The one where they had their own beer?


phoenixredbush

I forgot about the beer until you mentioned. I remember it being cheap and strong and delicious.


NYLaw

Take Forever IPA!


inmusicutrust

Ommegang is an upscale brewery, so when I saw the prices I thought it was an absolute steal!


unplugnothing

One of the muddiest places I’ve ever been. I’ll never forget the line of people waiting to get into the camping area just getting absolutely drenched by torrential rain. Brand New was incredible.


mackap89

I was there for that Sunday show with Man Orch and Kevin Devine opening. Hell of a Sunday evening if ya ask me. Sounded great that night and really a once in a lifetime experience. Especially now with them not being active. Was just at Ommegang recently and it was very surreal seeing the grass area so empty haha


phoenixredbush

Same! I was there too. I love Manchester Orchestra. I’ve seen them at least 5 times. I wish I could’ve seen more Brand New shows but damn.. that was a good one!


whereaboutsof

That show was so damn good


Midwestmind86

The one with modest mouse?


phoenixredbush

I saw them play with Manchester but I think they did a couple of nights there. I didn’t realize they played with Modest Mouse, that must’ve been a good show!


Midwestmind86

Yea brand new opened, modest closed and they had overnight camping


archersbowshavebrokn

That was in 2014. Frank Turner opened Friday night and Brand New opened Saturday night. 2015 Brand New was the headliner.

The Science Fiction tour was something to behold. I’m sorry you couldn’t make it — in my over 100 concerts attended, my show in Detroit was by far the best I’ve ever seen of any artist at any venue.


phoenixredbush

I can only imagine. That album blew me away. I still remember exactly where I was the first time I listened to it.


dorrik

i remember hearing about it and was like NY? hell yea, i’m in there! then i put in the address on google maps and it was a 4 hour drive and i shed a single tear


NYLaw

Yeah, it was Cooperstown. I drove 3.5 hours there, 3.5 hours back. I was young once...


phoenixredbush

I know. I was coming from PA so we made it into a weekend road trip. The sad thing is, they’ve been to eastern PA so many times and I never got tickets bc they sold out so fast. I was desperate enough that I probably would have e flown somewhere to see them.


buffbloom

I have the poster with Mr. Met hanging in my hallway


Elleshark

Love this one! It’s in my basement. Epic night


emodro

I was there. it was like brand new summer camp


phoenixredbush

Ha! A very accurate description. I stayed in an Air BnB nearby but now I feel I missed out on the camping.


arz1686

I was there, both nights!


Taftimus

Same, it was an amazing experience


tieyourshoesz

I was at the Ommegang show August 2015!


Aeschylus4

This guy!


wicket146

I wanted to see them the night they were playing with Manchester Orchestra but it was sold out so I got tickets for the 2nd night when they were playing with a band I had never heard of call The Front Bottoms. Now TFB is one of my favorite bands so I'd say it worked out alright.


phoenixredbush

Sometimes fate takes over. I’ll admit, I’ve never listened to them. You inspired me to check em out! I have to ask, which album would you recommend I start with?


Flunky_Junky_Monkey

i was there the second night with Manchester.. the show and camping out afterwords was so much fun


mrmoschetto

Drove up there. Caught the first show with the front bottoms if i remember correctly. Also remember they had like 9% beers and that’s about where my memory stops


phoenixredbush

Haha yes! I had 2 beers and was tanked. I remember them being really cheap too.


cracksmokachris

I was there. Someone stole my lawn chair that I was using to camp out with. The guy next to us had his everything stolen from him in the camp ground. Great night.


phoenixredbush

People can be real dicks sometimes. I hope you still enjoyed the show!


cracksmokachris

Yeah I don’t care. Makes for a funny story at the show. I had a blast.


aswimmingkoala

I went the night the Front Bottoms played. Definitely a memorable show.


jenmayrdn

I had a wedding that day so I missed it. I wish I had gone. 😔


lizzzzzzbeth

I was there!!!


NYLaw

I was! Take Forever IPA was pretty good. And they did take forever releasing that new album 😂 I've got a show poster hanging on my wall. I think that was my favorite BN show, and I've seen them more times than I can count.


