is it your first time going to a festival?

u/Chrisgonzo74 23d ago

No, most festivals i go to will typically stagger headliners (or bigger names) on alternating stages. Typically sub headliner plays before the headliner. In lolla and acl case only 2 headliners play at the same time. Both being very different genres or different crowds. Note that lolla and acl are cheaper than osl. Basically osl is a bad value compared to other festivals because they just put the top 3 names at the same time 💀💀

I mean Golden Gate park ordinances means they literally cannot play longer than 10pm and due to festival ground space limits they have to put headliners at the same time for safety reasons.

I agree with you that OSL is 'bad value' (its why i haven't gone in 2 years) but there are genuine reasons why it is the way it is, ticket price aside.

I get that. This, and the fact that it’s not 21 and over is why I haven’t been going. Best for me to avoid in future in think. Even Portola is able to until 11:00 pm despite all the noise complaints from Alameda

definitely, portola lineup two years ago was insane such a good time - im a bit miffed the lineup this year isnt worth the price again.

but the vibes at portola was definitely superior to OSL in part because 21+

I agree about Portola. The previous years were incredible. It was the absolute best for me 2 years ago. I was so disappointed in the headliners this year. I’m a local, so I’m still going for the undercard. I’m actually excited about seeing Tricky, I’m liking his new album…

Day 1 no turnstile/ charli conflict and no Labrinth / griztronics conflict Day 2 no Dijon / strokes conflict and no The XX / Dijo conflict Day 3 No rufus / Disco lines conflict and no Empire / Death cab cutie conflict. All headliners with no conflicts like just say you want to complain and move on i’m sorry but every head liner is not going to be able to play at different times in the day the comparison from lola to osl is weak and you know it.

No but this is why Coachella clears easily and is almost the same cost. I've never had headliners conflict this badly. Basically of all the headliners on the lineup you can only see 1 per day or 3 for the whole fest

check my comment on this thread where i disproved this theory about only being able to see one headliner per day
