When bands conflict or play early, what call do you make? How early do you get there and how do you chose one over the other? Here are some videos to help make that call.
Thursday
Do we get there early or not? Joyce Manor comes on at 515. And they’d be fun. Patti Smith is on at 605. She’s a legend and while she doesn’t rock you can argue she was the first punk. But do we need to be there for them? While it would be nice there isn’t a need to scramble the first night….as long as we make Alkaline Trio at 710. Remember this is a bonus.
Friday
Friday is full of conflicts. First off there is a band at 110 that we might want to see…The Sounds. Following that Radkey at 215 is a must (just ask Dave Grohl).
But there are also conflicts….Anti-Flag or Living Colour. Thrice or The Lawrence Arms or Sublime. Circle Jerks or Dirty Heads. Pumpkins or NOFX.

Thice v The Lawrence Arms v Sublime
Circle Jerks v Dirty Heads
Smashing Pumpkins v NOFX
Saturday
Joywave is a popular AltNation band and plays at 125. The Bronx are hardcore thrash at 130. After that Beefcake and GWAR are on a 245.
But GWAR is up against Les Savy Fav. Other than that it’s a pretty straight day but would I consider missing Rancid for Faith No More?

Sunday
Mother Mother at 2pm is really really good followed by Kyles new favorite in K Flay at 250. Seems like we need to start at 2pm.
But Sunday has one of the bigger conflicts…Body Count v Fever 333 v The Clockworks (on the small stage). Mr. Bungle up against Thursday is a coin flip. Devo vs Knuckle Puck is a no brainer. Same no brainer for Slipknot vs Lou Malnatis.
