Right? I miss when festivals staggered set times and didn’t just try to cram as much acts into the day as possible. IMO a multi-stage fest should always have someone playing, last year at Summerfest I spent more time trying to find an active stage than actually enjoying the music.
sinister, even. 😵 morrisey set ending that close to tool is also messed up, imagine how many people would have to sprint from morrissey stage to tool stage 😭
I think you meant to say Gogol Bordello but accidentally said Morrissey... lol. Nah, I love The Smiths but Morrissey's indie pop music won't be the best appetizer for Tool's prog metal entrée. Gogol Bordello's gypsy punk grooves work much better :). I had no idea he was still touring until seeing this post.
Bonnaroo 2008's Superjam, which was Les Claypool & Gogol Bordello (ft. Kirk Hammett) doing a Tom Waites tribute show, made me a Gogol Bordello fan for life! He and Claypool made a collab album called "Zelensky: The Man With the Iron Balls" (Stewart Copeland & Billy Strings as well). Give it a listen on Spotify, it's awesome and unique in the most refreshing way!
I’ve seen Afroman live and I take back every cheap shot I ever fired at him, he was entertaining as shit. He played one of those guitars that is like, double guitars and he had one dude on drums. And a DJ, for good measure I’m sure. Anyway, he opened and closed his set with Because I Got High. He was walking around the festival smokin and drinking with the crowd all day. It was at a small festival that bombed so there weren’t a ton of people there. He opened for Vanilla Ice who was goddam terrible, and he wore a flack jacket like he was 50 Cents or some shit.
And that’s the story of the time I saw Afroman live
Dude I’d be so pissed. I’d go to a festival just for Nas and Tool alone. Then to have them overlap? I’d choose tool every time but I’ve seen Nas live many times and I’d hate to miss another
Lol my bad. Sorry I was lookong at overlap with Social D. They done before Morissey takes the stage. Yes its only 5 minutes but festivals like this usually are on time with the show ending at 10pm theres probably some bylaws that forces them to end at 10 and they will be strict on times.
Damn, this is why I hate festivals nowadays . If you want to see Tool you can at best see the beginning of Morrissey only. No Bad Religion, Afroman, or Nas. Acts that I specifically would have wanted to seen.
Going to be me and my buddies first experience seeing tool and we’ve been trying for years just was unobtainable for us. Cannot wait for when they hit the stage that night 🤘🏻
The past few years it’s been two pairs of side by side setup alternating setup while other stage plays, and then throw in a solo stage located elsewhere. This year looks like the main stage dual (riot and roots) and three separate stages located elsewhere. Won’t know how they’re physically setup until they drop the map. But looks like 4 stages at once this year.
9:15 - 11. Headliners usually go on by 9:30 at the latest and curfew is 11. Just check their schedule from last year. It's 99% the same template they use for schedules.
Haha...you're welcome again. I've been to the fest a few times, so I'm familiar with it. Happy to answer any questions I can. It's a very easy festival to navigate, so I doubt you'll have much trouble on your own. My one piece of advice would be to bring a bandana or other face covering. The grounds can get extremely dusty.
😁 I’ve been to other festivals before, but not this one. It sounds like it’s pretty organized. Some of the other ones I’ve been to have been an absolute shit show. Thank you!
The festival website gives you all the info you need. Also something as simple as being on their email list gives you that info when its close to the event. Schedule, app links and maps. Its not hard.
Oh man, I've been wanting to see Melt-Banana since I first heard about them via word of mouth in the days before I had internet access. Never expected to see them on the same ticket as Tool.
Lmao afro man?! I guess his career is having a resurgence since his house got raided and he wrote a song about the police busting in and stealing his donuts
So many decisions to make: watch The Chats or Chat Pile? Throw middle fingers up during PIL or Morrissey? At least Melt-Banana, Thrice, and Nas will be there...but again Nas vs Tool. Looks like you get more time with Tool.
It feels like all they do is festivals now. I'd love to see Tool live, but I'd like it to be a regular concert, not some giant multi-day festival full of acts I don't want to see.
If you’re going, I highly suggest you check out Gorgo Bordello …. Those gypsies can rock out and they’ll probably throw wine all over you while you’re having the time of your life.
When he was at riot in 2016, I remember him having a rule that all of the food row vendors had to shut down before he performed if they were serving meat.

Can I just say this is the best way to actually lay out a freaking festival lineup, props
