Which to choose? The Pro-Life Music Fest is free, with only $5 a person camping. Cornerstone is Cornerstone, but personally I can’t stand the -port-a-potty’s and the dusty dirt roads. Lots of walking, and really, no air conditioning (which is nice to have a bit of after standing in the sun).
Lifest has nice (lit) washrooms, you don’t seem to get as dirty nor are there as many bugs (because there’s hardly any greenery). The main building does have air conditioning (and is a good place to cool off once and awhile). Lifest doesn’t have the late night “dance club” though, but it does have funny Christian comedians-like Thor Ramsey. The food stands are about the same in both places. The price of the two w/camping comes out to about the same. If you don’t want to camp at Lifest, you don’t have to pay for that. For both, you can also buy day tickets (but then the price seems to come out higher).
As for the Pro-Life Music Fest, I haven’t been there yet, so I don’t know the inside story of how it all adds up. I think though, this year I’ll find out.
