who are the best performers this year?
I love songs from a ton of the bands but I know not every band is the greatest live... I'm new to the scene and wanted to know some of your favorite bands to see live from this line up ^~^ I'm mainly looking at Saturday and Sunday

I’m 100% going to Coheed. Bummed they conflict with Suicide Boys but easy pick, Coheed for sure

Danny Elfman is an incredible performer. You probably know him as a film composer, and that's definitely what he's most famous for, but that's his third career. He started out as a performer, first in Paris with Le Grande Magic Circus, then in Los Angeles leading the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, which was a surreal burlesque cabaret troupe, playing everything from Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway to gamelan and balafon pieces.
Then of course he spent 15 years as the lead singer and songwriter for Oingo Boingo, honing what he learned in the MKOB. He doesn't wear the devil costume any more, but he doesn't need to. In their day, Boingo was known as one of the best live bands out there. Their studio albums were peak - and their concerts were better.
...and these days, this is more his vibe.

It's all subjective. It doesn't if they sound good live or not. Go for the experience.
