So since there is always a few underattended/badly scheduled shows each year, what is one show that you think people will miss that they shouldn't?
My choice is Sir the Baptist. He's Saturday night & unfortunately up against SUPERJAM as well as RL Grime & Migel (and possibly Pearl Jam if they play over which many think they will.) I love his sound and his energy but DAMN, WHAT A BAD TIME SPOT!

THURS: Wet plays during Vulfpeck and Twin Peaks, I'll be at Wet because they remind me of Purity Ring(who I won't be seeing on Friday ). I was going to see them at Lolla last year but they had bad scheduling too, not a lot of people are talking about Wet, but I think they'll be fantastic on a small stage.
FRI: Shamir plays during FIDLAR and Kamasi, and he's added less than these two acts. Shamir is an eclectic R&B act, he's also got dance heavy tracks. He will be a lot of fun.
It seems like this won't be one a lot of Inforooers miss, but be careful. When your friends, significant others, rando you just met try to convince you to check out Macklemore or Ellie Goulding...be strong. If anything, I think a lot of people will miss the second half/end to get good a good spot for PJ.

I had no intention of seeing this before the schedule drop. I'll be there and expect it to be very enjoyable.

Shamir was one of my top 5 acts to see, but it's against fidlar, and fidlar wins. Shamir just makes me want to dance and the live stuff I've watched on youtube looks like a good time! So sad I'll be missing him.

If you have seen Father John Misty perform behind the Honeybear material a few times already, could live with being late to Death Cab, don't mind missing some of Lettuce, and have no interest in X Ambassadors, come to the former Sonic Stage and see Sunflower Bean with the androgynous era Bob Dylan look-alike on guitar.

Shamir has a LONG way to come when performing live. He looks so uncomfortable on stage and doesn't do a great job of projecting his voice.
I'd say The Knocks or Lolawolf will be two acts that will be pretty empty but will end up being great.

Caught Sunflower Bean twice at SXSW Levitation showcases. Good shows, would definitely see then again barring conflicts.
They start out as pretty typical psych-pop, but some almost doomy moments creep in from time to time.
Haven't planned my schedule at all, but imagine there's a good chance I end up at this show.

I know my schedule is crazy, but both lolawolf and the knocks are on my list.
1.) He's up against some popular names which don't compare 2.) Don't let the Superjam sway you from seeing that normal set. It will still be one of the best sets of the weekend and I'd guess better overall than the superjam.

Leon Bridges. Only because he is up against J Cole and Floss but I wouldnt miss Leon if I was going. Also, A bunch of young people are gonna miss out on Tame Impala when they are partying to Zeds Dead and Bob Moses. I would skip EDM that night and flood Tame Impala.

Thursday: Con Brio - Just seems like a fun way to start off a Thursday. Hoping I have camp setup and can get to Centeroo in time. Friday : Dungen - I like Rayland Baxters sound, but Dungen is one of the more rare acts of the festival. Saturday: Claypool Lennon Delirium - The only excuse to miss this is to camp for a good spot for Pearl Jam. I will prob leave about 10 minutes early to beat the rush. Sunday: John Moreland - If you're going in early to see Charley Bradley or Cymande, you should swing by the Bluegrass Tent first and check him out.

Hold up ... You think that TAME is going to be under attended? Bob Moses (who by the way, definitely doesn't classify as EDM) is currently added by close to no one on the app. Meanwhile, tame has the second most out of anyone playing (behind only PJ).

Shamir is a good call going against Kamasi and others. I also think Lucius is suffering with that schedule slot despite being an excellent live act.
See I'm missing Lucius because after Kamasi I could just have a boss spot for Vince. He's my number one rapper this year. "Summertime '06" is a classic IMO.
Blood Orange is a great performer with fairly unique musical style. He's playing pretty late (2am) on Friday and Tame Impala is on at the same time.
I'm not the biggest fan of Tame Impala, so while most people won't be at The Other Tent Friday night, IMHO you should slide over for Blood Orange.
Since he's in the Superjam, I'm not hurting to bad. I saw Tame at Lolla last year, and while a select few thought their set was lacking visually and snoozeworthy. I thought they had a strong 9 song setlist, and was in my Top 3 at Lolla last year behind 1. Florence 2. Metallica. This set LN at Which will be wait for it.....Legendary.

He or she is just saying that "the young people will head to the EDM hogwash of Zed's Dead and Chainsmokers" vs a more mature crowd at Tame. And he's saying to go to Tame over the EDM hogwash. Which makes a lot of sense.
1.) He's up against some popular names which don't compare 2.) Don't let the Superjam sway you from seeing that normal set. It will still be one of the best sets of the weekend and I'd guess better overall than the superjam.
Some people are doubting the Superjam. Superfly/AC have been doing this for years, between Miguel-Blood Orange- and the fact that Kamasi is lead master....this should be nothing short of fantastic. Also who knows who might show up from Vedder(who's playing Saturday), and Chance who in a reddit said "I'll be at Roo this year", and there's always a chance of a Kendrick showing with Kamasi and him having chemistry on his albums. Don't sleep on that jam, but yes I agree Kamasi regular set will be brilliant too.
Henry Wagons is up against basically nothing, but he's an early day Club Stager, so I'm expecting to have the place to myself.
No you should be expecting to have HALF of the place to yourself. I will be there with ya--unless I dawdle at brunch or craft beer reddaroo or some shiz.
Yeah, I guess he's technically conflicting with Brunch for Inforooers. I always miss all but the first few minutes of Brunch because press orientation is so early. With everything starting so late this year, I may go in and back out to Brunch. Will have to see what happens. But Wagons is a must.

I think you meant that a bunch of young people are gonna miss out on Tame Impala when they are partying to Bryson Tiller, The Chainsmokers, & Zeds Dead...
I'll be at Bob Moses and Purity Ring, but I've seen Tame Impala a few times so I'm not bummed about missing it.
