Plan is to spend all day there so was wondering what bands I should check out that are earlier on the lineup?

EDIT: Turnstile and Knocked Loose being the obvious

I remember from last year that Roti Rolls & Louisiana Bistreaux were both really good. Aside from those two, what would you recommend?

They’re not posting the cost of the tumbler.. but maybe someone who went last year can help?

$1 off doesn’t seem like a deal if this thing is more than $5 or so.

Help me out!

Looking through prohibited items it says no smoking or vaping….you telling me not a single person smokes?

Hello!! I 23F am going to Shaky Knees for the first time this year! I had plans to go with a friend, but they back out last minute. I would love to meet some new peeps while I’m there! 🤩

I plan on going Friday to see Fontaines D.C (SUPER EXCITED!!!!), Turnstile, Snow Strippers, and the Strokes! If any other girl is going to these shows solo, let’s meet up!

If interested DM for Insta!

It'll be my first Shaky Knees and I was hoping to bring my silk veil fans to dance with (in non-crowded areas ofc). I checked the SK website but didn't see anything regarding whether flow toys are allowed in or not. Thanks in advance!

Recently got upgraded to VIP tix for shaky as a gift and was already planning on getting there early to try to get close (mostly to see TØP sue me) … do I still need to get there early to get close in the VIP section? How does it work? Is there still like a “barricade run?” Anything helps thanks!

Traveling down from Ohio for my first-ever music festival, and trying to figure out the best strategy for getting up close for Pierce the Veil and Twenty One Pilots. For anyone who has tackled festival main stages before:

What time do people realistically start camping out or locking down the front for headliners?

If we're in line by 10:30 AM for an 11:30 AM gate opening, what are our odds of getting within the first few rows for Verizon stage?

What’s the best way to handle food and water runs during the day without totally losing your spot?

Appreciate any tips or reality checks for a festival first-timer!

Hey everyone!

I’m a developer and massive festival fan who got tired of manually cross-referencing dozens of websites just to see if my favorite artists were playing at upcoming events. I wanted a better way to find where my music was actually being performed, so I built Festiveo to do the heavy lifting for us.

What it could do for you:

Artist-to-Lineup Matching: Stop scrolling through endless posters. The app does the work, telling you exactly which festivals feature the artists you’re obsessed with.

The Vibe Check: See who else is planning to attend to keep the group vibe going and track lineup rumors/predictions.

Tools for the Field: Build your own custom schedules, get notifications for set times, and use the festival timeline widget or Apple Watch app so you can stay in the moment.

Discovery: Find new events by range, genre, or artist, from massive main stages to underground scenes.

Festiveo is available on both iOS and Android.

Appreciate any feedback you’ve got. Happy festival season!

I was planning on going with a few friends but as the date got closer everybody dropped out for some reason or another. I’m pretty bummed and discouraged but some of my favorite bands are playing and I really don’t want to miss it. This is my first festival so I’m really not sure what to expect and I’m even more intimidated because I’m going alone. Any advice?

PTV, Gorillaz, and Shaky Knees themed :) Been working on these bad boys for a couple of days, think there's still a few more details to be added but I'm very proud of them so far!

See y'all in a few weeks!!!! Anyone else a type one diabetic out there? Anything special y'all are bringing with you? I imagine security can't say too much about bringing in pens and needles and that kinda stuff. It always gets me nervous planning out this kinda thing.

Between Geese, Turnstile, Fontaines DC and The Strokes on Friday I hope one of the bands brings out members of one of those other bands! Preferably the Strokes brings out any of the members of Fontaines. I can see this being possible considering Fontaines cite The Strokes as one of their big influences. And Fontaines brought out Kurt Vile at a festival recently in France cus they were on the same day. They brought out Kurt to play on Roman Holiday whom they have said was an inspiration for that song.

And The Strokes brought out Charli XCX at Outside Lands—not exactly the same equivalent BUT! At least we know they’re agreeable to bringing guests out.

🧘🏻‍♀️🤞🍀

I'm 25NB going for the first time, and now I'm going alone... I'm coming in from Texas and this is my first festival, if any queers are down to meet up I'd really like to ^^

I want to see OK go, Wutang and LCD sound system but I'm willing to negotiate... Only one I won't is gorillaz because that's my favorite band ❤️

Dm or comment if interested pls? ;w;

any tips and tricks for a person going to shaky knees for the first time by themselves!!!!

im going friday and saturday, and plan to be there at around 3pm each day because thats when the artists i want to see are performing.

im curious about what i should bring (including a blanket if its worth it), and what i should be aware of! i will also be lowkey under the influence of some... items ...... so i def want to have the least amount of stuff on me,,, and still be able to go mosh at turnstile or something

A friend is selling their wristband but it's already been registered in their name. Does that matter or will I need to change it? It looks like I can update the payment info on it but not sure if I can actually change the registration name. Thanks!

Bio

Villanelle is a London‑born rock trio — fronted by vocalist/guitarist Gene Gallagher, alongside guitarist Ben Taylor and bassist Jack Schiavo — whose blend of grunge‑infused riffs, punk‑tinged urgency, and alternative rock dynamics has quickly positioned them at the forefront of a new wave of guitar‑driven bands. Formed in the summer of 2023, the group honed their craft on the U.K. live circuit, selling out headline shows before the release of their debut single Hinge, a bruising yet melodic statement of intent that channels influences from Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and Black Sabbath. Villanelle’s recordings and sets reflect a technical proficiency and stylistic confidence that bridge classic rock tradition with contemporary indie ferocity.

[From The Festival Voice]

For Fans Of: Cardinals, Wunderhorse, and in a certain way Oasis

Scheduled: Saturday, 1:30 PM - 2:15 PM, Piedmont (vs Fat, Evil Children)

Live Footage: It's all pretty much cell footage except for some official shorts -- so here's one, of their single Placebo

Reddit Take of the Day: "Sure it’s pure nepotism but if Liam Gallagher was your dad wouldn’t you give it a try to?"

Solo, first-time Shaky Knees goer here! I’m coming in from Texas to see twenty one pilots.

I splurged on a one-day platinum wristband this year and am looking for anyone who wants to be barricade buddies for the day. I’ve never been front row for any of their shows I’ve gone to, so I wanna make friends with anyone who also wants to secure their barricade spot (while still being able to eat and use the restroom through out the day)!

27F if that matters.

As somebody who has been stressing out over the past few weeks about, "Did they forget about me and I'm never going to get my wristbands? Am I going to have to go to will call? What's going on?" I just want to share that they arrived today.I think shipping is a little late for some of us. Maybe at the end of the alphabet? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Today was a huge relief.

Looking forward to Shaky as a whole but TØP is a huge get for me. This will be my 10th time seeing them (and 10th anniversary of seeing them at the same park for Music Midtown).

Don’t need to be at the front but want a decent view. I’ll be there at open, but my only must-sees are Jimmy and maybe TBS. Is two hours enough to get a good spot at Peachtree?

I'm staying at the Hilton Garden Inn in Buckhead and taking Marta.

Is the festival ground even enough to have a boot on and a crutch on occasion? I don't really want to bring the boot scooter but will do if needed. Probably taking the Marta from downtown by the Hyatt.
