Are you familiar with Axe Body Spray?  I think their tents will be making another appearance.  

I hear whipsters (whispers uttered by hipsters) of the Apple Dumpling Gang playing a secret show at Cobra Lounge, too.  Not sure which day though.  

Also worth checking out is Staind, Lou Bega and Smash Mouth.

Anyone know more than the two bands I recognize? Who are the standouts?

I don't know anything about their new album,

but Dirty Projectors have historically been very awesome.

h' -  you can only use the pass for the day or days you volunteer.  So if you are volunteering sunday you won't get free admission saturday unless you are signed up to volunteer for both days.

There may very well be an opportunity during your shift to take a 30 min or longer break to go in the fest as well.

Well, that's weird-- thought I could use the day pass for Sunday but they said I can only use it for Saturday.  Not much use to it for the couple hours before my volunteer shift, and wasn't really wanting to spend a whole day there. Didn't work like that in the past.  Oh well. . . .

they still need folks for Friday and Saturday.
