I'm not devastated that I will miss some of RHCP to see Augustines, but it's the fact that it will take forever to walk from What Stage to the Miller Lounge, during headlining time.
I'm so glad i'm not alone in wanting to see We Are Augustines! I was thrilled when I got the email that they were added to the lineup.
OKAY. My biggest Conflicts:
Friday: Avett Brothers - Fitz & The Tantrums (I've heard Fitz is incredible live) Feist - Trampled by Turtles (i'll probably try to slip into Turtles' set on Saturday after I catch Bad Brains, because I really do not want to miss Feist.)
Delta Spirit - Fruit Bats (Fruit bats win out. Unless someone can convince me otherwise.) War on NO NO WORD!!! - The Antlers (I NEED to see The Antlers. Sorry WOD) Joy Formidable - Kurt Vile - Bon Iver (OMFG. Whaaaat?) Bon Iver - The Shins - Fun. - The Civil Wars (I'll ditch civil wars and fun. to see the f*cking SHINS.... but i really want to see allll of their set and ALL of Bon Iver.)
Quack. I guess I'll need to get a head start on my cardio, because i'm going to be running all over the place?
How are you guys going to pull off running between sets?
Sunday, bloody Sunday:/ Bon Iver -Ben Folds 5 Shins-Young The Giant-fun.-The Civil Wars No idea what I'm going to do!
THIS! This is the only conflict I think truly blows (the other ones I have aren't as bad, and it's not like conflicts are unexpected). That's not counting Kenny Rogers either (who I was thinking of catching for at least a bit, maybe for The Gambler).
What really gets me about this is my luck with Young the Giant. See, I always have really bad luck with seeing them, as I have now missed out on three chances to see them, two of which were events I had tickets to! First time was opening for Incubus, in which I missed them because I was a part of contest where I ended up winning a copy of their new album on vinyl in addition to upgraded tickets.
Then they were at this big concert the local alternative station throws on every year (which fun., The Joy Formidable, Grouplove, and Foster the People all also happened to be at). I actually won tickets to this, and was so psyched to go... until I found out I had one of my finals at 3 in the afternoon the same day, so I had to miss ALL of those bands (other than FtP). Then they came here last March, and was down to go... until Metal Alliance rolled through and had like six bands I had never seen.
So you see, I'm determined to see Young the Giant on principle alone. However, The Shins pretty much never come to Florida, so I don't know if I'd get another chance (and I don't like them enough to pay to see them). I like YtG more, but I feel like there will be another chance to see them since I'm sure they aren't going away anytime soon (although knowing my luck, something will get in the way of my next chance to see them). And none of this is counting Bon Iver as well (who I just want to see part of).
So yeah I hate this conflict. I pretty much can't see the entirety of any of the bands without missing some pretty much entirely.

I have been invited to crash in a RV with AC. My biggest conflicts are Charles Bradley(Sat.) and Gary Clark Jr. (Sun.) playing at 1pm, that conflicts with my sleep and Dumpstaphank needs longer than an hour long set.
Turtles are, actually quite sexy, if you think about it. I’m getting an erection just thinking about turtles. No, not a stripper named turtles, that’s not funny. Actual turtles.

Alabama Shakes Vs. Big Gigantic Vs. MiMOSA: I understand that the Shakes and one of the other two need to conflict but I really don't see why Big Gigantic and MiMOSA need to be at the same time. I hope Big Gigantic plays late.
Black Star vs. Major Lazer: This one is almost impossible for me to figure out. The tents will be too crowded to move in between the sets. I have no clue what to do during this one.
Beach Boys vs. War on NO NO WORD!!! Vs. City and Colour: A band who I will never get to see again, a band who has the best current album or a singer that is my favorite to listen too right now. Terrible
Shins vs. Young the Giant vs. Fun.: I don't really have a problem seeing Young the Giant here

Am I going to have to sit through Major Lazer to get a good spot for UM? I know I will have to leave The Word early but would like to catch at least most of that show.
delta spirit and fruit bats, its a shame that my conflicts are earlier in the day, seems like they couldve worked that out since they so similary. Oh and rhys darby playin 3 times, during fruit bats, beach boys and floggin molly. Might just skip Molly.. boo.
Anyone know if I can get a comedy ticket for Rhys Darby earlier in the day and then show up later with a guarenteeed entry?
It depends on what the ticket looks like for each show. If you get in line for a ticket for one of his earlier shows, and then they're using the same ticket for a later show of his, you'll be good. They won't give you a ticket for a show other than the exact one your line is for though.
"In the darkness hundreds of glowsticks streaked the air like tracer shots in war. Giant inflatables bounced over dozens of light sabers pointed skyward. Stuffed animals impaled on sticks danced above the hot crowds, puppeted by someone just given ecstasy by a friend made seconds before."

This is what I would suggest:
1) Alabama Shakes - They will be a great way to kick off the festival on Thursday....and they KILL IT live!
2)NO BRAINER - BLACKSTAR! You will kick yourself for years to come if you go see Major Lazer over the Blackstar show.
3) Beach Boys - They are a classic band that wont be doing this for too much linger, you would have to pay serious coin to see them at a normal venue in your home town and its going to be a fantastic afternoon atmosphere to see these guys. The war on NO NO WORD!!! will continue to tour and tickets will be relatively cheap for these guys. As for City and Colour - DONT DO IT MAN

Flying Lotus vs. Umphrey's was a worst case scenario for me. I could quack a duck I'm so pissed. SBTRKT and Puscifer sucks, too. And they're not LN, which is a crime against humanity. I wish Van Halen never existed

Go to the beginning of FlyLo and the end of Umph. I think it's safe to assume Umph will play till sunrise so you'll have plenty of time to see both.

I wouldn't say it's safe to assume that at all. Although I sure hope so.

After watching some Major Lazer live videos I can now say ML vs. Blackstar. Their show looks like it's going to be a massive party. But man it's Blackstar...
1. St Vincent vs. Rod Y Gab + Radiohead positioning. Seeing St. Vincent close a tent and having seen Radiohead already on Monday will help this choice. Plus FtP seem to be a big enough draw that I won't get terrible spots for Radiohead. 2. Puscifer vs. SBTRKT vs. Santigold. Great job Roo, let's take 3 quality late night acts and put them at 5:30 in the afternoon. I'll see SBTRKT unless the tent is swarmed, then I'll scope out the other two. 3. The Antlers vs. The Beach Boys vs. The War On Dr.ugs. I really wanted to see all of these artists, but Antlers are the only must see. 4. Avett vs. Fitz vs. Little Dragon. Thanks GOD I've seen Avett otherwise this would be much worse, I'll probably see Little Dragon and then move to Fitz.
