Stars are one of the many artists using their social platforms to express disgust at the Trump administration's policy separating migrant children from their families.
Arctic Monkeys, Jack White, The National, and Vampire Weekend all play different days, so if you were hoping to catch the big indie/alternative rock names and just go one or two days, that's kind of a bummer. St. Vincent the same day as Vampire Weekend is a nice touch though.
