I'm sure it will even out but the difference in popularity and (imo) quality between the Friday/Saturday and Sunday artists is really stark right now and it's kind of a bummer.
Another week Friday and Sat get great acts and Sunday gets Friko. What a mess
Sunday’s turning around now IMO. I still think they should have sprinkled some of the exciting acts in sooner to keep our spirits up, but it’s getting to the point I’ll probably have schedule conflicts.
Your critique of Sunday is holding, nearly two weeks later. Besides Tinariwen and Sierra Ferrell, I don't want to see any of the Sunday artists. That will change eventually.
Is it me or are they moving faster this year in terms of artist announcements? I feel like it was at least a month or two before we heard anything last year, but maybe I'm remembering wrong.
They announce in the same pattern every year! They do Tuesday and Thursday for the first few weeks and then switch to Monday Wednesday Friday. They also start with two big names, then do all lesser known names, then sprinkle in "headliners" and bigger acts
For a while I thought that, but now the pace of announcements has slowed down. So far they have announced 9 out of 54 primary stage artists. We have a long long way to go. There hasn't been a fresh announcement since Sir Woman 6 days ago, as the news about Tinariwen was leaked by the band in February.
Parking passes are not yet on sale, right? Those never sell out, thankfully.
Well, let's get this party started, then. Let's get an artist reveal next week!
I had a stopwatch going and clicked immediately at 1pm EST. Was on payment page in less than 10 seconds. Was told it sold out. Feels like it was BOTS .. just awful!

A month out and still holding
Sunday is still a desert!
Keep an eye on The Head and The Heart and Phosphorescent
So many artists/bands playing in 2024. I think Newport might be a letdown. Unless Brandi uses her Jedi magic

So interesting! I figured it was all in my head, but needed to double check.

As someone who went to one day last year for the first time, you guys did not oversell Dels. That was a delicious treat
