I would go see Third Day. Haven't really heard of the others. But I actually really enjoy listening to Third Day's lead singer, and their songs of course.

It seems like this year there aren't as many well known bands. I remember reading the list last year and at least recognizing all of the bands. This year I haven't even heard of most of them. I might go Friday night to hear Casting Crowns, but that's the only group I'm remotely anxious to see. Maybe Family Force 5 and Third Day too. I just saw Toby Mac last month so I have no need to see him again. Overall I'm kind of disappointed with the list this year.

They may not be well-known to you, but I've heard of most of the people performing this year. All nights should be good, as long as I can manage to pull myself away from the rides long enough (last year I ended up skipping most of the shows in favor of riding stuff instead ).
