Good call, that's gotta be The Killers set up. The north stage (NIN stage) has the obvious downtown sky scrapers in the background (left of the stage), south one doesn't have as much scenery from what I recall in years past.

That's neither NIN nor The Killer's setup. That's Perry's Stage which is where all the EDM DJ's perform.Originally Posted by Krazy

Damn those side stages look bigger than I remember- haven't been there since '09. Bed time for me and hopefully the weather works out for us.
Safe travels everyone.

Perry's used to be tiny but last year they bumped it up to a stage bigger than the second stage on the south field. It's massive, and holds tons of people. Last year Bassnectar had a bigger crowd at that stage than both Black Sabbath and Black Keys did on their respective main stages.

Fashion statement for the day: rain poncho chic.

Yeah, I'm laying awake in an Elmhurst apartment to the fairly loud storm sounds around. And then...they just stopped?
Spoiler: Forecast for today doesn't look very inviting.

Coffee BREAK!
Today is the day. No thunder atm (& I promise I didn't bring it from Florida ;-)
Wearing Muppets tee & bandana if fellow ETS'ers want to say hi.
Looking forward to the next 11 hours.
Bite me
Phil Schwartz on ABC says the rain is going to be mostly in the southern suburbs so maybe it's gonna miss us! Hope so! (Waive to my Alma Mater in Elmhurst)Spoiler: Forecast for today doesn't look very inviting.

Will drop merch and post some pics. Can grab shirts for anyone who wants one. 30 each. 1 is the limited red shirt from nin.com with festival dates on back.

That would be Perry's stage. NIN is playing the Bud Light stage.^^^ Fair enough, thanks!
SPOILER ALERT!!!!
Could NIN have a different stage set up for the US festival shows? Here's a snap shot of the vid from above- it clearly has rounded LED banners at the top of the stage that I don't see from the Japan show:

What I did for love: suffer through Ghost BC. Boring.

Lots of little fan reunions going on around me. And I see some familiar faces across the center barrier. Grabbing spots early gets more tolerable from here. Band of Horses is up next. But clouds are thickening...

Fingers crossed that Trent appears to sing Kolopsia with Queens Of The Stone Age in a little bit.

the stream is cutting out horribly, it's completely unwatchable for me
and im gonna guess if this doesnt get smoothed out, get ready for a clusterfuck later.

Yeh it's jittery for me too.
Throbbing Member
Does anyone have a better solution for watching the stream? I've tried in Firefox and Chrome and they're both skipping like crazy
Member
yep will be unwatchable at this rate....grrrr had my evening here in Austin all planned....QOTSA then NIN.... glad to know i'm not alone though...misery loves company!
Active Member
EDIT: Nevermind. Still shit.
Last year I had a shitty connection AND the weather was worse, and I still was able to stream it without these kind of issues. Get your head in the game!

The red one was $30. I'm not sure how much the others were but, if anything, they were the same price or cheaper. I was too focused on the red one to notice much else. Sorry.

You'd still only be half as hammered as Alice Glass after that bottle of Jameson.

So lets get this spoiler train going.
I can't believe the board is so slow right now, they're on STAGE.