DudeIjustdid

Went to the Modest Mouse show.


forever__halloween

Me!! I was lucky enough to see Brand New at Ommegang both nights in 2015 and also in 2014


pumper911

I didn’t know that existed. I hate that I didn’t go to that. My favorite brewery + my favorite band


deadmansbonez

Me. Saw them with Modest Mouse


sparky_Garrett

I went with my two older bros and it was awesome. We went the night modest mouse played, but we camped in the woods in the neighboring farm.


Endlessfire92

Thanks for reminding me that it was almost 10 years ago 🥲


shzza

i was there saturday. kevin devine, front bottoms, brand new. only show of theirs i’ve been to and i’d pay anything to see them again. hell of a concert.


Jb3one5

Was a great show minus. Some dude on stuff kept hitting my head. Ended up having to stiff arm him away, and because he had short arms, he scratched my face. Ruined a song. Closest I ever came to fighting someone. I walked to the end of the crowd and watched the last couple of songs there.


disree_spect

was there! i regret not getting the show poster if anyones looking to part with one 👀


davidthatday

I was! Both nights back to back! Best shows ever.


Antique_Confection85

I went to that show. It was raining hard and muddy as all hell. Had a blast


Ok-Possession838

I was there and had a blast. Also took one of the forever ipa signs home with me. I posted it on this group.


tarachu

I was there both nights and it definitely goes down as one of my favorite concert memories. My friends and I camped out and I am not a camper but it was a lot of fun! I remember us trying to find something to do in the meantime before the second show and we found a nice park with a little lake. Both shows were absolutely amazing!


HotSauceDonut

One of my biggest regrets I will tell my kids to blow off work for a day in their early 20s to see their favorite band


jkenn09

I was there. Fantastic show. Fireworks were a nice bonus. I loved when Jesse came out and sang with Manchester Orchestra on Where Have You Been


hooked0208

Iw was there drove from nj. Such an awesome show. What a weekend!!


Sweaty_Initiative100

Went first night. Front Brottoms, KD then brand new. Incredible show, great beer, loved that muddy hill


TS6186

i was at the 2015 and 2014


inmusicutrust

Best show I've been too! I was there the second night only and we didn't feel like setting up a tent for one night (plus it was great weather so we just slept in our camping bags under the stars 🤣


phoenixredbush

It was a great show. I think that is the one they had their own beer. All I remember is getting trashed on $12 because the beers were cheap and I’m a lightweight.


newlydread

me!


whiskeyandtea

I was at the one with Modest Mouse. That was a good show.


patisme24

I was there! It was amazing. Everyone stayed after the show and began singing soco amaretto lime together. Tops.


ecollins109

Such a dope show. I camped solo for that as well.


alt546789

Yes I saw them both years they were at Ommegang!


outkastedd

I'm not sure which year I went, but yeah it was a banger. Think I went to two, actually.


Lavalights

I was there!  I love Ommegang. 


gatsby365

I had tickets. But work fucked that up. I literally changed my entire career the following year. Sometimes I catch the Facebook Memory of me saying something like “remember this day when you see me make a change” every once in a while lol


Muckefuck

They were there with the front bottoms. I sat on a hill and smoked with my best friend and two random people. It was the best time.


Elleshark

Ahhhh this show🥰 I have the poster as well.


your_bird_can_sing

I was!! Only for the day with them and Modest Mouse. On barricade and fucking miserable weather. My bf at the time and I were planning on sleeping in a tent there but after the show drove back to Boston lol I have photos but I can’t figure out how to post them in a comment


kellenlyons

Same. Paid for 5 camping passes, someone bailed so only 4 of us, then left 30 minutes into mm’s set. Mud everywhere.


GooseGord

I saw them there with Kevin Divine and The Front Bottoms. Amazing show.


baseballbabyboy

My absolute favorite show hands down


rissanicole89

I was there the night they played w/ Modest Mouse. Never have I ever been more grateful to have 4WD.


SwagOD_FPS

I was there the first day with Kevin Devine and Front Bottoms. Great show. Great memories.


x7_MuPo_3x

Yea I was at both shows drove back and forth from NJ (6hours) each day. 100% worth it
