Thanks! I'm really just curious and I love researching this kind of thing as I prepare to be Lockn'ed!
(As a newbie, I know that this may have been discussed in other threads--but I'm not finding them.)
Also, for my fellow grammar nerds, why is there an apostrophe after the N? That makes no sense to me! In fact, it makes no sense, period. If anything, it should be Lock'n, the apostrophe standing in for the missing "e." There must be a reason. Maybe just Lockn' being Lockn'? (The plural of Lockn' is presumable Lockn's; is the possessive of a singular Lockn' festival "Lockn''s"?)
Cheers!
But seriously, the whole idea behind "Interlocken" was interlocking sets, and the fact that there really was no second*, or third, stage. No overlapping sets, so one could conceivably see all the music (if one could remain awake), without missing anything in travel time.
Also, the Relix stage (AKA Blue Ridge Bowl, or BRB) was, up until last year, BYOB. It was not only in a whole different place from the Main Stage(s), but on an entirely different property. Smaller, because not everyone will remain for latenight, and away from the main venue both for noise ordinance and the fact that the main stages tended to end on or around the time it becomes illegal to sell alcohol. At a certain point it becomes illegal to possess alcohol, or even remain, in a place that sells it after service stops, too. It's been used as the main stage for the Festy Experience since it moved from Devil's backbone and serves as a standalone venue at times as well.
*Technically, there was a second stage, right next to the first one with the music planned to start on one as it ended on the other. This rarely worked out in the beginning, especially with Phil. The rotating stage seems to add a little more immediacy.

It's reminiscent of Woodstock, too.
It also serves like the big hook they used in vaudeville to clear the set of those who would linger, making speeches....
I'm waiting for someone to be so bad up there that the crowd chants, "Turn that stage! Turn that stage!" Almost happened last year but I don't recall the act.
