What's the worst conflict you guys have so far?
Terrible
Wilco .vs. Jim James Portugal. The Man .vs. Two Gallants Noam PIkelny & Friends .vs. Kendrick Lamar Bluegrass Superjam .vs. David Byrne and St. Vincent
Annoying but manageable
Jason Isbell .vs. Calexico Bjork .vs. Beach House Superjam .vs. Weird Al .vs. Mac Demarco
The Wilco/Jim James conflict cuts into the XX a bit as well. Missing Holy Ghost and Tame Impala to catch a full Swans set is gonna be a bummer, but worth it. Baroness into Swans is going to be legendary.

Besides my Weird Al debacle, here are others that are particulary annoying right now:
Grizzy Bear vs. Foals Wu Tang vs. ZZ Top The xx vs. Good-spot-for-Macca JEFF the brotherhood vs. Macklemore Kendrick Lamar vs. Swans White Lung vs. Ed Helms Bluegrass Situation
Does anyone want to be my Billy Idol buddy? He is my top show I want to see, but my husband wants to see Weird Al (that's his top show). We are literally not speaking to one another right now because the fight is so intense.
-When I Hear My Name -Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground -Blue Orchid -Passive Manipulation -Red Rain -Death Letter -My Doorbell -Hotel Yorba -Same Boy You've Always Known -Lovesick -Little Ghost -We're Going to Be Friends -The Hardest Button to Button -Black Math -The Nurse -I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself
Encore: -Ball and Biscuit -Seven Nation Army -Screwdriver
Saturday late night makes me want to hurt somebody but thats really my biggest conflict, i suppose i'll just run around like a mad man. At this point i'm used to the sunday pre closer conflict and i think i'm going to go with the choice i've been making the last 4 years, SUPERJAM BABY(but i need to see like one divine fits song). I suggest skipping Kendrick, especially if you saw him last year which i promise will have been better, his new stuff honestly isn't that great live i saw him last month.
I'm probably one of few but i was actually hoping for tame impala and David Byrne to conflict..all i want is to hear naive melody man...

Lord Huron vs Death Grips I'm going to Death Grips, and seeing Lord Huron open for Alt-J in September The Superjam vs Mac DeMarco conflict is pretty bad as well And I think we can all agree the Beach House vs Bjork conflict is just awful
I figure for Bonnaroo, Animal Collective will be the best show. Porter I'll see at some EDM festival at some point, I'm sure (although I missed him at Ultra, which is why I wanted to see him so bad at Bonnaroo), and I saw Pretty Lights at Ultra as well as another time. I'll have to pass on PL, maybe stop by for a half hour or something. The only thing I'm conflicted about is PL is on Which, which is going to be quacking awesome.
EOTS vs. Boys Noize is terrible. I'll have to stick through EOTS as long as possible, since I've never seen them come close to the southeast.
Wu-Tang vs. Wolfgang Gartner sucks. Considering the bucket list status of Wu, I'll probably end up sticking through them as long as possible. ZZ Top will have to suffer. I really wanted to jam to La Grange too.

It's looking that way. I already bought tickets to an AC show that was cancelled earlier this year.
Same. I was going to see them at UR1, but that festival's promoters skipped town with everyone's money.
I heard Porter's set from Ultra - SNOOZE. I have no problem skipping that. Pretty Lights will go LATE. So, just depends on how long you want to stick it out at Animal Collective but I would imagine that PL will outlast AC.
Really Bad Of Monsters and Men and Passion Pit vs. Earl Sweatshirt (probably the former) Bjork vs. Beach House vs. Comedy Bang! Bang! (most likely Beach House, but maaaaybe CBB) Rock n Soul Superjam vs. R. Kelly vs. Weird Al vs. Mac Demarco (probably Mac Demarco) Sunday evening everything (definitely Tame Impala -> Divine Fits)
Not So Bad Alt-J and Capital Cities vs. Killer Mike (former) Deap Vally vs. Purity Ring (probably Deap Vally for the tent consistency) Local Natives vs. Calexico vs. Charli XCX (foremost) Grizzly Bear vs. Foals (former) Death Grips vs. Portugal. The Man (former) Bustle in Your Hedgerow vs. Empire of the Sun (probably both) Baroness vs. Black Prairie vs. Wild Nothing (probably Wild Nothing)
All in all I am very happy with the way this schedule turned out. With the way many of the mocks had been formed I had consigned myself to missing a few big acts I was looking forward to, such as Local Natives, but this is a relief. And since I've already seen some of the bands that are conflicting (Swans, etc.), this will work perfectly.
and also what the heck is up with that mac de marco slot...ouch AC..OUCH. Wish they'd put him on friday or something. Anybody else wondering whats up with fridays lack of LN on that? I mean i know Pretty lights is great and all, his last set at roo is one of the best i've seen him play and this is sure to be at least as good but..still seems fishy. Hoping for some kinda secret show or surprise announcement..Furthur please?

I will be solo and wouldn't miss Billy for the world. I can rock with you.

Why fight over it? Just go see the shows you want and meet up after. That is what I do with anyone that goes to Roo with me. We rarely want to see 100% all the same shows.... Going to a show alone is not a bad thing, I do it all the time at Roo.

Tell him to grow a pair and get over it. I'll see Billy with you. But fair warning, I will be sneaking off to see a bit of the Super Jam.
Earl Sweatshirt vs. Of Monsters and Men R Kelly vs Superjam Cat Power vs Matt and Kim Bjork vs Beach House vs A-Trak
Suggestions?
Hands down Earl, he uses Flying Lotus as his DJ and tends to show up with other OFWGKTA members, notably Tyler. I never miss a superjam, ever, do you really want to see that entire r kelly set ? I would actually go with cat power but thats because i'm pretty damn tired of Matt and Kim at this point, once was enough.
The last ones a toughy..I'm not a huge bjork fan (don't get me wrong i do like her music) and since its not late night i gotta go with Beach House. I'm really hoping A-Trak plays longer as i can't stand the Lumineers.
1. Portugal the Man. vs Ed Helms Whisky Sour Radio Hour 2. Tosh being in between Of Monster and Men/Passion Pit/Grizzly Bear 3. Having to sacrifice a good spot for Mumford and Sons for The Lumineers
