Insane to me that a festival this big gives people under 2 days to plan
To be fair - no other festival has as much excitement from their attendees around their set times and they get that media push a few days before. Nobody minds once they drop - and there was a New Yorker piece in 2017 (?) that says the set times are done when they release the lineup. They reference a spreadsheet that Paul showed them the day the 2017 lineup was released with all acts slotted by time and stage, and mention that the color of each cell gets darker as the day gets later.
Sure some shit gets pushed around (acts cancel, switch days, etc) but it's pretty much done at the outset. We had random ass Zella Day confirm her set time to the exact minute in like the first week after the lineup was released.
Think they just enjoy fucking with attendees and seeing that excitement build + getting the social media push right before the show starts.

If the set times are basically locked in when the lineup is released then it's beyond dumb that they wait until less than 2 days before the fest to release them.

I personally think it’s dumb to wait this long
There’s so many artists on here and I think giving people time to figure out who they want to see would be good. Also gives time people to learn lyrics or songs they usually play as a DJ
A lot of attendees learn about these artists from the lineup drop, myself included
I checked my phone notifications and nearly had a stroke when I saw notifications form Coachella and Daft Punk around the same time. God this is straight up stressful.
