I saw Jimmy Cliff, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Refused, DJ Shadow, Explosions in the Sky, Madness, Jeff Magnum, Buzzcocks, The Black Lips, The Growlers, Radiohead, Porter Robinson, Calvin Harris, Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg, Mazzy Star, and a few more., and looking back now I kick myself for not going to others instead.
I hated people more than I do now (not hate just avoid), the crowds are huge, but if you like music you should have no complaints. People of all types, mostly high school and college kids looking to party but they stick to the electronic stages. Honestly though, if I had a good time, there is no reason anyone who remotely likes music would hate it. You can't hear multiple stages, you are bound to meet cool people, like some people have mentioned it's unique to being exposed to that variety of artists in one place. Only negative, which only applies to some festivals, are shorter sets, by about 50%, but they still deliver. (Except GY!BE, it felt like they only played a song)
