A James Blake show mainly depends on the audience around you (I encountered shitheads at the one club show I saw of his, while witnessing him with a perfect festival crowd as well).
Friday POND vs Sir Sly Tash Sultana vs 6lack - leaning Tash Jack White vs James Blake - leaning Jack
Saturday Jay Elec vs Moses Sumney - leaning Moses
Sunday Kali Uchis vs Margo Price (I did see Kali at Coachella, and she was awesome so I wouldn't mind round 2) Khalid vs Third Eye Blind nostalgia
I'd go:
Pond Tash James Blake Moses Kali 3EB
Moses/Jay is a tough one. I loved Moses' album from last year and he's good live, but his music is best suited for small clubs, late at night. Jay also seems like a less frequent booking, so there's that element to it. Sumney is booked for the American Eagle tent stage so that should help his ambiance, however I'm getting the distinct feeling that a certain crowd is going to be camping AE most of the day for BROCKHAMPTON. So it would suck to be watching a set with quiet, sensitive music be loudly talked over by the After-Prom Party scene. I've seriously changed my mind on this one multiple times per day. Still leaning, Moses.

I'm going...
POND - I'm a huge Tame Impala fan, so the connection there makes this an easy one. Tash Sultana - I've heard she's really good live. Jack White - I mean, it depends what you're into, but his performance at Warsaw last month was fucking sick.
Moses Sumney - this is a tough one and I could easily go the other way.
Margo Price - I'll admit I'm not much for Kali Uchis, so that's just personal preference. Third Eye Blind - I'm old, and the nostalgia factor is going to be fun. I could see this being a good set for sitting on a blanket and chilling with my friends.

James Blake closing a stage at a festival after dark seems like the best possible scenario for seeing James Blake at a festival. Everyone who is at that set will want to be there. If he was playing right before Post Malone or some shit than ya, not the best.
I somehow managed two tickets... now just need to figure out how I'm getting there
Not sure where you are based but there are plenty of ways to get there if you don't have a car.
i'm in new hampshire but used to live on long island, more so just figuring out if i want to drive there and back or stay over somewhere haha. the amtrak and bus times aren't working in my favor

I recommend staying over if you can find an AirBnB nearby. You can probably get a decent rate around $150/night.

I saw him at Webster Hall in 2016 and was towards the back near the bar. People would NOT shut up which was infuriating given the type of show it was. On the flipside, I saw him at Music Hall in 2011 and it was excellent.
We're in the period when I have to constantly say to myself, "Hey, idiot, remember that weather reports this far out aren't very accurate at this time of year," and just try to relax about it all. My success rate with that is...varied.

I think its pretty good. About what youd expect. As far as her one tweet ripping stereogum, I get it. Dude wrote an article trashing them and then like pinned it on his twitter? Like thats something to be proud about? Way too often people think hating on something makes them like cool or interesting. It's alright not to like something, but at a point when you make that your whole schtick, you're just being an asshole.

Glad that you like it, but I feel that Mayberry's defensive tweet was meant to distract from the record getting the worst reviews in their career.
Stereogum's review was also tame AF, not offensive whatsoever.
