#1 - Why? I actually think that makes a lot sense. This is his only show he has scheduled that I'm aware of....be kinda odd IMO if it was just a typical hour long daytime set.
#2 - Yes please! That would be an unusual good move by Red Frog/FF.
For some reason, I just can't imagine that KoL would be up against Kudi - maybe because I'm nervous to think it might be an option and then get let down if it doesn't happen haha. By "I don't hate it" I really meant I would dig it a lot. I would choose Kudi in a heartbeat.
Do they usually keep to only EDM after midnight, never rap/hip hop? RTJ would kill a midnight set. Want that so badly.
Last year they had White Denim play a late night set, which I sadly missed because Foo was killing it and then my friend absolutely needed to stop by the camp site in premier to get another pack of cigs before we went to another show so I bit the bullet, also son lux played a late night set Friday, and X ambassadors played a late night set Saturday night.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
I only used the main 5 stages for now, not the coffeehouse or porch. Also I generally only put EDM in the Pavilion, I'm not sure if that's how they'll use it but there are so many electronic acts this year it would make sense.
I have some objective thoughts: -I really don't think BORNS will play a 1:00 spot on Friday - he is getting real popular real quick. -That spot where Morrisey and Awolnation are the only acts playing for that stretch of time on Friday evening doesn't really make sense to me; I'd be surprised if that happened. -Modest Mouse against three other acts all at the same time? Kind of doubt it. -Sylvan Esso is getting a better slot than that 2:45-3:30 on a Saturday afternoon. Same on where you put Tycho (also I'll be pretty sad if Tycho isn't either given a LN or near sunset...) -Switch maybe Andrew MacMahon with Ryn. The chick is good but she has like 4 songs out...even with covers interspersed throughout, I bet they'll give her one of those shorter set options. -Bastille is gonna be paired up against some better shit than that. Or else, as someone already mentioned, perfect nap time!! -I don't hate the Kudi vs. KoL actually, but I don't see it happening.
And then subjectively, I'd be sad about these conflicts/issues:
-Cold War Kids/Jungle/The Kooks all bleeding into one another. There's no way I'm missing Jungle, so that would mean missing the majority of those other two, and damn, for Thursday that's a pretty shitty conflict there. -Citizen Cope vs. Walk the Moon - probably would go for the latter, but I have wanted to see Citizen live for a while too. -Modest Mouse vs Empire. Damn. But I'm already preparing myself for the likelihood that MM is up against something else I want to see too. -I want RTJ in a LN spot, really really badly. Please do this for us, FF. -Saturday post midnight is a snooze goddamn. I'm hoping Aoki is paired against one of the really solid undercard EDM acts, not the effing Chainsmokers.
Love the sunset spot for Kygo. Would be so down to close the fest with Odesza. Thank you for putting KoL on Sunday and Killers on Saturday, where they deserve to be.
Cool, made a couple edits based on what you said. Thanks everyone for the input, you guys know a lot more about these bands and whatnot than I do. As far as Bastille, last year that spot (Imagine Dragons) had Tune Yards and Grouplove in the coffeehouse as the only acts at the same time. I used the same schedule as last year as far as the time slots. For what its worth, last year Girl Talk, Cash Cash, Pretty Lights, White Panda, X Ambassadors, White Denim, Son Lux, and Big Gigantic were the late night acts.

I could see that Bastille spot happening, tbh, but I just really hope it doesn't haha. Some of my "objective" comments were admittedly still influenced by my own subjective taste/hopes/dreams

How accurate are you usually? I was looking at the Gov Ball one I assume you did. Just hoping that Royal Blood doesn't conflict with who you said it did (but I can't remember who now? Efff).

This is the first time I've done it. I based it off of last years schedule and used the lineup order as a general guide of where an act should go (So band X was billed Y last year and played at timeslot Z, etc.). I'm sure some of it will be right but it's a complete guess.

