Alright here's a game: What headliners have you seen in 2014-2017 that you would want to see again? Headliner here equals band you saw headlining a major festival or playing an arena or large amphitheater.
I'll go first.
Kanye West Iron Maiden
end of list.
edit: actually, since I'm seeing LCD Soundsystem for a third time this fall I should say them, but I won't be seeing them in a headliner setting per my own rules so idk
Arcade Fire Outkast Beyoncé LCD Soundsystem David Gilmour The Strokes The Cure Modest Mouse Kendrick Lamar Radiohead Paul McCartney Björk Missy Elliott Nine Inch Nails
Arcade Fire Kanye West Jack White Nine Inch Nails Deadmau5 Florence Kendrick Foo Fighters Tool LCD Soundsystem Dead and Company Guns N Roses Radiohead U2 Roger Waters

Just gonna throw down every single artist that could be in the top 4 I can possibly think of
Fleetwood Mac Radiohead Guns N Roses Roger Waters Jay-Z Foo Fighters Childish Gambino 21 Pilots Calvin Harris Frank Ocean Florence & The Machine Beck Drake Killers Jack White Arcade Fire Muse Kings of Leon Mumford & Sons Lana Del Rey Black Keys Depeche Mode Tool
Man, literally so tired of most of those names (and I know, this fest isn't just out to serve me yada yada).
If recent history is any indication, we don't even have 2 of the top 4 on our radar at the 10 month mark.
Last year there's no way people were predicting U2 & The Weeknd in August. The year before nobody knew LCD and PJ were doing reunion tours... and I bet Dead & Co wasn't on many radars either.
Here's some different names for you to chew on:
Legacy Contenders:
- R.E.M (we wouldn't know of a reunion at this point)
Strong 4 or weak 3, but it could happen. Don't know if they'll be touring next year though because Damon jumps from one project to another pretty frequently
I feel like The Black Keys are going to be like The Strokes, occasionally doing festivals and maybe putting out a new album every handful of years but it won't really be good other than a passable single or two and they'll mostly just focus on doing their own things.

Except The Black Keys are infinitely better than The Strokes.
And I don't even like more than a few tunes from The Black Keys.
Which apparently makes them ineligible for trading.
I miss the dumpster fire that was the festival draft. All our drafts are way to civilized now.
Yeah, I think that the next one needs to be music related. That should shake things up. Maybe the follow up to the Band Draft... the Solo Artist Draft. That should have enough ambiguity to cause some people to rage quit.
I was thinking more along the lines of Police - Tool - WSP
Ahh my first 'Roo's set of headliners. Fond memories of the festival, but The Police were what originally drew me there. And they were possibly the most disappointin' live show I have ever seen (exemptin' really shitty local shows).
