There are two stages side-by-side so while they’re setting up one stage for the next band, the current band is playing on the other stage. There’s no breaks in between bands for the afternoon festival stage show. The bands do only play for a half hour in most cases though.

Chill out. They have two stages side by side. So while one band plays, the next one is setting up. Those bands will play 25 min.

Seriously… I was REALLY looking forward to Imagine Dragons. That blows : (

I’m not saying this is for sure here but I have seen situations like this where the lesser bands (no offense to them) will just share a drum kit and stuff and maybe just swap their guitars. This means one band can walk off the stage that the other can walk right on. If done right you can get a new band on the stage in as little time as some bands pause between songs to chat it up with the crowd. But yes… their sets will be short.

Chill, dude. There are two stages, one for performing group, the other being set up for the next group. The time between groups is 2-3 minutes. It works!

Actually not, at least for the last time I was there the festival stage was actually split into two seperate stage, right next to each other. When one band is playing on one side the next band is setting up on the other. Once the band is done, everyone shifts over to the other side to see the next band. It was probably a 3 minute wait between bands, tops. So each band gets about the amount of time given to them on the schedule