The kooks, Cold War Kids, and Jungle all overlapping like that would make me sad. For Bastille, is that the part where I just go back to the tent and drink as many beers as I can for Foster and the Killers? There's a lot of bands I want to see that follow right after each other, but are at different stages. Like Cage the Elephant to Matt and Kim. Hopefully there's less of that. I'm more about seeing less bands, but being closer to the front than seeing as many as I can, but being in the back. (basically breaks in between bands I want to see) I'm way way into having Snoop and Cudi on the same day. I'd pick Cudi over Kings of Leon and be totally okay with it. It's a job well done, but with yours I'd have a lot of running around and then empty gaps of nothing I want to see so I'm hoping it's not very close.

FWIW, I picked Kid Cudi against KoL based off of Gambino last year being the 2nd highest rap act and billed 12th on the lineup. Kid Cudi is 2nd after Snoop and also billed 12th.
Edit- Also picking Jungle/Cold Wars Kids/Kooks together sucked, but they are billed 41, 25, and 18. Last year you had RAC/Amos Lee/Local Natives in those spots, which were 46, 22, and 18 on last years years lineup respectively.
Seeing the lineup broken out into a schedule gives me anxiety over all the tough decisions that will eventually need to be made.
Yeppppp - same. I've found so much that I like in the undercard though, I know conflicts are gonna happen for me. Pretty bad ones, probably
Also omg that new Mumford and Sons song. Have you guys heard it yet Worst lyrics I've heard in a whileeeee
I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I think it's really really really, did I mention really, bland and boring. I was actually pretty excited that they were going to mix it up and try something new. But this sounds like a really bad attempt at trying to be U2, Coldplay, or New Republic. Now I'm wishing they stuck to their old style.

Yeah, no for sure. That makes total sense. I'm sure yours will be fairly close

If Jungle/CWKs/The Kooks all at the same time ends up being the way it shakes out, I'll be pretty bummed. Jungle all the way though.

We are definitely not the only ones who really dislike it. That shit is bad. Just truly, objectively bad.
Also hahaha, you mean "Old Republic?" Same diff, shitzy band

Yeah my first thought was, "this sounds like a poor attempt to be Coldplay."

I like Coldplay though. I admit after my first listen (2 mins ago) its ok. Not great but not horrible. I don't wanna judge the whole album on the first single. We all know those albums that push out radio pop crap first, and the rest of the album is golden. That's what I'm hoping for
Because the lineup is out and we won't get the schedule for another two months. I'm willing to bet a handful of people came to this thread only to discuss lineup rumors and speculation. Once the lineup was released, those persons stopped posting regularly. Actually, I think it's pretty typical of any festival thread. After the initial excitement/frustration about the lineup passes, there is often a dramatic decrease in activity.
But yeah I get that excitement drops off etc etc. but I guess it is just that I'm not here on this forum just to speculate for a couple weeks then peace out till next year. I enjoy the community aspect of it and the other conversations that spawn from festival related stuff

One of the major complaints I've had over the past 2 years was the availability of water stations. It pretty much sucks. I'm hoping they fix that this year. I wouldn't care if they let you bring in your camelback full, but they make you empty it. I mean, can't you sniff my liquid? It 's obviously just water!!! Seriously though, it's just water, let me keep it and not die.
Post by Jeremy Jamm on Mar 9, 2015 21:49:45 GMT -5
Agreed, the lack of water stations really showed on Sunday. I was in line for about 40 minutes. Between that and the food line wait, it really dampened my mood. I ended up leaving after the USA Portual game.
I feel they have to improve on this. Roo can feed us water with very little problems. If FF is gonna be anywhere near the level of Roo they need to add 2 more stations.
I only used the main 5 stages for now, not the coffeehouse or porch. Also I generally only put EDM in the Pavilion, I'm not sure if that's how they'll use it but there are so many electronic acts this year it would make sense.
cud during kol, chiddy bang during cage, i would cry
Oddly, Firefly had 4 water stations in 2013. Hardly anyone used the one by the Backyard stage that year. It was the only one I went to, and I don't remember ever seeing another person there.
In 2014, they dropped the number of water stations down to 3. I think they'll go back up to 4 this year, or hopefully 5.
Last year, the lines were crazy at the one by the main stage. Lines were usually much shorter at the other 2. I would just keep walking until I found one without a wait.

We camped in GA last year so we used the one over by The Forest Stage. Usually a line but nowhere near as bad as the one by the main stage
