Shaky Knees Festival attendees are buzzing over the scheduling clash between IDLES and Spoon on Friday, September 19, 2025. Both bands deliver compelling live energy, but their set times—IDLES at 6:30 PM and Spoon at 7:30 PM—have sparked a lively debate online about which set to prioritize.
On the r/ShakyKnees subreddit, fans are divided. Longtime IDLES supporter bonners4days shared their struggle to decide whether to skip Spoon after already seeing IDLES multiple times. Meanwhile, new fans like Agrothar are counting down the minutes for their first-ever Spoon show, describing the band’s vibe as “otherworldly” and not to be missed.
But here’s the key insight: the festival schedule actually allows time to catch both sets. With an hour between start times, fans can experience IDLES’ raw intensity and then hustle to Spoon’s stage for the following set. This staggered timing might just turn a tough choice into a win-win.
- Festival Dates: September 19–21, 2025
- Location: Piedmont Park, Atlanta
- Friday Highlights: IDLES (6:30 PM), Spoon (7:30 PM)

If you’re headed to Shaky Knees, the takeaway is clear: plan to catch both sets. You won’t want to miss the intense energy of IDLES or the mesmerizing performance Spoon promises. The 2025 Shaky Knees lineup continues to flex its diverse appeal, and this scheduling “clash” might just be the festival’s best problem yet.
