Pre-Festival Thoughts:
I looked at various Sublime with Rome setlists and they consistently consisted of Sublime covers with a couple of original Sublime with Rome songs thrown into the mix.

As such, I easily gave Sublime with Rome a 10 out of 10 for music (tied for second with Matt & Kim) and a 10 out of 10 for my desire to see them (second after Walk the Moon).

Post-Festival Thoughts:
"Make some noise!" Rome would yell to the crowd every once in a while. It was a fun show.

Unfortunately, the premature end meant I wouldn't get to hear the band play 'Santeria' or 'What I Got' (both songs consistently show up during the encore for performances by Sublime with Rome).

Of course, the band seemed as surprised and disappointed as the crowd.

On the bright side, I figured at least I got to hear a good number of songs. In contrast, any Kings of Leon fan would end up missing Kings of Leon completely.

The sound is cut and presumably the band is being told about the mandatory evacuation.
