    Night 1! Smashing Pumkins, Jimmy Eat World, and Switchfoot?
     Yesh please.

    Although the Black Keys are Night 2.. They would be worth seeing.

    ETA- I just noticed you listed Cake too. So definitely night 1.
  • Id go to day 1, just for smashing pumpkins alone... but they both sound amazing!
  • I LOVE Florence and the Machine!!!

  • I voted for 1 only because I haven't heard of a single band in night 2.
  • I would pick night 1, I've always wanted to see Smashing Pumpkins live and I think that would be amazing!

  • Cake, Bad Religion AND Social D all in one night? Def #1!!

    I am leaning towards night simply because of Smashing Pumpkins. The only reason I would go to night 2 would be to see Brandon Flowers(Lead singer of The Killers) I just saw him on Wed and he was great and The Black Keys. Also I am starting to get into Florence & the Machines and the

  • Aw man, number 1. But it's hard because Black Keys are in option number 2. But option 1's lineup most suits my musical tastes, so I say 1.

  • I vote Day One, because I recognize the Smashing Pumpkins. Also saw them in concern when they were on tour with Garbage, and it was awesome. I've never heard of any of the other bands, either day.

  • I love Night 1.  the Smashing Pumpkins? Hell yeah!  I only like Vampire Weekend on night 2 and definitely not as much as night 1 acts.
  • I am old. I know 8 out of 9 of the bands on night 1 and not one single one on night 2. Sigh.
  • Night #2 hands down. Phoenix, Vampire Weekend, Florence & the Machines, and Broken Bells???? I mean come on.

    (I *loathe* SPs, so that's a major deterrent to #1 for me, though I *love* Cake).

  • I'd go Day 1 just for Bad Religion.  Also, I haven't heard of ANY of the bands on Day 2.  I may not like all the bands on Day 1 but at least I know who they are.

  • Night one, because like many of the others here I have no idea who anyone playing on Night 2 is.

    And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

    Everything else is just bonus.  :)

  • Thanks for the input! For only $75 I can't beat either night. Night 1 it is!
  • I want to go to Night 1 but $96 (with all those service charges) kinda hurts. So I might just have to buy a ticket and go by myself.
  • Noooo!  Go to Night 2!!

    I was going to bold the bands one Night 2 that I love, but then I realized it's all of them (except the Edward Sharp one, I've not heard of him).

    Night 2 is a totally different vibe/style than Night 1.

    Thank you raynes! I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who saw the glory that was night 2.

  • No prob kcullen, I got your back.

    And now I want to make a Night 2 playlist.  I might even call it "Night 2".  I have a feeling I'll be making friends with some torrents tonight.

  • Night 1. A Day to Remember is one of my favorite bands.
  • Kcullen & Raynes- I fine with either one. Fi really prefers night 1. SP did it for me for night 1. I can live with not seeing night 2 even Brandon Flowers (love him).
  • Sorry for those who like the Day 2 lineup better but it's a nobrainer... Jimmey Eat World, MCR and Smashing Pumpkins!

  • I would pick 2 because I love Vampire Weekend and can't stand MCR or Switchfoot and would rather chew my own hair or something than see them live.
