Before looking them up on YouTube after the insider leak, I had never heard anything from Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, or Widespread Panic. I haven't heard anything from Plant since Sea of Love.And I am very grateful that I will have the opportunity to see them. I will get to be the excited music virgin again.
Yeah, I wanted a Radiohead, Prince, Incubus, Daft Punk, Roger Waters extravaganza. But nobody else in the world is getting that either. So why get upset?
Wasn't insider's Kings of Leon leak met with this same kind of stuff last year? IE: "They're not my idea of a headliner, so it's not true"
There was definitely an element of denial even in the face of AC saying that they had a headliner that wasn't around ten years ago.
Also, many if not most of us thought that Stevie would be a preheadliner and could not pull of a headlining spot. (I think we can all pretty much agree that he nailed it.)
There was NO way a legend like Stevie Wonder would have been a pre-headliner IMO. But then again, I too also thought KoL would not be a headliner so makes you wonder...

I don't think this is the first time there would be a last-minute scramble for a headliner, either. Last year's announcement was postponed (I, personally, find it awfully hard to believe that there were no backup capabilities to announce it, from Knoxville or a phone or whatever else) along with a rumored attempt to grab Neil Young. Neil, for that matter, was a late addition as a headliner many years ago (with negotiation presumably going on AFTER the initial announcement). And, while the circumstances were different, there was the 2009 WSP/Jack Johnson/Allmans scramble, too.
As far as Furthur goes, she said that they were booked and then cancelled in the recent past. This explains why they are still negotiating with a headliner and why we not only don't have a line up yet but why we don't even have a line up release date.
I don't see the logic in Furthur canceled so now we need to go down to the last minute trying to book a big rap headliner. I am pretty sure they plan better than that.

Furthur would not have been a Saturday headliner. So if they just fell through, does that mean WSP was just booked?

My guess is that they were promoted from a LNJ Which to festival closer.
I know, right? I thought Coachella booking KOL meant Roo had locked down a seriously great line up and it was their last resort. It appears to me now, there are so many god damn festivals and only so many acts to go around. This thread has tempered my expectations and I am banking on a strong and somewhat unique under card at this point.
I just want to assure everybody on this message board... THERE IS SOMETHING THAT THEY AREN'T TELLING US. Guaranteed
confused I am time to get outa ouija board and play solitaire with the tarot deck drink the blood of an eskimo to fortify me against the heat and weave a voodoo doll out of undead wook fur that resembles ashley capps

My band canceled for my Super Party today, so I called WSP, and they are going to be here at 5PM.
