In order for there to be some general consensus regarding the genre and level of fame of the various bands mentioned in this roleplay, in case anyone wants to incorporate them into their story somehow, below you'll find a short summary of each band, along with information regarding what stage and day/time they'll be playing. If the band includes characters played by members of this board, you will also find their images and links to their applications listed. Lastly, if band members of other bands have been referred to by name, they will also be listed.
For simplicity's sake, we're listing only three bands per stage per day, though the idea is that there will of course be bands playing all the time. The ones listed are, as mentioned above, mostly there in order for there to be some general consensus.
As for the times listed (afternoon, evening and night); generally, there will be no bands performing until around noon, and so "afternoon" covers noon time until roughly 5 p.m.. "Evening" covers the time from 5 p.m. to around 9 p.m., and "Night" covers 9 p.m. until the last band for the day is done playing, which will usually be around 2 a.m..
Here are the listings for Day One of the Syrinx Festival:
