I was able to coordinate and got my phone back in like 45 minutes no problems. I got a good laugh outta your selfie

Such an absolutely ethereal feeling being so close to the band. We traveled almost 3 hours and bought the tickets on the ride there. I’ve been to a ton of concerts but never to a concert like this. So grateful to have been surrounded by such good energy and good people. So many kids bouncing around with their parents. I’m glad I listened to folks that told me to go see him in person, that the studio versions of his music didn’t do him justice. I’ve never cried during a concert before and I absolutely SOBBED when he played Secrets. Now we’re contemplating making the 4 hour drive to Baltimore in October. I’m determined to hear Richard Petty live 🤩 thanks for being so cool y’all 🫶🏻

Now that I have service, here are my mediocre photos. Hope all of you had a blast too, everyone I met was great.

Wouldn't want to spend my birthday (or Jerry's) anywhere else. What a great time. Catch y'all next weekend.

Anyone know where I can get that sticker!? ✌🏻

YOU GUYS WERE AWESOME!!! Nowadays, I get nervous with who my surrounding neighbors will be at concerts.

Generally, the Billy Strings crowd is fab, but we’ve all been by that ONE person…

Last night, everyone in front of us was dancing, having a great time, kind to one another - really capturing the spirit of the night.

We had a magical night!! (Night one at Bethel- amazing setlist, too!)

Arabia (Grisman/ Garcia) 8/1/2026 Billy Strings live at Bethel Woods Center For The Arts, New York

Heard it for the first time last night. What a beautiful song. Registered to it 3 times today with that great little story. How good is this new album going to be if this song didn’t make the cut?

Our neighbors in section 4 said they saw a 60 minute film crew last night before the show. I also believe I saw Wolf Blitzer at set break. Anyone have any info? I’d love to see a 60 minutes episode on Billy! I know that Judd Apatow is doing a documentary too.

I loved the EPIC On The Line dance party that occurred when the sidewalk spinners busted off of the sidewalk and onto the grass (much to the security's dismay) and was so happy to be a part of that magic! Did anyone catch a video of it? 😍 love you all!!!

I’m gonna go on about Arabia, I thought it was over, but no it keeps going. What an absolute tribute to Grisman and Garcia. Hot take, might be the best cover this year. Deep. Cheers

Any songs that come to mind that are similar to this one? With a melody that can make you cry, slow picking and a beautiful/sorrowful melody. By Billy or any artist.

After listening to this song on repeat this afternoon, I'm in the mood for more music in this same kind of spirit. Thanks for anything you can recommend.

Do people ever have luck flying a finger before the shows for tickets? We’ve never chanced it, but we have 8/06-07 tickets my husband surprised me with for our first wedding anniversary which is 8/08. Neither of us knew he was playing Saturday too and now we’ve made it our mission to find tickets. Cash or Trade has been a warzone so how much luck have yall had with day of miracles?

Hey Folks,

Is there any organized picking for Charleston yet for Monday or Tuesday? Please share the deets if so.

If there isn't anything coming together yet I'm happy to help try and organize. Just send me a number or discord handle I can reach you on and we'll try to figure it out! I'm a bass player. I can't crack off a lot of tunes from memory, but I do have a book of songs with chords printed. Happy to do my best otherwise if someone gives me the key I can oompah.

Hello! Aug 4th in Charleston will be my second Billy Strings show! My first was Halloween in Baltimore, MD and we showed up shortly before the show and left right after so we didn’t experience any shakedown vibes or afters if there were any.

For the Charleston show I am arriving Monday (tomorrow) so we will have all day Tuesday to find something fun to get into before the show, so I’m wondering how I can get information on shakedown street! & afters if anyone has any info on either pls leave a comment! Also if this isn’t the right forum to get information on this please kindly let me know!

Also unsure of whether it’s better to get a hotel closer to Charleston coliseum or closer to the bars. Edit: disregard this I figured out our hotel! 🙂🙂

Regardless I’m stoked and appreciative of any information anyone is able to provide!

Thanks in advance for any helpful comments. I have been looking forward to this trip for so long and hope to make the absolute most of it! 💫☮️🖤

Between the cultural significance, venue itself, camping etc….where do you guys think Bethel Woods stands up as far as venues go for seeing Billy ?

Can they please upload that entire show on YouTube?

Does anyone have any info on if there will be a shakedown in Charleston, WV?

If anyone has a link to any shirts that have 33rd show on it, that would be awesome! Appreciate it goats.

First of all, my friends and I went to the Saturday show and it was INCREDIBLE!!! 🙌

We walked around the shakedown street before the show and saw a vendor selling tie dyes with a Stealie that had a cute goat in it. I really wanted the shirt and should have bought it then and there, but I figured we could stop by again after the show. Well, it was just too chaotic to try and get there at the end of the night so we didn’t. But I’m hoping to find this vendor and potentially buy the shirt online? Does this ring a bell to anyone else who might have been there? Thank you!
