- Former relative unknowns Smarts forgo stage for car-roof-with-lashed-on-drums in a kinetic and catchy set involving all requisite "stage"-diving, punk rock riffing, and bothering of audience members.
- The Mae Shi, deliciously hyperactive as ever, and as catchy, fully at home in their current apocalyptic 8-bit punk incarnation.
- An old favorite of Dan Deacon's, Baltimore legends the Oxes dramatically reform to play a never-ending set of muscularly guitar-heavy post-punk. The audience basically will not let them leave. Much eternal riffing and euphoric surfing on uplifted hands (sometimes simultaneously and by the same person) ensues through a series of encores upon encores, before the show closes and everyone drags themselves out and off to Sonar to continue the festival.
- Upbeat, jangly Chicagoans Bird Names.
- Jittery, spidery-melodied Chicagoans Killer Whales.
- Etc.
