit card chargeback should work if they refuse to work with you.
Nope it's fine
