Has anyone ever been to We-Fest in Detroit Lakes?

**kimbercuddles** · 02-22-2007, 10:40 PM

The last time I went, it was in 1988 and 1989...yes, I'm no spring chickadee! It's one of the biggest events in Minnesota...many well-known country music artists play and it's a lot of fun. I believe that the last time I was there, Ronnie Milsap, the Bellamy Brothers and a few of the up and coming bands played, also. Anyway, just re-living the past and wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about!

Hhmmm country music.. Nope not me. I can only hear a few before it starts to get to me... wonder why that is? I like music... different strokes I guess.

I was more into Edgefest/XFest in Somerset, Wisconsin. Memorial Day weekend camping in the rain and mud.

Was that the same type of thing? What sort of music is the norm for Edgefest/Xfest?

Yeah, the same type of thing, but Alternative and Rock music.

That sounds more like my cup of tea...but I learned to appreciate country music after living in San Antonio for over ten years. I'm an avid Green Day fan...

Green Day has played it a couple times. They are one of the few bands that never got mad about people throwing mud.

The lead singer of one band threatened to beat up everybody throwing mud one year, only to get hit with more mud then walk off stage. I am not certain about who it was anymore, but I think it might have been Buckcherry. Green Day just had a good time with it and threw mud back.

I've always been a Green Day fan...long before American Idiot. Unfortunately, living in Navarre, well, it's not as if bands have a burning desire to play in this area. At least in San Antonio, we were able to see almost anyone within a year or so.
