Altar sets run slightly offset from the Catacombs hourly blocks, so the exact start and end times are in parentheses. The Catacombs sets run on the hour. Nothing overlaps with the headliner, so you can catch the whole closing set without missing another act.
Weather: Rain or Shine
The forecast calls for rain and 76°F on Friday, with cloudy skies and 77°F on Saturday. The event will go on regardless of the weather. Ponchos are allowed, but umbrellas are not. Pack a clear poncho, especially for Friday.
