Saturday is the second day for Grandoozy - the three-day festival coming to Denver's Overland Park from Sept. 14 - 16. There are TONS of bands playing and some are playing at the same time. Here's when the bands are playing and where so you can plan accordingly.
Here's a quick rundown of the acts starting at the top of the marquee and going down the queue each day. We've also got guides for Friday and Sunday at these links.
TRANSPORTATION | How to get to the Grandoozy music festival this weekend
Also, remember, just because there are no competing acts doesn't mean you can hit up all these shows in a row. If you do that, and you're walking from stage to stage, you're liable to be in the back. Plus, there's a bunch of fun stuff outside of seeing your favorite bands.
From our early understanding, "Rock" is Grandoozy's main stage, followed by "Paper" and "Scissors" as the two others.
Here's what's up on Saturday.
FLORENCE + THE MACHINE
Stage: Rock
Time: 8:30 - 9:45 p.m. - no competing acts
Genre: Indie rock
Popularity: Huge, massive - get there ASAP
What live show? The band's set at Voodoo Fest in New Orleans from a couple years ago is a good guide to go by for a live show.
YOUNG THE GIANT
Stage: Paper
Time: 7:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. - no competing acts
Genre: Indie rock
Popularity: They ruled the airwaves back when "Cough Syrup" and "My Body" came out. While they've fallen off a bit recently, expect a massive crowd.

SUNSQUABI (LOCAL)
Stage: Scissors
Time: 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. - same time as Sturgill Simpson
Genre: Jam band (self-proclaimed hydro funk)
Popularity: Hometown heroes! Colorado - Denver, specifically - makes no attempts to hide its love of jam bands.
What live show? Red Rocks from April of this year, duh. This jam band definitely will pack out the park.
6LACK
Stage: Paper
Time: 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. - no competing acts
Genre: Hip hop/R&B
Popularity: Very similar to The Weeknd but of course with different lyrics and attitude, expect a fair few people there.
What live show? He hit up WOO-HAH this year in Holland - it's a clean live video and gives a great example of what to expect. He sounds a little different than the album, so be prepared for that.

Time: 4:45 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. - same time as Snow Tha Product
Genre: Jazz/funk

Stage: Paper
Time: 2:30 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. - no competing acts
Genre: Indie pop
Popularity: No affiliation to Colorado, believe it or not. They're still on the come-up, so if you want to check them out now's your chance!
