Pretty Lights will play the Which one of the nights, 100%
Think Bjork gets the What the other night and that's it for our LNs.
Tent LOCKS/Near-Locks Boys Noize Wolfgang Gartner Porter Robinson A-Trak Four Tet Conspirator
Tent hopefuls/likely ZZ Top (Might be too big but if Alice Cooper can play LN tent I think ZZ Top can too) Beach House A$AP Rocky Jim James (and/or Superjam) Tame Impala Portugal the Man Billy Idol Earl Sweat Divine Fits Purity Ring Swans Ariel Pink
I would assume that most or all out of Pretty Lights, Boyz Noise, Wolfgang Gartner, Porter Robinson, Clockwork, Paper Diamond and A-Track are locks to play late-night sets.
The Which Stage late-night set will probably be either Bjork, Wilco or Pretty Lights. Maybe they will get a late-night What Stage set like Jay-Z a few years ago.
We can safely assume that at least two of the rap acts will play a late-night set (Wu-Tang, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, Macklemore, Death Grips).
Artists that would make more sense to perform at night than during the day would be The xx, Animal Collective, Passion Pit, Beach House and Matt & Kim.
And of course the jammier bands always have a place in late-night...That would put up Edward Sharpe, Super Jam, Ed Helms Bluegrass and John McLaughlin upf or consideration.
For my own personal enjoyment I would love The National, Local Natives or Japandroids.
I'm sure I missed some genre-specific artists so please add to my list of speculations!
Yeah, Beach House would be great, and it's almost necessary to their stage set up - slowly rotating fans with spotlights behind them. A daytime set would render their set up useless.
4/17 Jim James
5/17 Foals
6/8 Tallest Man On Earth
6/11 Local Natives
6/13-16 Bonnaroo
7/6 Bob Dylan, My Morning Jacket, and Wilco
7/12-14 Forecastle
8/15 STS9 and Umphreys McGee
10/25-27 Mountain Oasis

Thursday This: Earl Sweatshirt Thursday That:Four Tet Thursday Other:Purity Ring
This would be awful for me.
Same with me, dude. I'm just looking at all the artists that could play late on Thursday and I like all of them. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone I'm a little more indifferent about like Trombone Shorty slip in... but I'm expecting at least one (probably more) major conflicts Thursday night. I think I'm going to see Purity Ring in my hypothetical conflict but it's going to be rough. I think Purity Ring makes the most sense in the Sleigh Bells, Phantogram spot.

There have been 14 LN acts each of the past 2 years. So with that in mind...
Most Likely Contenders: Pretty Lights (100%) Bjork (will at least end in LN, so may not be straight LN act) The xx Animal Collective Superjam Portugal. The Man Boys Noize Wolfgang Gartner Porter Robinson A Trak Holy Ghost Paper Diamond Four Tet Conspirator Araabmuzik
Possible/Wildcards: Wu-Tang David Bryne & St. Vincent Dirty Projectors Billy Idol A$AP Rocky
Beach House - I think they get the SBTRKT award for the artist that should be LN but isn't going to be. Also, they may be too big for a tent.
