I’m not there today (going tomorrow!) but I was considering today just for Jai Paul mainly. So perhaps I made the right choice in not going.
Mannequin Pussy sound issues kind of ruined their set for me. Muna > Brittany Howard > Alanis might be one of the best ends to a day ever.
Hope everyone had fun today! (I cannot get into Mannequin Pussy or Muna but it seemed like they had big crowds)
Saturday and Sunday were great! Though I felt like the crowds were much smaller until late Sunday. Even Saturday night during Jamie XX felt a little thin (though he was great). Anyone else notice that? But my highlights were def Model/Actriz (need to see them live again), Muna, Mannequin Pussy, Les Savy Fav, Jessie Ware (fav dance party of the weekend), and Wednesday. Sad to miss Friday, especially Jeff Rosenstock/Sudan Archives/Yaeji.
i keep seeing people say online how it seemed like the least crowded its ever been, which this is the first year I dont know a single person that went. not sure if its due to the line up or what but the weather seemed perfect.
Friday was slow throughout the day. I arrived late and it felt like I arrived at noon. No one cared for Black Pumas. Saturday was full pretty much from the time I arrived. People probably left after a bit of Jamie XX, though, because he didn't really fit the rest of the bill that day. Sunday was full starting around 3 or 4, field was packed for Alanis.
Ya I think it makes sense given the headliners. Black Pumas seems like a weird choice (are they really that popular?), Jamie XX is great, but there wasn't really a lot there besides him for fans of electronic music, and he was here last summer for Re:set. Alanis fans are gonna skew older and only come that one day and show up later in the day.
