Fun is confirmed I believe. Unless the hints containing band names are flat lies.


Rumors I've heard additionally at various times are pearl jam, depeche, and muse



Confirmed based on hints(anagrams, leaving little debate or clear releases, or flat band confirmations): shovels and ropes, junip group love, smith westerners, haim, Neko case, Portugal the man, joy formidable, the cure, fun, local natives, jake bugg, deangelo, true believers and kaskade (list growing quickly today)

Edit: I see now muse confirmed themselves
Edit: seeing the xx now

My buddy is in town and he has the scoop...I'm currently trying to get him drunk so he'll tell me the lineup. So far all I've gotten is that The Killers MIGHT be playing. I'll keep y'all posted.

He's giving me Band of Horses, NIN, The Cure, Mumford and Sons...I'm still working on him

I was just told Fleetwood Mac and Pearl Jam.

Again, nothing confirmed. He's generally right, though.

I've been hearing pearl jam for awhile- wouldn't be a bit surprised

FM makes some sense, though I haven't heard it before now

Not too bad of a lineup as far as hitting all genres. Always good to see Greensky Bluegrass on line ups. Very underrated band.

I'm happy with the lineup. If I was hand picking favorites obviously it wouldn't look the same but for a festival weekend it looks solid.

I believe he's on lollapalooza too - which is more strange (both booked by C3)

This is an underwhelming lineup. Mrs. Baloo and I decided not to go. Of the eight nominal headliners, the only one I really want to see is the Cure. On the next tier, there's a few gems in there (particularly the JSBX reunion), but not enough to justify the cost of the ticket. Or missing an LSU game.

This is a pretty "twee" festival lineup. I didn't like Depeche Mode on their first go around, I certainly don't want to see them 20 years past their expiration date. And I think they are one of the better headliners.
