Fans are buzzing about a surprise set time listed under "+" on the Palomino Stage schedule on Friday, April 24th. "+" is listed to perform from 8:50 to 9:30 p.m. The symbol was quickly tied to Dan + Shay given their use of it in their name and logo. Nothing has been officially confirmed by the festival.
