We were a group that decided to get there early, mostly because we didn't care about the headliners. Our method was to basically try to find bands with horn sections, which really did work out well for us. My favorite no name act was Nortec Collective... and it appears that we're not the only ones, because their time slot has changed. It was so much goddamn fun - essentially dance music with mariachis and weird/creepy masks for the DJ's. St. Paul and the Broken Bones and Alabama Shakes need to tour together. Soulful as poo poo with so much energy. As others have said, Kasabian rocked it and Gesaffelstein was a great show, even with me not knowing anything about dance music. Dude just kept mixing until they literally had to turn the sound off on him. I appreciate that. Jack White was a drat good headliner - very talented and played a lot of different genres - including a fair amount of folk which I wasn't expecting. Also, I had never experienced a 30+ minute encore before. I listened to a few songs with AC/DC and they sound good, but nothing special. And... gently caress Drake.

Yeah, I neglected to mention that I spent some time in the medical tent with a corneal abrasion! Did catch the tail end of Charles Bradley and my buddies were raving about him
