There are MORE guys.
I'm music director at a radio station. (and have posted other confirmations via press releases, so ya' can trust me) so here's a copypaste from an email about Oberhofer.
OBERHOFER: New Peak! 7-6!! HUUUUGE PRIORITY!!! Named NME's 'About To Break' Band! Letterman performance: theaudioperv.com/2012/03/22/oberhofer-away-frm-u-321-letterman/ PLAYING BOTH LOLLAPALOOZA AND BONNAROO THIS SUMMER! NME: "Beautifully played and recorded, its dazzling guitars, elegiac piano and soaring strings are all rendered in crystal clarity. But what Oberhofer really does is write choruses-simple sentiments, written simply, expressed with passion and sincerity." DROWNED IN SOUND: "There are other band members, but it’s Brad’s character that drives the album. It’s his ebullient charm, it’s his melody, it’s his heartbreak. From the opening piano line, it becomes apparent that Time Capsules II is an album rich with endearing naïvety; a commercial release on a mission to cheer you...Musically, Oberhofer strike a neat balance between the youthful exuberance of a teen gang thrashing wildly at their instruments and a troupe of trained musicians, carefully honing their art. The crux of what makes this album great is the force with which the simplest of emotions are conveyed...these are well-crafted songs, precise and cultured."
Then again, the promoter could just be wrong. But I think it's right. Dunno if they're big enough to not be cafe, but we just got our cafe bands.

YES!!! I adored Pela but never got to see them. Now I get a 2nd chance to see Billy? Up close? Like a starry-eyed teenage fangirl? Be still my giddy heart! (Yes, I'm smitten...there's just... something about him!)

@ holls:
Billy is a great guy, really sweet and completely into what he does as an artist. I got a chance to talk to him in Philly about a month ago. My friend and I (we are music teachers and vocal coaches) discussed vocal technique with him and have been in contact with him ever since.

Now I'm really thinking they are going to pull one more big add. If they pulled in Kenny this late in the game they can pull another. I think all rumors about very slow ticket sales are true.

I agree. I think Bonnaroo didnt quite expect all the other festivals to come so hard this year. I know a lot of people who had to decide between lolla and roo and chose lolla. I was tempted too. In addition to that they couldnt quite reign in the jam-friendly crowd as well as they expected because of how top-loaded Hangout was. Jack White, RHCP, DMB, Wilco, also has Dispatch plus Flaming Lips and SCI. Moreover, Bonnaroo appealed to the Indi crowd this year but still couldnt fully commit, largely due to scheduling conflicts (European dates,etc) and self-imposed restrictions on who they could book due to overlap with Forcastle. It wouldnt surprise me at all if ticket sales were very slow this year after the initial rush of Radiohead fans blew through.
And if you compare the drawing power of this year's top line vs. last year, last year easily sells many more tickets. Eminem, Black Keys, Buffalo Springfield, Arcade Fire, MMJ, Widepread Panic, Robert Plant, The Strokes, Little Wayne, Mumford, Bassnectar, SCI, Decemberists, Girl Talk, Primus, Beirut, etc.
