Official 2014 Set Times

This is where I hope us Westerners have the advantage. Get to bed at 3PM really is only 1PM, get up at 10AM it is still 8 AM. my drunk math tells me I'l get 9 hours sleep.

As it turns out, there are actually a number of inconsistencies in the schedules that have been made available.

I've found four different schedules:

> The schedule in the app - (listed in the first post of this thread)

> The graphic schedule on the Lockn' website - www.locknfestival.com/lineup/schedule-2014.html

> The Shakedown Stage Schedule - www.locknfestival.com/docs/2014-Lockn-Shakedown-Area-Schedule.pdf

> The Triangle Stage Schedule - www.locknfestival.com/docs/2014-Lockn-Triangle-Sched.pdf


Here are the discrepancies that I've noted:

Keller Williams' Grateful Grass/Gospel

Lockn' App = 11:00 - 11:45
Triangle Schedule = 11:00 - 12:00

Hot Tuna Acoustic

Lockn' App = 12:30 - 1:30
Graphic Schedule = 12:00 - ?
Triangle Schedule = 12:00 - 1:00
(also worth noting that, according the Lockn' app, Tom Petty is scheduled to play until 12:30)

Dumpstaphunk / Chris Robinson Brotherhood / Bustle in Your Hedgerow

Lockn' App = 1:00 - 2:30
Shakedown Schedule = 1:00 - 2:00 (on all three nights, the "Deer Clan Dancers" are scheduled to perform from 2:00 to 3:00)

(Not sure if this is noteworthy or not, but many of the performance times listed on the Triangle Schedule have an asterisk next to them. No indication what the asterisk means, but all three latenight sets have one.)

I'm sorry, but we're entirely too close to the festival to have this much conflicting information out there. Surely the schedule has been finalized by now. Even if the schedule is still being adjusted, is it unreasonable to ask that they at least give us consistent information?

I really hope that:

a) The lengthier set times are correct.

b) They get this straight before Wednesday.

Like everyone else, I'm really excited for this festival, and I'm not trying to bring about a bunch of pessimism this close to the event. But I was rather upset when I opened up the Shakedown Schedule today and saw Dumpstaphunk, CRB, and Bustle all slated for one-hour sets with Deer Dancing following them at 2:00 am.

I Just saw someone on Facebook ask if they should leave SCI and the gang early in order to catch all of Taj. Lockn' replies "No sets will be overlapping" which doesn't really answer the question since you have to factor in the 20 minute walk.

Last year they didn't give us paper schedules at the gate. I wouldn't plan on that. The app was my schedule through the fest last year.

That'd suck, maybe I should print one out just in case. I generally leave my phone in my car at fests.

the only mention of paper schedules on facebook that I can find is Dave saying that there is a green issue to consider. They aren't too good with yes-or-no answers, but granted that was said months ago before they probably even knew if it was a yes or no yet.

Endless, I appreciate your advice, but I disagree.

I've actually been to a good number of music festivals and the way I operate, the timing of the schedule is vital to my decision making. I don't need to plan the weekend down to the minute, but (especially with a multi-stage festival) I like to have accurate information so that I can make informed decisions.

In the last ten years, the only time I've worn a watch has been at music festivals. You suggested that I just hang at the main stage until the music ends, then head to a side stage. But, at least in my case, the Shakedown and Triangle sets are some of my most highly anticipated shows. If the main stage runs beyond the scheduled times (as it did last year), I could end up missing entire Triangle shows if I follow your advice.

If you can roll the whole weekend without a schedule, more power to you, but I actually need to know what time bands are performing so that I can maximize my festival experience.

If Hot Tuna is starting at 12:00, I might opt to leave Tom Petty early to catch their set. If I get there and find they actually start at 12:30, then I will have skipped a significant portion of a headliner's set for no reason.

Whatever the schedule actually looks like, I'll accept it and make the best of the weekend. However, I don't think it is wrong to be frustrated with the fact that they've published conflicting schedules just a few days before the festival.

I hope they get it together by Wed. Hopefully the app will be up to date with times. I'll check it in the mornings.

Most festivals you have to pick and choose all day what you are going to see and will most certainly miss a lot of good music. If 1/3 of a latenight set or 15 minutes of the end of a headline set is all you miss that is a good day. They have to end the music at some point so if there is a little overlap here or there on the latenight sets........so be it. Everyone has the opportunity to see 99% of all of the music and that is good enough for me!

I like that the late night sets are flexible. I am worried that, since there is no overlapping, the smaller stages will be overwhelmed with people.
