Modest Mouse - saw them last night and was hoping that then that'd make me feel okay about potentially missing their set due to conflicts at FF....but nope, just made me really really motivated to see them again.
Yeah Modest Mouse was amazing live the one time I saw them and another reason they're tough to miss is how varied their setlists are. If you check out the setlists from their past 5 shows, they're all completely different selection and order of songs. And pretty much every show has a song or two that they played at that one and not the others. I love that you never really know what songs you'll get at their show and there's always a good chance you'll get an awesome one you didn't expect they'd play.
I'll be honest - cannot stand MM. Out of the acts I know, probably one of my 3 least favorite. To me, their music is just so bland, and I'd rather listen to an iPhone alarm for an hour straight than their singer's voice. I know a lot of my friends love them, but even if it means I get stuck solo for a few hours I absolutely will avoid their set at all costs.

Everyone is of course entitled to their own opinion, but this breaks my heart to read. One of your three least favorite on the bill?! But Isaac is such a fucking genius

So these are some acts that I have no desire to see at FF. Feedback please! I'm all ears.
Skip list.
Bastille- I'm all for cheesy mainstream pop/rock, but to me this is just overbearing. I love songs full of emotion, but I mean the whole album is so monotonous. The lead singer's voice puts me to sleep, and the emotion he puts through a majority of these songs sound forced and whiny. I can't get into them at all, but all my friends who have seen them say they are amazing live. Thoughts on my sentiments/my friends sentiments?
Echosmith- This is one of the most annoying bands on the lineup. They sound like a poor man's Chrvches. Not a fan of the lead singer's voice, and the songs are so mind numbingly shallow and uninspired.
Charli XCX- I have yet to see a pop act perform good live. I saw Icona Pop at Lolla 2013, and my goodness what a let down. Next to no energy, and poor vocal delivery. Sam Smith is probably the best pop artist I've ever seen live. I've seen live videos from Charli XCX, and it looks like a set up. Lots of top notch choreography, but no true talent vocally. Part of me wants to go just to see if pundits are being honest about her live show, but ankit her part is like avoid at all costs. Dig her songs, but don't want to be underwhelmed again by a pop star haha.
Steve Aoki- Wow. I mean just wow. This EDM act is oozing with cheese. My friends all told me you're gonna miss one hell of a show. I don't like this guy's music, he seems so deutchey. From the few video's I've seen, his light show doesn't seem that creative either. Bassnectar is my favorite EDM act live, and IMO nothing has rivaled a nectar set! So I'm avoiding Aoki at all costs, and I really hope they don't put Chainsmokers vs Aoki on the same night, because then I won't have anyone to see. Two equally cheesy acts with no substance.

I'll be seeing her at Gov Ball as long as the conflict isn't bad, so I'll let you know. I'm like Alan Arkin in Little Miss Sunshine, I got no reason to lie to you.

We've talked about this before somewhere in the 100's of pages previously - Bastille does put on a really good live show. I think I said that they perform like they give a shit that there's people paying to see them. His mashup of Rhythm is a Dancer and Rhythm of the Night (Of the Night) is really fun live, along with No Angels (No Scrubs) and the show is definitely good. Would I put them on a must see list if you hate the music? Obviously not, but if you like pop/indie rock, they certainly will have enough energy to carry you through the set. I saw them at SweetLife and GovBallNYC last year - and have no complaints at all. They were certainly way better live than Imagine Dragons, IMHO.

One of the things I notice about when people talk about MM is how varied the opinions are. They range from love, hate and everything in between.
I only saw them at FF 2012 and while they weren't "terrible" per se' it just felt like the were phoning it in. No energy or urgency. I was kind of nodding my head and singing along to myself, but part of me just kept waiting for something to happen that never happened. I eventually just kind of wandered away. I'm gonna give them another shot this year though, because overall I do like their sound.

I don't feel strongly about convincing you into seeing any of these, I mostly agree with your sentiments. I'm not a big Bastille fan at all but have heard that they put on a great live show. I'll probably be there barring conflicts because one of my friends who I'm going with really loves them, but if there's something good conflicting, I'll just meet back up with him later. I feel you on the forced and whiny thing.
I saw Echosmith a few weeks ago because it is a $20 show at the 930, so I figured why not. Band is young and full of energy, songs sound good live. I enjoyed it but don't feel particularly compelled to see them again unless nothing else is going on at their set time.
Don't have an opinion on Charli XCX really. BUT in regards to live pop performances, I do want to argue for people going to see Tove Lo and Ryn Weaver. Tove is fantastic, such a warm stage presence and adorable accent and fun little dance moves, and her voice translates very well into live shows. I haven't seen Ryn yet, but from videos I've seen, she sounds great live, too.
Please do skip Aoki. Just about everyone on this thread plans to do so. Nectar is super great live, and you're correct - Aoki will absolutely pale in comparison. I feel like the people who say "omg Aoki's show is great, you have to go" are not those who really listen to quality EDM music or go to many EDM shows, so they don't have much from which to base comparisons. And Chainsmokers is bad too, but given the choice, I would go to them over Aoki for sure.
Inforoo should have a planned meet-up at somewhere, anywhere, while Aoki is doing his shit. I'm glad we are mostly all united in our Aoki disdain

Don't know if I'd compare to Icona Pop considering the only reason most people cared about them at all was because they had one hit song that Charli gave them because it didn't fit the vibe of her first album. Feel Charli has a lot more substance.
Also only time I saw Charli was at Roo 2013 when she played The Other Tent at like 2pm and the crowd was really small. It was a pretty killer show though and felt she performed her music well live. Also she pulled out a cover of I Want It That Way which the crowd was loving. Don't know if her live shows have dropped off since she's become a bigger name/with her new album/etc. but I am pretty excited to see her again.

