This past weekend, my girlfriend Kate and I along with her brother and his friend made a trip south to historic Churchill Downs in Louisville, KY. It wasn’t for horses however, it was for the first annual Hullabalou Music Festival that was being held there. The music festival had an outstanding line up. The three day fest had five stages and over 60 bands with the headliners Bon Jovi, Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews Band. Now, as you probably know my girlfriend Kate and I are huge Dave Matthews Band fans, so we were very excited go to go this show! On top of seeing DMB we were also excited to see Zac Brown Band and a slew of other acts.

The first part of our experience was a little crazy, since it was the first year they had this festival it was a little unorganized and at the beginning we had a hard time finding out how to get to our seats and how to see the other bands. Once we figured it out however it was a wonderful time. Zac Brown Band put on an amazing show playing their hits Toes and Chicken Friend along with Covers of Neon by John Mayer, Devil Went Down To Georgia by Charlie Daniels and God Bless America. The show was great, after the show were very excited to see Dave Matthews Band and he was awesome. He had such good energy and the set list was great. One of the highlights was when Zac Brown came out and played a All Along the Watchtower the DMB. It was incredible to see both artist up there jamming out and have a great time. What made the performance even better was during the middle the starting singing Stairway to Heave by Led Zepplin. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

Overall, our experience at Churchill Downs was great.  We had great VIP seats thanks to Circle City Tickets! It was a magical venue with great music and I got to experience with some wonderful people. I would recommend to everyone to make sure you check out Hullabalou next year!
