tbf, though, they’re three wildly different genres so it makes some sense

 

These conflicts are NUTS. Honestly putting FATA and ETID at the same time should be considered a war crime.

but I am down for a Chorus meet up!

 

That will be awesome.

BTW anyone staying at the Ramada by the airport. They have the worst reviews I have ever seen so I'm hoping to come out alive from that weekend.

 

I switched from the Ramada to this one: https://www.choicehotels.com/alabama/birmingham/quality-inn-hotels/al310

 

Our Fridays look identical.

 

If it helps you decide either way, Showbread is also playing No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical in full with the lineup that recorded it.

 

Truly just makes the decision all the harder lol, but Showbread is also playing on the (I assume) smallest stage so that is also very sick. Probably going to end up spending the majority of time with them and just hope that Darkest Hour plays that album again near me at some point

 

The fact everyone I want to see on Sunday is 6pm or later makes it really hard to stay and then drive back to Knoxville afterwards, not gonna lie. If only Sunday and Friday were switched, haha.

 

Not sure if it's your thing at all or not, but I'd say it's worth it to watch Turnstile just because of how much hype they have with their new album. It honestly took me a couple years to come around to their recorded music but I have always really fucked with their live show

 

I did like their new album/they're on right before Showbread, so this'll probably happen. I'm not opposed to just going and seeing bands whose names I've known for years but never listened to. I'm just... much older... since the last time I went to a music festival, haha.

 

Trying to remove all personal bias, I think that Turnstile is very worth your time even if you're not familiar with them. I've seen them 3 times & listened to them more and more after every time I see them

 

even if you don't like their recorded material, Turnstile is a force live

 

Missing Turnstile or ETID is a fucking sin

 

As much as I wanna check out Turnstile, my little 10th grade metalcore heart needs to go with Unearth. Somehow have still never seen them

 

You definitely won't be disappointed! Have seen Unearth twice and they kill it. Definitely bummed I won't get to see their whole set, Turnstile is just taking priority for me because I know the set is going to be insane.

 

I used to live in Florida & vividly remember Septembers, so I just bought 2 neck fans for my partner & I planning on it being miserable. Turns out I did it for all of us, as soon as they were delivered, the forecast now won't get above 77 the whole weekend

 

thank you for your service.

Related: my bought for cornerstone Florida/warped tour 2006 in st Pete camelbak is still going strong.

 

Damn 15 years is a solid purchase! I don't miss Florida at all but St Pete Warped was one of my favorites, the setup was really cool

 

I had to replace the bladder a few years back, but the bag itself has more than withstood the test of time.

 

Festival map according to the Friends of furnace fest Facebook page. Looks to be a tight area IMO

 

This is my rough plan. Already exhausted thinking about it

 

I was told by one of the promoters that the reason for the overlap with bands is that due to the capacity of some of the stages, they don’t want to get the fest shut down by the fire Marshall’s so they had to put bands against each other to spread people out like Touche amore vs beloved vs anberlin

 

I wonder how it would go over if they actually projected a football game behind the bands while playing the Plug Your Holes stage Saturday afternoon lol

 

What's the deal with the after party scene? I wanna meet people and make new friends

 

Map is up on the website, btw, for more clarity: Map
