Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers

Nicki Bluhm played Bend’s Alive After 5 series in the Old Mill last year and showcased her heartfelt ‘70s-inspired folk music. Her sophomore album Driftwood was one of 2011’s best.

What to expect:

Beautiful views, relaxed setting, cool people, and awesome music.

When to show up: Gates to the campground will open at noon on Friday, June 22, and the music starts at 1:30 p.m. You can camp until Sunday morning, June 24.

Alcohol Policy:

While alcohol in non-glass bottles is okay in the campground, no outside alcohol is allowed inside the venue. A local beer vendor will be on site and you should support them. After all, they won’t be charging $9 for a pint of Pabst like The Gorge does.

What to bring:

Camp stove/grill: No fires allowed at 4 Peaks
Your best camping meals: Get gourmet! It will increase the fun.

Tent/Sleeping Bag/Air Mattress/etc.: It’s a camping festival, so that means real outdoor living and sleeping.

Layers of clothes: It’s June in the High Desert and it gets cold at night. Be prepared for rain too.

Hand wipes: The term is “Whore’s Bath” and with no showers at 4 Peaks, you better get good at taking one.

Facial Hair: It’s a camping festival, so don’t show up cleanly shaven (ladies that goes for you, too).

Tobacco pipe: no campfires allowed, so one five inches from your face is the best you can do.

Paper straw hat: Your facial hair and tobacco pipe will be lonely without one.

Trash bags: No dumping onsite means “pack out what you pack in.”

Jumper cables: It happens at every camping festival… someone runs their battery down listening to music.

Lots of water: Hydration is key at a music festival. Man cannot live on beer alone.

Cash: See previous info on beer vendor. Plus, you’ll probably want to buy some merch from the bands. You’ll also have to pay an extra $20 if you bring an RV, trailer or large bus.

Essentials:

• Camping Chair

• Refillable water bottle

• Blanket: Waterproof if possible

• Flashlight/lantern

• Sunscreen

• Chapstick

• Toilet paper

What NOT to bring:

Inflatable beach balls:
This isn’t a Nickelback concert.

Your four-legged friend: Bend loves their dogs… but 4 Peaks is not the place for them and you will be turned away if Fido is in your vehicle.

Firewood: Fires are not allowed at 4 PeaksGlass bottles: All glass bottles are prohibited, so stick to cans.

Your non-ticketed friends: No one will be allowed on site without their own ticket.

Intolerance for bad weather: If it rains, just go with it. Whiskey stomping in the mud is a beautiful thing.
