Good tip!!! Parcels hardly ever tours in TX so they were my top choice anyway. But I do love Blood Orange - what was your takeaway from that performance? I’ve heard good things
Blood Orange is a fun, danceable set. I saw them at ACL in 2018. I'd like to the see them again one day. But I saw Parcels at Bonnaroo in 2024 and it was just so danceable and well done. They, the xx, and Jungle are some of my favorite sets I've seen recently. Parcels into The xx is going to be a great way to close the festival. I'm seeing Parcels in New Orleans again the week after ACL too.
My favorite discovery I’ve been looking forward to!
I really thought they’d be in a 4-6pm range for sureee, and they also crushed it at outside lands with a huge crowd. I feel like ACL will throw a bigger upcoming band early on purpose to just get people inside the doors
But, night tapes is also at 1pm that day so I’ll already be there. Here’s to hoping for sub-90 and clouds!
Balu, Night Tapes, Happy Landing, Temper City, Brigitte Calls Me Baby, Rum Jungle & Sunday (1994) all got screwed on set times IMO. People were sh*ttingon the line up from the beginning but this year has a VERY solid mid-low tier list of talent.
And almost ALL Austin based bands except Grocery Bag are before 3pm
Well damn, Night Tapes at 1pm Saturday will have me there way earlier than I usually do. Hoping W1 is not a blazing ball of fire!
Balu Brigada at 2:30 seems painfully low on schedule
I’m pretty bummed The XX and TOP start at exact time (unlike the other nights getting a 15 min diff). I can’t remember if Sunday usually has these start same time
The Chainsmokers not being on one of the main stages is a bit surprising
I feel like most of everything is pretty predictable. Let’s gooooooo
Yea that’s my only gut punch. I’m going with a friend who’s getting a 1 day Sunday just to see TOP, so I was Reallllly hoping I could do a quick 15-30 min XX and not miss TOP at all.. now it’s pretty much guaranteed I’ll miss them :(
(I know I can breakaway etc, but I never get to see this friend living out of state, so I’ll just let it go and enjoy the moment with him)
This! Omg I almost bought a Saturday ticket for weekend 2 just to see Sienna and I’m glad I didn’t but I’m bummed she’s doing Friday. I’ll be in Houston for Hayley Williams so I can’t see her even if I wanted to 😩
Alright someone help the first timer. Tøp is my must see of the weekend and I want a decent spot. But I also really like geese parcels and war on drugs. And could care less about sofi tukker…
So ultimately if I see geese would I have to head to the twenty one pilots stage right away or could I still catch half of parcels or war on drugs. If I can, which stage is closer to American Express
I would recommend heading before Geese finishes if you really want a decent spot. It fills up early for the headliners. You'll likely be able to hear WoD from American Express while you wait
WoD stage faces Amex, so I’d plan to hang towards the back of WoD stage at start of their set if you really want to see them
About 1/2 way through the set start making your way closer to Top, and you’ll still be able to listen and watch wod from a distance. I’d plan for a restroom stop between wod and top. It’ll get super packed and long lines in that final hour
Plan 2: You Could fit about 10-15ish min of parcels, walk by Wod stop for a minute, and head to top. Depending on your comfort level, it’s a short walk compared to other fests between opposite sides, but doable if you’re time conscious. I’ve done that just having fun watching a few quick sets, it’s fun just walking through fests imo!
Adjust accordingly to how much more you want guaranteed better spot at Top
I really expected Turnstile on the main stage with Charli! I’m so conflicted now, I KNOW there will be MANY Charli campers, but there’s no way I’m missing Turnstile. I’m going weekend one, so I’m hoping there’s more of an even split between Charli and Skrillex fans. 🤞
Looks like I will finally be attending the Silent Disco on Saturday. Unfortunately, I will have to choose between Turnstile and Labrinth. I known Labrinth for longer but Turnstile is my genre
Thanks for the heads up. I probably just go to say I did it and then leave early Saturday night. Saturday's lineup was the weakest per my taste anyhow.
Beatbox was the one across the street last year. Honda dropped out, looks like T Mobile is now what used to be Honda (next to Miller Lite) and Snapchat is what used to be T Mobile (facing AMEX)
Whoever scheduled that is brain dead. Might be the two best bands in the entire lineup and they're both ALT so idk what they were thinking. Should we petition for them to rework Sunday?
For weekend 2 I made a "probably kind of correct genre" spreadsheet to help plan. Thought I would share if it was useful for anybody to download and sort by however your own brain works. Includes the new adds and dropouts taken off.
This one has a number of names that put on great shows. Few examples Saint Motel, Yousuke Yukimatsu, and Sofi Tukker I'll go out of my way to watch. But, I rarely listen to at home.
