Holy hell that Stage B line up kills

 

Wow, I didn't realize how many bands played this festival. 6 stages with music all day. Did they ever think about doing more than 1 day for this fest?

 

Zach FergisonStill disappointed in the lack of musical diversity this year guys. You truely let me down. Was incredibly excited for this year until the band list came out. Here's to you guys being more accepting of metal/hardcore/pop punk in the future

lol this guy

 

This is pretty much my list, with TFOT in there for a little. still trying to figure out if I'll be able to go or not.

 

This is down the road from my house, and I won't be there...

look at that gap for you to see wildhoney :)

 

Yup, they're on my "need to listen to" list!

 

@ that guy

 

Hey, quick question for all you guys who have been previous years, how long does it take to get between stages? Like are Stage A and B really close? Just trying to see how big of gaps I need to put in between sets, otherwise, I'm packing it all the way full and you'll see my darting from stage to stage.

 

A and B are right next to one another, that's why the set times rotate. But the other stages aren't too far away at all. It's literally in a school, so it's relatively small and close together. You shouldn't have a problem getting from stage to stage

 

Thanks a lot for the quick response! And thats what I was figuring with A and B, just didn't want to assume. Here's my list of bands I'm aiming to see:
Second Best 12:00-12:25
Heart Attack Man 12:25-12:50
Allistar Hennessey 12:50-1:15
Sweat 1:30-1:55
Slingshot Dakota 2:05-2:30
Jesus Piece 2:30-2:55
Petal 2:55-3:20
Into It. Over it. 3:45-4:20
Free Throw 4:45-5:10
The Flatliners 5:10-5:40
Diet Cig 5:40-6:10
The Fall of Troy 6:10-7:10
Koji 7:15-7:45
Bear Vs Shark 7:40-8:30
Cayetana 8:30-9:00
La Dispute 9:00-10:20

Obviously, I might have to miss one to get a mid day break, but idk, I'm pretty stoked lol.

 

I've sadly never been to Bled Fest, but I'm just curious about a couple things...

How many people does Bled Fest typically draw and what is a normal sized crowd for say a stage A or B act?

This year's lineup looks awesome and I wish I could go but my brother is getting married that day down in Cincinnati. I will do everything in my power to make it to Bled Fest 2018! I'm only about 3 hours away so I have no excuse.

8:40-9:05 Baggage
9:00-10:20 La Dispute (“Wildlife” and more)


Here's my schedule, the asteriks mean I will partially watch, but I may watch the whole set. Seeing a lot of these bands roll through the day before and day after so there's only a few I really want to see. Plus I enjoy walking through the merch area, going outside a few times and eating lol

I feel like a lot of these sets are pretty short, especially The Flatliners who are billed fourth and only playing 30 mins but oh well.

 

The venue is pretty full. Stage A & B the entire room is filled usually by the time 3PM rolls around. It's very hot normally as well. But those two stages seem to be where all the people are at all day for the most part.

 

it's kind of sad looking through this now, since two of the bands i would have been most excited to see were kicked off and the lineup looks significantly worse to me now :/ really a bummer

 

And La Dispute getting 80 minutes? Seems to be a bit much. I have a feeling that they won't fill that full time.

 

wildlife is 57 minutes, plus like five or six other songs? easy.

 

That's really not that much time for La Dispute. They usually do around 90 on headlining tours, and considering this is a special Wildlife in full show, I guarantee they'll use all their time

 

Yeah in this case they definitely will since Wildlife will take about an hour, I'm sure they'll talk/tune a few times and then play like 4-5 more songs

 

ONE MORE WEEK
