It took a couple of years, but eventually word spread and Wakestock received some national attention The festival began to book acts that were known nationally and the festival started to get much press than when it began. Hotel rooms in the city were soon being booked months in advance for the dates surrounding Wakestock.
Now, Wakestock tickets are all gone within a couple of day of being release. Organizers of the festival no that they have a responsibility to ask local groups to sing, even though they could probably get just about any group they want. The organizers of Wakestock have publicly wondered if the event is getting too big and if the festival will soon start to be too expensive for the original fans.
