My UMF Diary: Day 2 schedule

Ok… today is going to be a complete clusterfuck. I sadly know that there’s no possible way I’ll be able to make it to each one of these shows but I’m going to try my very hardest to follow this general schedule:

I’ve loved Netsky since this time last year and will be upset if I can’t make it in time to see him, but noon is a lot to ask. Other earlier shows that I don’t want to miss are Zedd, Felix Cartal (in the BAO Dome, coool!) and Skream! + Benga:
High Contrast b2b Netsky 12:00-1:00 UMF Brazil
Zedd 1:25-2:20 Main Stage
Felix Cartal 2:00-3:00 BAO Dome
Skream! + Benga 3:00-4:00 UMF Brazil

Not so much of a cluster during the middle of the day as there aren’t any conflicts with Nadastrom, Gesaffelstein or Laidback Luke, but I’ll need to cut my Flux Pavilion + Doctor P time a little short to be able to make it to Duck Sauce (I feel like it’s only fitting since I was THERE when A-Trak played “Barbara Streisand” for the first time at UMF in 2010):
Nadastrom 4:00-5:00 Annie Mac Presents
Gesaffelstein 5:00-6:00 Anne Mac Presents
Laidback Luke 5:30-6:45 Main Stage
Flux Pavilion + Doctor P 6:30-8:00 UMF Brazil
Duck Sauce 6:45-8:10 Main Stage

I initially though that since Pendulum’s DJ set and Fatboy Slim go on at the same time, I was totally screwed, but luckily, Fatboy’s set goes right up until 9:40 when the first of two major “oh shit” moments will hit me. Justice, DJ Shadow, and Sven Vath all play at the same time and there’s really no way around having to sacrifice two for the sake of one. Might have to settle on a coin toss, but we’ll see:
Pendulum DJ Set 8:00-9:00 UMF Brazil
Fatboy Slim 8:10-9:40 Main Stage
Justice 9:40-11:00 Main Stage/Sven Vath 9:30-11:30 Carl Cox Cocoon/DJ Shadow 9:30-11:00 Live Stage

Depending on what show I pick out of the three I just whined about, I definitely want to run over to catch the last bit of Dillon Francis in all his 1950s fashion glory but then here comes the real kicker- Avicii, 2manydjs, Annie Mac, AND Felguk all playing at the exact same times (none of which I’ve ever seen before)! What ever am I supposed to do?! I suppose that if I’m already down at Annie Mac’s stage seeing Dillon, I can catch a little bit of Felguk and Annie Mac to close out the day and hopefully get to see Avicii somewhere else this summer? But then again, Avicii let the world know on Sirius|XM on Thursday that he was premiering three new tracks plus one new remix that are going to be “dope” so… Sheesh, I need help:
Dillon Francis 10:00-11:00 Annie Mac Presents
Avicii 11:00-12:00 Main Stage/Felguk 11:00-12:00 BAO Dome/2manydjs 11:00-12:00 Live Stage/Annie Mac 11:00-12:00 Anne Mac Presents
