it seems there are 3 reasons to spread the bands in such an odd fashion, from what i gather. 1st reason is because of touring; a handful of bands on the first day are touring together, so it's only natural for them to be lumped into the same day.
2nd reason could be to try exposing bands of one genre to that of the next. even though a lot of the music and fans don't mix well, there are still business transactions to be made through the kids that just love everything or found something new, such as a kid who only listens to commercial metalcore finding out about old school thrash bands, death metal, etc.
3rd reason is definitely all about business. they know that there are a lot of people who will just spend the money no matter what because they want to "support the scene" or they don't care about sitting through 10 hours of crap to see a few of their favorite bands. and in my own experience, instead of sitting through a few bands i didn't care for, i'd go look at merchandise and end up spending a crap load of money, so it keeps the vendors in business and the palladium gets to keep a portion of the money.
also...would you rather see 25 bands in a row that you love with no breaks, or be able to show up late to avoid 6 crappy bands, see 3 good ones in a row, take a break to eat or just be able to breathe, then see the last few good bands? although, this year and last year, there have been way too many crappy bands to separate the good
