They also need to open up the woodlands earlier and I am saying that for safety reasons. When you open the one main gate at 5pm and music starts at 6pm, when do you think the biggest crowd will form? Oh maybe 5pm? If they open the gates at 2pm then have music start at 4pm. If you open the gates at 4pm have music start at 6pm.
Shit, open the gates at noon and just have silent disco and stuff going and then have the first show at 4 pm.
My god, this scheduling is awful. Friday is soooooo overloaded. It's like whoever was responsible wasn't even trying. I'm really looking forward to missing a ton of bands on Friday and boring empty slots on Saturday and Sunday.
I honestly don't know what they were thinking with the clusterfuck that is Friday and how fucking bad Saturday looks in comparison. Sunday is pretty great for me personally, but I'm sure a shit ton of the stuff I want to see Sunday will conflict with each other. Friday is going to be mayhem, no matter what happens - just running to and fro, missing lots of good acts, and having to make a lot of gametime decisions.
Modest Mouse and Cage the Elephant possibly conflicting. Awolnation and Walk the Moon. And then it's like how much do I skip to get close for McCartney. Saturday, i'm going to have to pick between Foster and Cudi, Matt and Kim and Gary Clark Jr.. Snoop Dog to The Killers for Sunday? Talk about two way too different vibes. What da hell. Last year I had maybe only two conflicts. On the brightside, I'm glad they're not selling single day passes.

Yeah, should be a two-hour delay between gates opening and first show at the LEAST. But honestly why not just open around noon or 1 and have all the activities available, etc. etc., then music start around 4 or 5?

Yeah open at noon and have the Beercade, Dogfish tent, Coffehouse, The Market, and Silent Disco all running

This would be ideal, and virtually get rid of any sort of long line from forming the first day with people waiting to get in.

To those asking about a later curfew on Thursday, I think the issue is that it's a residential area so they had to kill the music by midnight.. although I do vaguely remember ending up at The Hub in the North Lot afterwards and I'm pretty sure that the stage area there had music playing so take that as you will.

Its a residential area I get that but how do they get away with it on the weekends? Sunrise sets wont happen but playing till 2am would be quite nice. The Billboard article did mention that if they festival continues to grow they may buy more land.

I'm no expert on this but I'm pretty sure that noise ordinances for weekends have different standards than weekdays, which is why Thursday/Sunday have to cut the speakers a little earlier.

I feel your pain!!
I was really hoping that the day McCartney was playing was going to be the day with the weaker earlier bands. But NOPE! It's the day where they're just going to load up the best of the undercard. Okay, I'm done complaining for today.
I would guess Paul is going to play his usual 3 hour set. Why pay him as much as he costs and then limit him to two hours.
If he does a full 3 hours, I will probably compromise a good spot in favor of staying at the full modest mouse show (I've come to the acceptance phase, quite sure that it will go straight from MM at the second tier stage into Paul at the main one).

Didn't know 3 hours was par for the course with Paul. There's no way I'm watching the whole thing. I'll catch someone before or leave early and go back to get some things in me before Zedd

Blasphemy.
I just don't have the attention span. I really can't imagine sitting through 3 hours of anyone. I've never seen an act of Paul's caliber, all the shows I go to are usually 90-120 minute headlining sets while I assume he and acts of his stature run around 3+ hours on their own tours. It's just not something I'm used to, i know after an hour 45-2 hours I'll have had my fill.

Haha dude I'm totally with you. I will probably leave Macca early and take a pit stop at camp before Zedd...though at Roo last year I did fine with just bringing that kind of stuff in with me, tucked away in my camel bak. But I want to put on glows rave outfit shit that wouldn't be very socially acceptable at Paul's show

I'll probably champion a few rounds of the funnel before I head to Zedd as well. Go back and listen to some EDM and play drinking games before Zedd to transition from music appreciator to belligerent partier haha.

Ohhhh you mean putting liquids things in you. Okay ya, that's harder to sneak in via camel bak - though totally feasible in smaller amounts. I don't want to be drunk for Zedd...

I met both haha. I'm gonna drink and (the other thing), I've had a lot of fun doing so in the past. But it's 2 totally different states of mind for Paul and Zedd no doubt.
What bands do you guys think are going to play right before McCartney? And how early before?
Probably Morrissey on the Main Stage before Paul, and probably Modest Mouse on the Backyard Stage ending right as Paul is starting. If thats the case though it isn't a tremendously far walk between the backyard stage and the main stage.
I plan to be peaking on lsd/possibly candy flipping during Paul and then carrying that right into hopefully a late night Zedd and/or Odesza Show.
Just a friendly warning - try to use code-ish for talking about that stuff. It is obvious what I meant in my post of course (though I guess it could've been what you're talking about, or the natural alternative to it - all three substances are good for EDM shows), but if you don't say the word itself, just better for the forum all around
And as for combining alcohol and the other...I don't really like to. I'll drink hours before then hydrate and then go but don't like to have too much timing crossover. Dehydration is such a risk that way

I try not to tell people how to live their lives, but if you're skipping part of Sir Paul McCartney's set so you can go back to camp and get drunk/high before Zedd's set, you're doing it wrong.

Like I said, I'm not watching 3 hours straight of anyone. Just too long for me. For me it's a choice between being uninterested for an hour or preparing myself for the next act, easy choice for me.

I personally plan to maybe skip like 20 minutes. Of three hours. That's enough Sir Paul for me - call me out for that alllllll you want, it is just how I ~*feel*~
