Awesome first 3 responses are your typical OT a-hole response. And people wonder why the OT has gotten so bad over the last 10 years. Pretty lineup. I wonder what Aretha's excuse for cancelling will be this year. I've never seen Sturgill Simpson and looking forward to seeing him.

I think Aerosmith could be a fun set. if they start out with some 70's stuff off 'toys in the attic' and move their way through the decades. There will definitely be some talent on hand that day.

Im pretty pumped for Sturgill, David Byrne, Jack White and the Fats tribute.

I like that they added some Reggae with Toots & Maytals and Steel Pulse. Reggae + JF + some tasty rays sounds pretty damn awesome.

Also Sturgill should be better this time around. Sailors Guide is much more in line with JF (brass) than Metamodern.

Reggae used to be commonplace at Jazz Fest back in the day (80's).

It is my understanding that he is no longer touring with the horn section. The band has been stripped down. Now, maybe he’ll bring them in for Jazz Fest; I don’t know.

Good lineup. I don't go to Jazzfest anymore though, it's ridiculously expensive, and either you're baking in a dustbowl or wading through water.

Isn't this Khalid's biggest hit LINK?

And Common is very much socially conscious hip hop.

So basically it's two popular black artists who are about as far as you can get from the Chief Keef/XXXTentacion/Lil Pump wing of hip hop.

The organizers are definitely going for a certain type of demographic with this lineup.

There will be a ton of brass at his disposal. I would think he woul bring in Bonerama or some brass band to play with him for a good part of his set
