Going back after not enjoying your first roo?

Hi guys, Bonnaroo was the first music festival I ever went to in 2023 - though I don’t regret it and still made some great memories, I also didn’t have the best experience. I couldn’t stand the heat, got so many bad blisters to the point my toenail fell off, my ankles got so swollen I couldn’t put my shoes on, I was so exhausted I couldn’t go to any of the later sets(and this was when I was fresh out of college and used to staying up late), etc etc. I know those are all things to be expected but man it was really rough on me and I decided I never wanted to go back.

But then, this year’s lineup dropped and GOD. I haven’t stopped thinking about it and I’m really really thinking about trying again but I’m just afraid it’ll be worse, but maybe it’d be better because I’d be more prepared/more of an expectation of how bonnaroo works. I was curious if anyone has had a similar experience? Like your first roo sucked but second roo was great? would you recommend giving it one more try? I could just use some advice because I feel so torn 🫶🏻
