Last year we had 22 acts on the Yeti stage: 7 per day per day, except on Friday when just one played. So far this year there are 27 acts announced for that stage. Of those 27, 3 are confirmed for Friday, 6 for Sunday, and 7 each for Saturday and Monday. Of the remaining 4, how do you all think it will break down? 8 acts per day Saturday-Monday with 3 on Friday or 7 acts per day Sat-Mon with 6 on Friday or maybe some get moved to other stages or what?

Tenacious D is playing Monday, according to pollstar. I know they were already pegged for that day due to process of elimination, but whoomp, there it is.

They keep making changes to the billing order.
Oh, and Gary Clark Jr is now playing the Sasquatch stage.

Yikes! I'm really looking forward to seeing her, I hope nothing happens! Last time I saw her it was right after The Reminder came out and nobody knew the songs yet and the crowd was super not into it. It's too bad 'cause she put on a fantastic show. I saw her at the Hollywood Bowl in 2008 and really enjoyed it. Really want another round and to actually be close to the stage this time.

Updated. Schedule graphic now shows Wolfgang closing. If the real set times are something like this, it would be an exceptional day, getting to take in Charles Bradley->I Break Horses->Todd Barry->Purity Ring->Metric->St. Vincent->Jack White. The only negatives would be having to see tune-yards to get a good spot for St. Vincent and missing Dum Dum Girls to do the same for Metric, but would get to see all my must-sees, so no complaints there.

As much as I wish that made up schedule was right, I dont think Wolfgang will be before Araab Muzik based on their placements both on the poster and the lineup page. Unless they do that intentionally because they know everyone will want to see Jack White. Yeah, that's what I was aiming for. That, and being as close to last year's times as possible. But I can switch them around.Wolfgang is a bigger deal, so it does make sense for him to close.

Is it too soon to start predicting these? Looks like we have enough acts sorted for Saturday to fill it.

I just hope there's something going on at one of the other stages during Pretty Lights.

I really like the song "Shining Bright Despite the Plight" from the album Glowing in the Darkest Night. EDM is hit or miss for me, but I just gave this a listen and I'd be all about a set comprised of spaced out groove sounds like that. However, will he really play that type of music or more like this? Oh dear Xenu, that was horrible.

Little Dragon on the bigfoot, followed by James Murphy in the tent, then The Roots on the bigfoot would be the perfect Sunday night.

Yeah, they are billed a lot higher than the near-the-bottom Alabama Shakes. are you basing that off of the poster? because the lineup page on the website has Alabama Shakes just ahead of the Dum Dums. (the lineup page has undergone a slow evolution since the announcement. the poster, obviously, remains unchanged.) this is, of course, pointless speculation, there is often significant variation between the actual schedule and the lineup, especially when you're talking about second stage. Yeah, I see it now, thanks. Interesting. I hope that does result in Dum Dum Girls playing earlier.

Mogwai should conflict with most of Beck, not whomever plays before him, if it is the D. I'd guess Tenacious D 8-9 Beck 9:30-11:30 versus Spiritualized 7:30-8:30 Mogwai 9-10

That was the problem I've seen, but I figure we'll find out soon enough. Thanks for keeping an eye on that bort! This is the best I could come up with to make all the acts fit that day: Reptar (11:30-12:15) Electric Guest (12:30-1:15) Alabama Shakes (1:30-2:15) Walk the Moon (2:30-3:15) I Break Horses (3:30-4:15) Kurt Vile (4:30-5:15) The Helio Sequence (5:30-6:15) Dum Dum Girls (6:35-7:20) tUnE-yArDs (7:45-8:30) St. Vincent (9:00-10:00) Feed Me? (11:00-12:30)

SaturdayBigfootSt. Vincent (Billions & Sasquatch Leak) tUnE-yArDs (Windish, Billions & Sasquatch Leak) Alabama Shakes (Band Site) Dum Dum Girls (Sub Pop) The Helio Sequence (Sub Pop) Kurt Vile (Band Site) I Break Horses (Windish) Walk the Moon (Band Site) Electric Guest (Windish) Graffiti6 (Sasquatch) Reptar (Sasquatch) Graffiti6 is actually on Sunday, according to the Sasquatch site. So even without Graffiti6, that's ten acts for the Bigfoot stage on Saturday, and I can't see any of them doing the late-night slot, so have to assume that will be either The Roots or the rumored Feed Me, which would make 11. Last year the stage started at noon and closed at 12:30am with ten acts, so this feels like too many. Looking at last year's schedule, does anyone see a way to squeeze in another act on that day?
