What time does everyone think each band will start tomorrow? I have a friend who doesn't normally attend rock shows and she's all worked up that I suggested that getting there by 8 would be enough time to see the second two bands.
only gotcha would be can take a while to get into the parking lot and walk to the venue…like budget 30 mins, so arriving at 7:30 if you want to be at your seat/lawn by 8
FWIW I'm enjoying the Los Bitchos's album. fun instrumentals with lot's of influences, cumbia, surf, psychedelic  also produced by Alex of Franz Ferdinand   
Looks like we can be expecting 12ish songs from B&S tonight :(
^setlist is prob incomplete….but yeah I expect a slightly shorter set because of Japanese B….

Same setup for the Sheryl Crow/Isbell/Wahatchee shows?

very likely since it's a 11pm curfew and Isbell is more of a double bill than an opener

must say personally I liked the ryman set list better
https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/belle-and-sebastian/2022/ryman-auditorium-nashville-tn-33b47c3d.html

seem to be mixing it up on all the dates…different set lists every night …very different
although I only want to hear TM/IYFS/TBWAS and the eps are ideal setlists for me

Tonight and tomorrow (and Friday) are all billed as co-headliners.

How is it co-headline if one act gets 65 mins and the other gets 90?
Easy, female singer in JB, male singer in BS
dang an stones cover, from exile no less
yeah, looked like a fun show, need some post show banter people
I just can’t envision Stuart singing “..gotta scrape that shit right off your shoe”
quite possibly the only song I've heard hutch sing in front of a live audience
A Summer Wasting (!)
Wish I could have gone last night but my kids were burnt out from makeup baseball games and swim practice. Doubt they would have made it past 9pm. Hopefully one of these two artists will play the club/Anthem in the near future.
Pretty awesome time last night. Stuart was in rare form. Other than Axl Rose or one of the GNR guys in the late 80s early 90s, he's the rock star I wish I was. What a life.

Good setlist. Sad they didn't play any Write About Love songs while playing four songs from the Life Pursuit. Good album, but not worth playing at the expense of other albums.

Piazza NY Catcher is better when it's just Stuart singing with guitar playing. The song is supposed to represent loneliness, which is better represented without the full band playing it.

Was great to hear deep cuts A Summer Wasting and Song for Sunshine. If She Wants Me may be the most underrated B&S deep cut. Such a great track.

Wolf Trap is a really nice venue, too bad it's out in BFE. What's the deal with the lame alcohol rules in the seats? They don't want spilled booze to ruin the plastic seats and concrete flooring? Makes zero sense. But thanks to the beer guy for not opening my beer and allowing me to sneak it into the seats.

Props to all the attractive women who came out for B&S. Certainly enjoyed that.

It would be so easy for B&S to mail it in and just play the same songs every show except for changing up three or four. So many bands do that. Instead, they rotate through 50-60 songs (guessing) so every show is going to have pretty different setlists. That takes a lot of work and takes a truly professional band that cares about providing value to their fans to embrace. On that note, I'd pay 2x as much for tickets for an all B-side or single night. #Ilovemycar
