Sweetlife Festival: Set times and a Spotify playlist Avicii, shown here during his closing set at Coachella, headlines the biggest edition yet of the Sweetlife Food and Music Festival. (Mark Davis/Getty Images for Coachella) At its current rate of expansion, the Sweetlife Food and Music Festival will be in stadiums within a couple of years. What started out as a small gathering in the parking lot behind Sweetgreen's Dupont Circle location expanded to a full, Strokes-headlined day at Merriweather Post Pavilion last year. On Saturday, it will expand into a two-stage, 20-some act, 30-some food vendor party all over the Merriweather grounds. Breakout star DJ Avicii is this year's headliner and the subject of a profile in Friday's Weekend section. We have the set times, a Spotify playlist of the best tunes you could hear Saturday (a few songs contain bad words) and notes on the recommended acts. Update: Spotify seems to be having some issues this morning Pavilion Stage 12:30 - 1:15 p.m. - fun. This is the band responsible for "We Are Young," the song that's probably stuck in your head this very second. You know it: "Toniiiiiight / We are young / So let's set the world on fiiiiire!" A few years from now we'll either wonder how this Queen-loving trio was so low on this bill, or forget who they were entirely. This charismatic Harlem rapper is one of the safest bets for a 2012 breakout. 3 - 4 p.m. - Fitz and the Tantrums Here's a band tailor-made for festivals. Its energetic rock-and-soul goes down easy and plays well on big stages. 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. - Explosions in the Sky 5:50 - 7 p.m. - The Shins James Mercer has convened a new set of bandmates, but his knack for finely crafted, classic, catchy pop songs remains, as heard on new album "Port of Morrow." 7:20 - 8:30 p.m. - Kid Cudi 9 - 10:30 p.m. - Avicii Treehouse Stage 12 - 12:20 p.m. - Ben Browning 12:25 - 12:45 - Action Bronson This renowned chef-turned-rapper still spits lyrics about food, and his style invites comparisons to Wu-Tang's Ghostface Killah. 12:55 - 1:15 p.m. - Haim 1:30 - 1:55 p.m. - Yuna 2:50 - 3:20 p.m. - The Knocks 3:35 - 4:05 p.m. - U.S. Royalty The local neo-classic-rock favorites have become the Sweetlife house band: This marks the third straight year the quarter has performed at the festival. 5:05 - 5:35 p.m. - Delta Spirit 5:50 - 6:20 p.m. - Zola Jesus This exceedingly sunny festival needs a little darkness, and Zola Jesus's glacial, icy synth-driven songs will fill that niche perfectly. 6:35 - 7:15 p.m. - Twin Shadow
