Sub Focus
Daytime = tank + khaki shorts, same as Day 1. No hoodie until temps actually drop, if at all — heavy layers overheat in a packed crowd even at 60°F.

♪ Subtronics — Into Pieces (drop, ~1:00)
The shot — golden hour, field or tree line
Walking mid-stride, looking slightly off-camera, or a three-quarter angle with chin down, gaze into the distance. Slight smirk over a full smile. Take the Osprey off just for this — back on right after.
You’ve got the boys here, so you don’t need the timer for the hero: hand a phone to someone, set burst mode, and do a few walk-throughs. Pick the best frame later.
Carousel audio
Subtronics — “Into Pieces” (feat. Grabbitz). Clip 30–90s from inside the drop (~1:00–1:30 or ~2:00–2:30), starting a beat or two after it lands — not right on the hit. Avoids the loop seam.
Lineup notes
Each day’s sets is my personal must-catch list, in rough running order. Stages are
only partially announced (Fire and Air confirmed for some acts), and set times
aren’t out yet — they usually drop 1–2 weeks before the weekend. When they do, fill
time: and stage: on each set and mark priority: must where two overlap.
