i shocked that so many seem to be going with the "theme" nights. im a fan of mixing genres on stages. James & Tranter seem to be the only ones who mixed things up with their scheduling.
I like when the headliner and the sub are somewhat fitting to each other, the acts before can be whatever imo.
You can be complimentary without being the same.
For example, FlyLo > Radiohead or The XX > LCD works. Or from examples on this page, The White Stripes > Lady Gaga. But it’s not Slayer > Metallica or Missy > Biggie. Mixing up acts makes the stage run just feel a bit more complex than the obvious “put rap before rap” or “rock before rock”.
Maybe that’s just me tho. I just find that a bit more interesting at multi-genre festivals. It’s obviously different if you’re going to a more niche-curated festival.
Loretta Lynn > Parliament Funkadelic > John Coltrane
《country > funk > jazz》
Ravi Shankar and Alla Rakha > Public Enemy > Kraftwerk
《Hindustani > hip-hop > electronic》
Sonic Youth > Destiny's Child > Bob Marley and the Wailers
《punk > r&b > reggae》
I think I struck a balance. I wouldn't call any of these days themed, and I tried to make the sub subs weird and non-obvious, like maybe having Deep Purple in the place of Lynn would be too on the nose. Or if Sonic Youth were swapped with Lynn, Friday would be crazy high energy on the stage and Sunday would be too mellow.
This is all probably gonna change a bunch of times, though. Last year I had kind of an active to inactive to dead schedule. Madonna Friday (alive), Stones Saturday (partly dead), James Brown Sunday (fully dead). And I think I kinda had that through the weekend. Jesus was Sunday, too.

Honestly, my only iffyness with your schedule is that Destiny's Child is very high energy, going into Bob who is very mellow would be a weird transition. Idk if that's a good or bad thing, but my main focus with scheduling is does the mood/vibe match (as opposed to the genre as I said before).
You def did a good job of mixing it up tho and making it work. P much anyone into Bob is going to have the same high > mellow energy problem.

DC are across the spectrum energy-wise, though. Super high energy stuff like Lose My Breath and Bootylicious, then songs that are mellower like Bills and Soldier, most of their earlier stuff, then ballads like Emotion to bring it down. I think them and Marley is a vibe.
Sigur Ros into Marley might be a bigger vibe, though..
