A live day has breathing room
This is an outdoor festival, not a television broadcast. Stage times may shift a little while artists change over, stories unfold and the team keeps the day moving. JJ & Rachel will MC the program and help fill those natural gaps. The app’s live Schedule screen is the best place to see what is on now and what is next.
Three things to update in your plan
- Your ride home: Saturday now closes one hour later. Update pickups, HSR planning and your group meeting time.
- Your personal lineup: artist and speaker times have moved. Open Find Your Festival Moments, review your picks and export a fresh calendar.
- Your packing plan: the longer day means one more hour outdoors. Bring water, sun protection, a charged phone and the layer or comfort items your visit needs. Use the personalized What to Bring planner.
“Let all things be done decently and in order.”
