Slip-N-Slide Shenanigans!

For your enjoyment, Backwoods will be introducing a 100-meter Slip-N-Slide for the first time ever. All avid festival goers know the heat can be unbearable at times so Backwoods has you covered! The 100-meter slide will take each person on a journey through all 4 of the elements; earth, air, fire and water and will end with a splash in the ranch’s very own 15-acre lake. The Slip-N-Slide will be free for all attendees and it will run during daylight hours for your amusement! Along with this attraction we’re including more water inflatables than in the past to guarantee a magical time for everyone. Besides all the exciting new improvements, we will also have some recurring activities like our co-ed water volleyball tournament and pool access will be available for VIP ticket holders. Even bringing your own hammock to string amongst a nearby tree is an option for relaxation between sets. This years Backwoods Music Festival is inevitably going to top the previous years so don’t forget your swimsuit and sunscreen for a blissful 3 days on the ranch.
Backwoods Goes Cashless
This year at Backwoods, we’ve decided to take a step into the wonderful world of technology. No longer will we sit in the dark ages of paper money and coins. Backwoods is going completely cashless! This year, you’ll use your wristbands to pay for everything you need. No, it’s not magic or voodoo or aliens. It’s all in the chip!The RFID chip in your wristband, the part that you scan when you enter the festival, is also going to be scanned when you make your purchases at any vendor or merch booth. The chip will be read, you’ll have to enter in the PIN you create, and the money will be taken out of your account. This will save everyone time and will make transactions so much faster. Instead of waiting in line, you’ll be able to see more shows and have more fun!You’ll have to set up an account when you register your wristband so that you’re not stuck without any spending money while you’re on the ranch. Backwoods is going completely cashless, so the only way you’ll be able to make purchases is with your wristband. No worries, though! It’s a safe and secure system that is easy to use. No one can spend your money but you! The company handling the cashless RFID system for Backwoods this year is Intellitix, the largest and most reputable company in the business that handles cashless payments for the largest festivals around the globe.We are so excited for this update, and we know you’ll love it too! Who want’s to carry around cash, anyways? Nobody likes “that guy” at the front of the line counting out his pennies to pay for his stuff. Luckily, there wont be any of “those guys” this year. It’s just a quick scan and go! So don’t forget to set up those cashless accounts when you register your wristbands this year!
Treehouse Stage (The Meadow) Under Construction
The Treehouse Stage in The Meadow at Backwoods Music Festival is under construction and on its way to reality. It's coming together nicely and even since this video was shot more progress has been made framing the roofing and walls. Artists will perform on this stage with one side acting as their performance platform and the other a completely enclosed Green Room. The Treehouse is 1,000 SF (large enough to be a real house) and spans almost 100' with the bridge connecting the two halves. Artists will walk from the Green Room across the bridge to the performance platform giving the audience a chance to scream and cheer for them as they make their entrance into view. Take a look at this video showcasing the treehouse under construction.
Poi Towers
The Poi Towers at Backwoods Music Festival will be one of the most talked about new additions to the festival this year. The producers are adding three large cubes (with ladder inside and trap door on the top) that performers can enter, climb up, and perform on top of.The area will consist of three distinct towers, all of different heights. The first 8' high, the second 12' high, and the third 16' high, allowing you to see the performers in the middle of the crowd from a distance across the large Midway field.
Each 12' x 12' platform at the top of the towers will house many different performers throughout the weekend, while the sides of the towers will be painted live during the day by some of Backwoods' live artists, including Jamie Whitlow of Tennessee. The live painting aspect will help transform and bring to life these amazing towers as the weekend goes on.Executive Producer, Will Royall stated in an interview last week, "We want to make sure there is focus on the non-musical performers at Backwoods as well, since they add so much to the experience of our attendees. We knew to do that this year we had to create their own special environment. Something designed for the performers much like a stage is designed for the musicians. These towers were just the thing to lift them into the air drawing attention, while giving some of our live artists a large canvas to express themselves as well."Poi Workshops will be held daily at the base of the towers for anyone who's been interested in learning Flow or Poi. Additionally there are meet-ups in the evening, right after dark at the base of the towers, for anyone at the festival who has any form of Glow Poi to join and help create a poi gathering spectacle never before seen at an event. With the mass amount of Glow, LED Poi and LED hoops going on at the base, and the top of the towers with fire poi performers, it's truly going to be a sight you don't want to miss. You can find the workshops schedule here. 
You can also order your own set of GloFX LED Poi Balls on the Backwoods Website for the workshops and meet-ups. If you want to save on the shipping charges, you can select to "pick up at the festival" and they will be waiting for you at the merchandise tent. If you'd like, you can order them here.
