Governors Ball 2015's Worst Scheduling Conflicts: Florence + The Machine vs. The Decemberists, The Black Keys vs. Lana Del Rey & More

Governors Ball 2015 is only a couple of weeks away, and today (May 20), the New York City festival announced its full hour-by-hour schedule. And, of course, with a lineup stacked with the likes of Drake, Florence + The Machine, Lana Del Rey, The Black Keys, Deadmau5 and more, there were sure to be plenty of time conflicts.

And conflicted we are. There are only so many hours in the afternoon and evening, and well, there are some pretty trying times to come for GovBall attendees. Check out Music Times' five worst time conflicts below, and try not to stress to much about your weekend.

Flume vs. SBTRKT: Fans of experimental EDM have a tough choice on Saturday, when both Flume and SBTRKT are set to perform from 8 to 9:15 p.m. Flume's live show is an explosion of color and sound, and people looking for a little bit of a reprieve in the early evening may benefit from the slightly tuned down show at the Big Apple Stage. Meanwhile, SBTRKT will be playing in the Gotham Tent, pimping the release of its latest album Wonder Where We Land. The Gotham Tent is always a crowded house, and that can be expected here, too. But, don't let that detour you - SBTRKT tapped Ezra Koenig, Jessie Ware and more for Wonder Where We Land, so there's always room for a collaboration here that would not want to be missed. What's working in Flume's favor is the fact that SBTRKT played Coachella already this year and is also due for Bonnaroo (as SPIN handily pointed out), so if you have plans to go to any of those, check out the former.

The War on Drugs vs. "Weird Al" Yankovic: What are the dads of Governors Ball supposed to do? On one hand, you have reliable festival band The War on Drugs, whose album Lost in the Dream was deemed one of 2014's best. On the other hand you have "Weird Al" Yankovic, the purveyor of the dad joke! Though The War on Drugs and Weird Al may seem like polar opposites, both these acts have a sense of timelessness and put on a killer live show, making Sunday's 5:45 to 6:45 pick a difficult one. What may make this choice easy, like Flume versus SBTRKT is whether or not you're checking out other festivals this summer. If you are, head for Weird Al because The War on Drugs is literally everywhere this year. If not, it may be worth it to avoid the overcrowded Gotham Tent for the Big Apple Stage to see The War on Drugs. Either place is sure to be a party - it all just depends on your vibes.

Hot Chip vs. Flying Lotus: The Big Apple Stage versus The Gotham Tent comes into play again on Sunday evening, as Hot Chip and Flying Lotus both begin their sets at 8 p.m. And once again, dance music fans will be in a tizzy. Hot Chip just released its latest album Why Make Sense? on May 18, so fans of that new album will get to hear new cuts like "Huarache Lights" at the Big Apple Stage. Meanwhile, Flying Lotus will be holding fort across the festival grounds, bringing the slightly more abrasive You're Dead! to the masses. If you like experimentation, this one's easy - ya go for Flying Lotus, who threw everything but the kitchen sink on its latest album. But, if you're looking for a straight party, Hot Chip is where it'll be at.

Governors Ball 2015 will take place from June 5 to 7 at Randall's Island Park in New York City.
