    Reporting live from my sleeping bag, here's the day 3 breakdown.

    First up was Paris Texas. I was excited for them and while they didn't have a band like I was hoping for, it was still a high energy set to kick things off on the last day.

    We sat in the back for IDK because most of us had already seen him, and we were all on energy conservation mode because it was hot and everyone was tired from all of the weekend festivities. He was pretty cool and the DJ played some Carti and Keem so that was fun

    Foushee was in a tent so we went to her instead of Glorilla. Her shows are more of a rock vibe now which I think is cool.. Her vocal range is insane and while her crowd was small, she was still engaged and put on a good set.

    Got a much needed coffee and saw Momma in the Sonora. Sounded true to record and I like some distorted guitars so I was a fan. Check out the song Speeding 72 for those that haven't listen.

    Caught a few songs of Rae Sremmurd which was OK, but they came out really late. 2manydjs played some fun songs so we were vibing there while trying to plan our strategy for the end of the night.

    Got a spot for Bjork and she was really cool. I loved the orchestra and the crowd near me seemed to enjoy it a lot as well. The conductor was going crazy the whole time.

    I left early to go catch Knocked Loose and that was my favorite set of the day. Unbelievable energy from the crowd and they threw down like they always do. Felt like I was at their headlining show at a small club instead of a massive festival. Got in the pit a few times and hit a stage dive too.

    Fisher and Chris Lake had half of the festival in the crowd and they were great. They're pretty formulaic at this point, but if it gets the crowd dancing then why switch up? I unfortunately missed a few of their big songs because we left early to secure a spot for the last show of the festival...

    Everything you've read about Frank Ocean was true (but not legendary). They were working on the stage setup for close to 2.5 hours and there were still problems. Frank changed a bunch of s*** up on the fly. There were minute long dead spots inbetween every single song. He didn't actually sing a lot of songs. The songs he did sing were almost all alternate instrumentals which was cool sometimes, that along with the crazy long pauses made it nearly impossible for the crowd to connect with the performance. Every time he'd start singing the crowd would be singing very cautiously because half of the time he'd take the song in a different direction. He had to end abruptly because he went 30 minutes over cerfew and Coachella was not gonna foot the bill for that fine like they did for Bad Bunny and Calvin Harris. Overall it was a strange and flat out bad ending to an otherwise amazing weekend. I still recommend everyone coming here at least once because it's an amazing experience

    I mean I think it’s glaringly obvious he doesn’t care now.
