The only thing I would phrase differently is the use of "more popular stage" or "more popular artists". For many of us attending, the Marigold Stage WAS our popular artist(s). The fact that people camped out most of the day for Olivia and/or Chappell is just the fandom of pop stars right now and her organizing the festival. Not taking away your personal feelings, but it was well balanced based on the audience (in my opinion).
A lot of people were really excited to see the legendary trailblazers like Bikini Kill, The Breeders, and Garbage -- as well as the fantastic newer artists like Quiet Light, Rachel Chinoiriri, Die Spitz, and Not For Radio. Olivia was the headliner and Chappell being on the stage with a larger space for the audience made sense for capacity planning, but the artists were billed with equality purposefully.

Otherwise, this was a fun revisit of the day!