Yes, they're a very polarizing band for me. Absolutely cannot stand and one of a very, very few number of acts I will refuse to give a chance live.

I'm definitely seeing Ryn Weaver and Tove Lo. Also Broods, she reminds me of Lorde who was incredible live. Just started listening to Halsey too. Not gonna lie I like that "Kanye" song by Chainsmokers haha. I will give them that. I really hope Rustie or Kygo get a LN though, or Tycho. Man those three are fantastic.

I'd be down to meet up with you guys for a few sets. My group is almost 95% going to Echosmith and Bastille, so I'll wander. I'll see Charli XCX barring any major conflicts. So for those that are familiar with Big Data, the main singer is also apart of Joywave. Joywave will be in the area that weekend, man I hope they get added. I'm from Rochester, and I used to hang out with those guys all the time. I told them "you guys will be the next Foster the People" about 3 years ago, and viola. They are blowing up haha.

Quick question, when did most of you start/stop listening to The Chainsmokers? I'm trying to understand all of your frame of references for categorizing them as "cheese."

Broods is absolutely amazing - will definitely be at that set. I wouldn't even put them in the Ryn/Tove/Charli pop category though; they're much more Banks/MS MR ish. Pretty much the entirety of Evergreen is fantastic, really really pumped for their set.
When might we get schedule hints or some reveals of day by day, or do they just drop the full-on schedule at some point pretty close to the dates of the festival and that's it?
As for the Chainsmokers...idk, I admittedly haven't listened to them a lot. I'm 100% consumed in this Kendrick album right now haha but if you wanna throw me some suggestions of what to check out later by them, I will gladly do so

The only song I can recommend by chainsmokers is "Kanye." That one really isn't that bad. A majority of the others are laughably bad and cheesy.
I think The Chainsmokers do their best work on remixes (Jealous by Chromeo, Wonder by Adventure Club, Like a Drum by Guy Sebastian are all songs they remixed I'd recommend). They're cheese don't get me wrong, but songs like Selfie don't sum up their style. I really enjoy their remixes and will probably see them.

I really enjoy their new song that came out earlier this month. Let You Go? Pretty good stuff, as for #SELFIE, I think it's hilarious.

Songs/Remixes I like by The Chainsmokers:
Jónsi - "Around Us"
Two Door Cinema Club - "Sleep Alone"
Little Daylight - "Overdose"
Daughter - "Medicine"
Say Lou Lou - "Julian" (my personal favorite)
ASTR - "Operate"
Smallpools - "Dreaming"
Fenech-Soler - "Last Forever"
Cash Cash - "Take Me Home"
The Wanted - "We Own The Night"
NONONO - "Pumpin Blood"
Icona Pop - "Girlfriend"
Mikky Ekko - "Kids"
The Chainsmokers vs. Tove Lo - "Habits" (Extended Mix)
Chainsmokers>Aoki, absolutely - all day, any day. Some of their beats are groovy and catchy, I could get into a live show I'm sure. But I'm not attached to seeing their set, either. Fairly neutral. As opposed to the negative feelings I have towards Aoki

Guy Sebastian - "Like a Drum"
Anna of the North - "Sway"
Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne - "Real Love"
...So what, I like "cheese."
Okay, I've realized what my mistake was - I was listening to their Spotify shit which is VERY limited. Listening to some of these now on YT, and I'll update on the ones I really like, but already I'm digging even just the first few

Great list -- The Chainsmokers' strength is in their indy/alt remixes (and definitely not their own "Kanye" or "Selfie")
I get it, it's easy to call this stuff cheese because these guys aren't playing instruments. But The Chainsmokers are very talented producers and throw a hell of a party. I don't think it's fair to lump them in with Aoki who relies on ghost producers and still produces trash.
Firefly responded to a post over the weekend that they hope to post a day by day schedule in the "near future".
But of course with Redfrog, "near future" could mean anything from one week to one month to 6 days before the festival begins...
After listening to some of those recommended Chainsmokers remixes, I would liken them to Zedd - who may be considered cheese, but I still love to dance around to their music and am excited to see their FF show. I'll probably be at CSers if nothing else compelling is on at their set time

Yeah, for some reason The Chainsmokers are one of those DJs that is better to search by song, instead of by artist on Spotify.

I'm enjoy many of the Chainsmokers remixes, some of which I've certainly heard before but didn't connect that it was theirs. I take back my comparisons of CSers to Aoki! I was wrong

I'm going to check out that set when I get a chance tonight.
With the set times being much shorter than what The Chainsmokers are used to and with the overall crowd not being EDM specific, I really hope they go with an "old school" set...Meaning primarily their best older indie/alt remixes, a little of their new stuff (Kanye, Sway, Real love), and intermittent trap drops to keep us on our toes.
