Set times and lineups
- Set times come from each festival’s official set-time graphics or official site. When we use a copy posted by a music outlet, we link both the outlet and the original graphic.
- Official graphics usually list start times only, so end times in our timeline views are estimates. Start times are listed in the festival’s local time.
- When a schedule changes after it’s published, for example because of weather, we follow the festival’s revised graphics or reporting from established outlets, and say so in the page’s notes.
- Upcoming lineups list only acts the festival has officially announced. We don’t guess at unnamed or “mystery” acts, and we never invent set times.
Set recordings
- We only link full-set recordings uploaded by the artist, their label, the stage host or the festival’s own channels, plus an artist’s own SoundCloud.
- Every link is opened and checked before it goes live, and the check date is shown on the page. Sets without an official upload are marked TBA rather than linked to a re-upload.
Recaps and facts
- Claims about what happened at a festival (attendance, surprise guests, weather delays) are linked to the festival’s own recap or press release, or to an established music or news outlet.
- Each archive page lists its sources and shows a “Last updated” date.
Affiliate links
Some gear guides contain affiliate links, which are labeled on the page. Affiliate relationships never affect set times, lineups or which recordings we link. See our disclosure.
Corrections
If you spot a wrong time, a missing official recording or anything else we got wrong, contact us. We check every report against official sources, fix confirmed errors, and update the page’s date.
