I just highlighted 40 artists that I'm going to try and catch over the weekend. About 10 of them I will either have to split the sets in half or suck it up and miss some of them. I still have no clue what to do about my Band of Horses/Camera Obscura conflict. Those were two of the bands I was looking forward to most.

Yeah, I hear ya on that one peatrick. I guess that's the double-edged sword with festivals. They're a great value and a ton of great bands but inevitably it results in a bit of disappointment because there's always conflicts. I wish that some of the bigger bands played earlier to help alleviate that but I guess it just doesn't work that way.

I'm somewhere between 25 and 30 right now. I'm trying to cut down on splitting sets so it will be closer to 25. I just have to spend the next few weeks debating between Band of Horses and Camera Obscura (probably go with Obscura because I'm going to be at Bigfoot for the New Pornographers) and the conflict of Japandroids and Dr. Dog, which is giving me the biggest headache right now. But 25 seems very reasonable to me.

Sat. - MMJ, The National, BSS, Portugal, The Man, Mumford and Sons
Sun. - Booka Shade, Massive Attack, Pavement, LCD, They Might Be Giants, Local Natives, Caribou
Man. - Ween, Band of Horses, Passion Pit, Drive By Truckers, The Heavy
I will also be seeing VW and MGMT due to wanting spots for MMJ and Ween, but I'll choose to not count them cuz I hate them.

27 for me if everything works out in the end...but you never know until you're there.
After a 12.5 hour long drive on Friday I'm glad to see that my Saturday starts in the mid afternoon, unless anyone can suggest a must-see act before Mumford & Sons...otherwise:
Saturday: Mumford & Sons, Portugal The Man, Edward Sharpe, The Posies, 1/2 The National, 1/2 The Hold Steady, Vampire Weekend, MMJ and Deadmau5.
Sunday: Langhorne Slim, Local Natives, The Long Winters, TMBG, Cymbals Eat Guitars, The XX, LCD, Pavement, Public Enemy, Massive Attack.
Monday: The Heavy, Drive-By Truckers, Dr. Dog, Japandroids, Band of Horses, MGMT (sheer curiosity), The New Pornographers, Ween.

Saturday - Dawes, Brother Ali, Mumford & Sons, Portugal. The Man, Edward Sharpe, The Posies, running to catch the last half of BSS, The National, Vampire Weekend (possibly running to catch the last half of Nada Surf, then running back and trying to find a place to watch MMJ), Deadmau5
Sunday - Caribou, Local Natives, They Might Be Giants, Kid Cudi, Freelance Whales, The XX, LCD Soundsystem, Pavement, Massive Attack
Monday - The Heavy OR Shadow Shadow Shade, Phantogram, Drive By Truckers, Passion Pit, Japandroids, Mountain Goats/No Age, Band of Horses, New Pornos, Ween
Monday is a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be. and I realize now that I probably won't see any comedy at all.

Sat: Mumford & Sons, Portugal. The Man, Edward Sharpe, Patton Oswalt BSS, National, Vampire Weekend, MMJ.
Sun: Caribou, Local Natives, Tallest Man on Earth, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Avi Buffalo, The XX, LCD Soundsystem, Pavement, Massive Attack. Maybe some Public Enemy.
Mon: Still undecided. Definitely seeing the Heavy. Is Past Lives even worth checking out? Haven't decided between Temper Trap/SRO/Phantogram/Todd Barry. Probably go with Bobcat over DBT. Then Dr Dog, at least partially. Then its the clusterfuck of some of my favourite bands all playing at once (She & Him vs. Mountain Goats vs. Japandroids/ No Age... FML) I'd really prefer to see whole sets and be fairly close to the stage so I won't be walking around catching bits of each set. I'll probably go with MGMT over New Pornographers since I'll probably see them in the summer. I'd really like to see/dance around to Boys Noize, but really, when am i ever going to get to see Ween again?
So, in conclusion, 22-25 bands, 2 or 3 comedians.

That conflict is one of the ones I'm having the most trouble deciding on.

Some of these overlap, but that's because I'm still undecided or plan to catch half of each set.
Saturday: Dawes > Morning Teleportation > Fool's Gold > Mumford & Sons > Portugal. The Man > Edward Sharpe > Broken Social Scene > Miike Snow > The National > The Very Best > Vampire Weekend > My Morning Jacket > Deadmau5
Sunday: Caribou > Langhorne Slim > The Tallest Man on Earth > Cymbals Eat Guitars > Avi Buffalo > Freelance Whales > The XX > LCD Soundsystem > Yacht > Dirty Projectors > Massive Attack > Booka Shade
Monday: The Heavy > Mayer Hawthorne > Yes Giantess > The Temper Trap > Phantogram > Bobcat Goldthwait > Passion Pit > Japandroids > The Mountain Goats > Band of Horses > Camera Obscura > MGMT > Neon Indian > Boys Noize
