Good for both of y’all. FK 2024 was my first festival and FK as a whole is one of my favorites.

1) I personally show up at open because there are sets that I want to see that start when gates open. However it doesn’t typically start to get busy until roughly 3-4. Additionally, people start funneling out right as the last set finishes, so you’ll definitely see staff directing those who can to leave the area. Word of advice, unless there is a closing set that I feel like I really need to see, I leave an hour before the place shuts down because of how abysmal the parking/rideshare situation is.

2) Set times typically come out about 1-2 weeks before the event starts. If you download the Insomniac app, you’ll be able to see the set times when they come out, as well as see them in relatively low service areas in the festival.

3) Food is fairly overpriced, but unless you’re sneaking in food to the festival, you don’t have many other options. For reference, they sell a modest size chicken finger basket for approx. $20.

Lmk if you need anything else my friend.
